Abstract
Rats were given for 6 weeks diets supplying 3.9 kcal/g and containing 10% casein or 5, 10 and 14.5% protein from defatted millet flour; palmitic acid-1-14C was injected intraperitoneally 20 min before death. The contents of total lipid, cholesterol, phospholipid, glyceride and fatty acids in liver increased with increasing amount of protein but fell with most protein to values not significantly different from control for cholesterol and phospholipid; plasma triglyceride (TG) was not affected. Incorporation of 14C into cholesterol (non-saponifiable fraction), fatty acids (saponifiable) and TG of liver and plasma TG was increased with millet protein in the diet. Results show that accumulation of TG in liver was caused by their enhanced synthesis and unimpaired secretion into plasma
