摘要：In the present work, diets supplemented with D-and L-methionne 5 and 10%, respectively, to a basal diet containing 10% casein and 30% fat were administered to rats, and the weight change and the histopathologic degeneration of the rats were investigated. No change of body weight was observed in both 5 % groups, whereas a remarkable decrease was seen in both 10% groups. In both 5 % groups, the kidneys were free from histopothologic change, but a slight fatty degeneration was observed in the livers. In the 10% groups, however, the change in livers was very slight, but the fatty degeneration in kidneys was detected. It might be concluded that excessive supplemeut of D-or L-methionine caused no fat deposition in the livers, but had an unfavorable effect on the kidneys.
