[Morphological changes in the liver due to the parenteral administration of casein hydrolysate and aminopeptide].

In experiments set up on 30 mongrel rats kept for 10 days on a protein-free diet the influence of an intraperitoneal introduction of caseine hydrolysate or aminopeptide on the morphological structure of the liver was studied. It was found that introduction to rats of aminopeptide or caseine hydrolysate caused stabilization of morphological changes in the liver produced by protein fasting. However, with aminopeptide introduced after protein fasting positive morphological changes proved greater than with an analogous utilization of caseine hydrolysate.
