This study was designed to compare the effect of dietary intakes on different quality protein & levels of caloric consumption supplemented by sugar at the level of 26% of total caloric intakes. 30 males and same number of females of Albino rats, aged 3040 days were devided into following six groups, 5 rats each.
ACO Group: Ad libitum, Casein, no sugar group
ACS Group: Ad libitum, Casein, 26,o sugar supplemented group
RBO Group: 500,o restriction,Bean, no sugar group
RBS Group: 50% restriction, Bean, 26% sugar supplemented group
RAO Group: 50% restriction, Anchovy, no sugar group
RAS Group: 50%. restriction, Anchovy, 26% sugar supplemented group
The rats were kept in individual cage and given 6 different diet for 12 weeks.
The result of this study were elucidated as follow. Body weight gained and organ weight showed no significant differences between sugar supplemented group and the others.
It was noteworthy that the shrinkage of female sex organ supplemented by sugar in the diet showed lower degree than that of compared groups in this study.
In other word, degree of shrinkage due to protein caloric restriction was decreased by sugar supplementation.
Nitrogen ?Metabolism and total nitrogen retention were not observed any significant differences between sugar supplemented group and the others.
Dental caries showed higher incidence for sugar supplemented groups.
Hematology and bone growth showed no differences in this study.
The similar results on the metabolic effects concerned the above view points were obtained-in the different protein groups such as bean & anchovy as protein sources in the diet.
Caloric restriction produced a lower growth-rate, lower body weight and poorer long bone growth. But composition of bone ash, concentration of nitrogen, calcium and blood glucose, liver fats and liver water content maintenanced at the same levels of -t9ndard group.
