The influence of the caseinogen content of diets on the nature of the “cholesterol” fatty liver

IN continuation of investigation of factors influencing the nature of the " cholesterol " fatty liver, Channon and Wilkinson [1935] carried out experiments in which the percentage of protein (caseinogen) in the diet was varied at the expense of the carbohydrate (glucose).The results of those experiments, which were carried out with relatively small groups of animals in investigations concerned with the production of the " fat " fatty liver, indicated that the amount of glyceride in the "fat" fatty liver was governed by the amount of caseinogen in the diet.
