Influence of Vibration upon Protein Metabolism

Abstract

The vibration generally makes the rats decrease their growth, food intake, nitrogen excretion into urine, haemoglobin, serum protein and nitrogen balance.
Moreover, these effects are more distinguished in the case of the groups fed on soybean protein than casein protein.
The high-protein group (casein 24%), in spite of exposure to the vibration, was the best one in viewpoints of growth, nitrogen balance, haemoglobin, serum protein and activity of xanthin oxydase of liver.
