Abstract

When oxidized corn oil (100 nmol in terms of malondialdehyde/day/rat) was administered to a riboflavin-deficient rat, the body weight gain was markedly suppressed. However, when 20, ug of riboflavin/day/rat was administered with the oxidized corn oil, reasonable growth and normal flavin levels in the liver, kidney and heart could be attained, though they were somewhat less than those of the animals fed on the normal diet containing non-oxidized corn oil. It was noted that the elevation of lipid peroxide level in blood plasma of animals administered with the oxidized oil was effectively prevented by riboflavin. These results indicate the protective effect of riboflavin on suppression of growth caused by the oxidized oil.
