    Effects of the diet on the severity of atherosclerosis was investigated by feeding rabbits supplemented with cholesterol, corn oil and lard for 6 months. The following results were obtained.
    (1) Corpulence of tissues such as the liver adrenal and kidney were most remarkable when the diet was supplemented with cholesterol and large amounts of animal fat.
    (2) Serum cholesterols levels showed an early rise which was particularly observed when lard was supplied.
    (3) Deposition of cholesterol in the tissues seems to occur at an earlier stage than in the aorta intima.
    (4) Depot and subcutaneous fat showed a low I. no. and did not seem to directly reflect the nature of the diet whereas the tissue I. no. resembled that of the diet.

    Effects of the diet on production and regression of atherosclerosis was studied. Rabbits were fed diets supplemented with cholesterol for a period of approx. 3 months. Serum cholesterol level variations and changes of aortic atheroma lesions were investigated. In case of production of atherosclerosis, an abrupt rise in serum cholesterol levels was first observed followed by an increase in tissue contents. Aortic atheroma formation occurred after 40 day's feeding. However, production of atheroma did not appear to be progressive after a period of approx. 70 days. It was considered that in rabbits, approx. 2 months are required for atherosclerosis to proceed.
    In regression experiments, rabbits were subjected to an atherogenic diet and subsequently transferred to a stock diet and a stock diet supplemented with corn oil respectively, In the latter diet, there was an abrupt decrease in serum cholesterol levels, and aortic atheroma lesion signs appeared to be regressive. In concern of the aorta, effectiveness could thus not be recognized by merely shifting the animals to a stock diet.

    In case of potatoes surveyed same as in other food stuffs right after cooking especially when fizzled or fried in oil comparatively substantial amount of Dehydro ascorbic acid was found. This is assumed because Diketo-gulonic acid (DKG) is produced while the material is being cooked.
    Hitherto, it has been known that while Potatoes are stored or damaged, DKG is produced and though DKG does not increase while in store, it has been reported that it does when boiled. So, in case of potatoes tests were made taking these in consideration. Again, assuming the effect of measured value of oxidized enzyme contained in them took caution to boil them previously. On potatoes, made separate test on Diketo-gulonic acid specially, However in order to avoid the effect of enzyme oxide as the preliminary experiment, we first made some potatoes steamed to make them immune to enzyme and then found out the differences of weight and the volume of C content in comparison with those of raw potatoes.

    The enrichment of “amanatto” (sweet string bean) with dicetyl thiamine sulfate (heat stable thiamine derivative) was studied. It was found that the double incubations of the original boiled beans in a concentrated treacle mixed with the thiamine derivative is the best method for the enrichment.

    Rats were administered the restricted test diet of 15g a rat each day. 10 days after feeding, Co gamma irradiation was given on whole-body with 600 roentgen.
    Excretion of total nitrogen (Table 2 and 3) was increased by the irradiation and it was markedly high in 8% casein diet group in comparison with the 25% group.
    The irradiation elevated the excretion of urea-nitrogen (Table 2, 4 and 5). In 8% casein group, the portion of urea-nitrogen was about 10% less than the normal, but, 25% casein group showed the almost same result as the normal.
    The excretion of allantoin-nitrogen (Table 2 and 6) was affected by the irradiation. In 8% casein group, the increase was as high as the total nitrogen, whereas 25% casein group did not show a significant increase.
    It is considered from these results that 8% casein group received a large damage of gamma ray, and protein catabolism and tissue destruction were occurred markedly, whereas 25% casein group received a less effect.
