    Mice were fed for different periods on a high-protein or low-protein diet with or without luteoskyrin added at a concentration of 5mg per cent. The growth, mortality, weight of the liver, and histopathological changes of the liver of the animals were examined.
    Nodular hyperplasia of the liver cells were noted in some of the test animals which had been fed on the low-protein diet with luteoskyrin for 90 days. The feeding was continued for additional 90 days, then approximately 50% of the survived mice were found to have developed nodular hyperplastic proliferation of the liver cells.
    No development of nodular hyperplasia of the liver cells was observed in the groups of the test animals fed on either only basal diet or high-protein diet with luteoskyrin during the test period.
    These observations suggest that the metabolic function of the liver cells may be affected by the feeding on the low-protein diet resulting in induction of an abnormal state as described by Berman. Consequently hyperplastic proliferation of the liver cells were induced in the animals by the supplementation of luteoskyrin to the low-protein diet.

    An experiment was carried out to find out a good index which will give the best information on the protein intake and nutritional status.
    Three healthy adult men were employed as subjects of this experiment, and they were given the following experimental diets: 1st period, normal diet for the Japanese adult men, 2nd period, low protein, low protein value diet, and 3rd period, high protein, high protein value diet. During each period amino acid levels in plasma and in urine were estimated, and the following results were obtained.
    1) Amino acid concentration in blood did not reflect the intake, only tryptophan showing the tendency to be a little low in the low-protein period.
    2) The excretion of tryptophan when expressed per kg. body weight was correlated with the intake, but the other amino acids did not always agree with the different dietary levels.
    3) The excretion ratio of the amino acids, however, reflected the state of the intake most sharply, and all four amino acids, lysine, threonine, methionine and tryptophan, were of the highest excretion ratios in the low-protein period.
