The effects of different kinds of fats and oils on nitrogen utilization were investigated. Forty five male albino rats aged 40 days were divided into nine groups on weight basis. Each group was fed ad. libitum one of these experimental diets supplemets with one of the following fats at the 1890 level: soya-bean oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, rice-bran oil, rapeseed oil, butter fat, tallow, lard, and hydrogenated fish oil. After 4 weeks on the experimental diets, nitrogen balance was determined over a 7-day period. At the same time, digestibility of fats was measured.
The results indicated that, in spite of the marked differences in the degree of saturation of the fats, no significant differences in nitrogen retention were found. The nine fats were absorbed to essentially the same extent.

When we make a standard menu suitable for Japanese, it is necessary to know the actual dietetic pattern prevailing among them. This report is concerned with the results of a survey on pattern of menus of breakfast, lunch and supper of the general households in a large city and a suburban town.
This kinds of side dishes were full of variety, and the numbers of these dishes were per 100 households, 89 in breakfast, 121 in lunch and 125 in supper. Misosoup and Tsukemono (pickles) were most widely utilized followed by raw eggs, broiled fish and “Ohitashi (boild vegetables). It seems that these kinds of side-dishes are most typical patterns still prevailing among Japanese people.
About 36% of the households surveyed prepared 3 dishes a meal.
As the staple foods, rice was mostly utilized either in breakfast, lunch and supper. Bread was used more in the large city than in the suburban town which was the most striking difference between these two areas.
Of the protein sources eggs and fish were prominently employed in both the areas.
The proportion of the cooked foods and uncooked foods such as raw eggs, natto, ham, sausage and fresh vegetable was also observed. More uncooked foods were used in the large town throughout three meals, especially in breakfast about a half was served uncooked.

We observed in the Diabetics which is most effective the diet therapy, the medical therapy and the diet, the medical both using therapy. Rat serum glucose was mesured during the course of the diabetics induction by Aloxan.
As the diet therapy low-carbohydrate diet was used. As the diet, the medical therapy high-carbohydrate containing to HB 113 and low-carbohydrate diet containing to HB 113 (medicine has the effect for falling down serum glucose level) was used.
We could observed both high-carbohydrate and low-carbohydrate diet containing to medicine alowed more effective for falling the serum glucose than low-carbohydrate diet only in the course of serum glucose level.

Rat serum complement was mesured during the course of hepatoma induction by D. A. B. in the different protein intake. The animal consists of a group of rats feeded by high protein diet (protein content 26%) and another group of rats fed by moderate protein diet (protein content 13%) containg 0.005% D. A. B..
Serum complement was mesured 2, 4, and 6 months (8 months for high protein diet group) after the onset of D. A. B. feeding. All the rats were sacrificed 6 months after D. A. B. feeding and the high protein diet group 8 months after and the liver and spleen were studied.
In the high protein group the serum complement dropped 4 months after D. A. B. feeding whic gradually elevated from 6th to 8th month but still to be lower than the control group. On 8 hht month after D. A. B. feeding none of the rats developed hepatoma, which the spleen showed non remarkable follicular atrophy.
In the moderate protein feeding group the serum complement dropped 2 months faster tha of the high protein feeding group and Hepatoma develop much heavier and became malignant at a faster rate than that of the high protein feeding group.
