Abstract
SPECIFIC protein deficiencies can be induced in animals kept on a strict diet lacking protein but otherwise complete. There is little information in the literature about the mineral content of the organs of such animals, especially concerning trace elements. The present work compares the mineral content of the liver of protein deficient rats with that of control rats fed a non-deficient diet.
