title: Effect of different dietary carbohydrates on some hepatic dehydrogenases and total lipid during starvation and refeeding regimen.
abstract: Lipogenic capacity of various dietary carbohydrates starch, glucose sucrose and lactose was tested during ad lib feeding and starvation followed by refeeding. Sucrose was found to have maximal effect on hepatic total lipid and the enzymes in the study followed by glucose and sago while lactose was found to be toxic. Starvation resulted depression in the activities of various enzymes. The enzyme activity inducing effect was again exhibited by sucrose diet during ad lib and restricted refeeding followed by starvation.
