title: [Lysine deficiency and carnitine biosynthesis in the rat].
abstract: Male rats weanling fed 20% gluten diet for 90 days of demonstrate to have about one-third lower level of carnitine per gram of skeletal muscle and heart muscle than the group which received the same diet supplemented with 1% of lysine. The carnitine level of the liver, however, was significantly higher in the unsupplemented versus the lysine supplemented groups.
