title: Changes in serum proteins and in major liver constituents following carbon tetrachloride and a high-fat choline-free diet in rats.
abstract: Both carbon tetrachloride and a high-fat, low-protein choline-free diet cause hepatomegaly in rats due to an accumulation of both lipids and proteins with a concomitant increase in deoxyribonucleic acid content. CCl4 causes a decline in hepatic glycogen. Serum albumin level is decreased in CCl4-treated rats and increased in those fed the experimental diet.
