Serum protein changes in cafeteria mice induced by starvation.
Serum protein changes in cafeteria and control mice induced by starvation have been studied. Animals were subjected to food deprivation at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 or 36 hours. Results show a more stabilized situation in cafeteria mice than controls particularly in protein metabolism. Serum protein composition changed very little during starvation, suggests a lower protein and amino acid catabolism induced by the high adaptation to consume lipids.
