title: Effect of soya consumption on hepatic monooxygenase enzyme system and some lipid parameters in rats.
abstract: Young male rats were fed with diets containing Hungarian soya products (extruded or granulated soya preparates) as the only source of protein for four weeks. The weight gain of the animals, the cholesterol and triglyceride content of liver and the activity of the hepatic monooxygenase system were studied. 20% soya protein in the diet (either from extruded or from granulated soya products) supplemented with sulphur containing amino acids met the protein requirement of the young growing rats. In a separate experiment the protein depletion-repletion method was used to investigate the effect of Purina 500 E soya protein isolate on the above mentioned parameters. The results indicate that diets containing 20% soya protein are satisfactory for the regeneration of the protein depleted animals.
