[Effect of arsanilic acid on various growth parameters and sugar transport in the rat].
The effects of arsanilic acid as promoter of faster growth on the nutrition index and intestinal absorption of galactose and arabinose has been studied in growing rats. The rats that received arsanilic acid 0.7 mg/day added to water showed gain in body weight and feed intake,  I.T. (feed conversion ratio) decrease and P.E.R. (protein efficiency ratio) increase. A dose of 1.4 mg/day produced harmful effects. The in vitro intestinal transport of galactose and arabinose decreased and increased respectively in animals that received additive in comparison with controls.
