title: [Preliminary experiments with rats on alkylresorcinols in rye].
abstract: Alkylresorcinols are present in some cereals, mainly in rye. Two feeding, growth and nitrogen balance experiments have been performed on rats to investigate the effects of 5-alkylresorcinols contained in a variety of rye. The results obtained from this investigation, tentative though they are because of the small number of animals, suggest that, in growing albino rats, neither the ingestion of feed nor the live weight gain nor the nitrogen retention is influenced by the application of extracted rye (freed from alkylresorcinols) or the excessive addition of rye oil or resorcinol to the diet.
