Betaine and Methionine on Renal Hemorrhagic Degeneration in Rats Receiving 2-Amino-2-Methyl Propanol-l.

Abstract

The incidence of hemorrhagic kidneys in young rats fed a low choline diet was increased by the addition of 10 mg of 2-amino-2 methylpropanol-1 per g of food. Choline at a level of 10.76 x 10-3 m[image] per g of food protected against renal degeneration caused by the addition, but betaine, methionine, and casein were unable to do so completely at the levels studied.
