Abstract
Summary A liquid elemental diet (Vivonex) was given to rats for 6 days while control animals received a normal diet. At the end of the experiment each animal received one intraperitoneal injection of tritiated thvmidine at 8a.m. Animals from each group were killed hourly during the first 24h after the injection and the proliferative activity was studied by autoradiography of the mucosa of the colon using the labeled mitoses-wave method. The epithelial cell proliferation was significantly decreased in the colon of the Vivonex-fed animals.Keywords
