Abstract
The fat infiltration of the liver in response to an alipotropic diet is more uniform and more intensive in rats of the inbred Fischer strain than that seen in the past in genetically less homogeneous strains. Estrogen, in particular ethinyl estradiol, when given in combination with methionine, exerts a marked lipotropic effect with a corresponding reduction of the liver fat to normal values.
