Abstract
Effects of the change of dietary protein on serine dehydrase activity in rat liver have been studied, using egg albumin, casein, rice protein, and wheat gluten as protein source. At 35% of dietary protein level, the activity induced by egg albumin and casein diets were higher than those by rice protein and wheat gluten diets. Parallel relation was observed between the enzyme activity and the protein intake. These results suggest that the dietary induction of this enzyme are based on the protein intake, which reflects the nutritional quality of dietary protein, rather than merely on the dietary protein level.The contribution of individual amino acid for the enzyme induction by the egg albumin diet at 35% level was investigated, and it was concluded that this enzyme induction is dependent not on a specific amino acid but on the combined effect of each amino acid.
