Abstract

The alkaline phosphatase activity per cell was not altered by protein depletion of the livers of rats caused by feeding a protein-free diet but per gram of tissue the activity and the number of cells were doubled. The acid phosphatase activity in the livers of rats fed the protein-free diet although unchanged per gram was only 50 per cent as great per cell as in the livers of rats fed the Fox Food Blox diet. Protein depletion decreased the number of mitochondria per cell, but greatly increased the alkaline and acid phosphatase activity per mitochondrion.
