Abstract
IN studies with rachitic rats Harrison and Harrison1 established aminoaciduria as one of the signs of maleic acid intoxication. Angielski et al.2 produced, by intraperitoneal administration of maleic acid, aminoaciduria in rats receiving a diet containing 50 per cent skim milk. We have studied the effect of dietary lactose on the production of aminoaciduria by maleic acid. Three groups of rats received the three diets described in Table 1.
