Abstract: | Metallic tin powder injected into Lewis rats caused marked enlargement of draining lymph nodes with prominent hyperplasia
of plasma cells. A low level of dietary protein (8%) or deficiency of choline interfered with the cellular proliferation and
reduced the size of the nodes by nearly onethird compared to a normal protein diet (20%). A high level of protein in the diet
(50%) did not augment the effect of metallic tin powder beyond that achieved by a level usually considered adequate (20%). |
