| Abstract: | Effect of feeding defatted millet flour at 5, 10 and 14.5 percent protein levels respectively to rats for 6 weeks has been studied on their liver phospholipids. Feeding of millet at these protein levels significantly increased liver total lipids and total glycerides as compared to control rats fed casein at 10 percent level. Liver phospholipids and phosphatidyl choline were significantly increased in rats fed millet at 10 and 14.5 percent protein levels whereas phosphatidyl ethanolamine was increased in all millet protein fed groups.
