The occurrence and severity of hemor agic degeneratn have been determined in rats fed twentyfive diets varying in protein ntent from 18 40%, in tal methnine from 0.4 1.2% and in tal from 0.05 1.2%. The proteins, casein, lactalbumin, fibrin, edestin and gelatin were used with and without supplements of methnine and .
