Experimental Evidence Supports Suspected Role For Protein Deficiency in Origin of Cardiac Malfunction

Experimental Evidence Supports Suspected Role For Protein Deficiency in Origin of Cardiac... A nutritional study now in progress at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers evidence that protein deficiency may play a role in the origin of cardiac malfunction. The study, sponsored by the US Army Medical Research and Development Command, uses male volunteers who are placed on carefully controlled regimens of diet and activity for periods up to 68 days. To determine the effect of protein deficiency on the body, a group of volunteers ages 18 to 23 were divided by random selection into four groups. Group 1 and group 2 were fed a diet containing 1.2 gm of protein per kg of body weight per day, while group 3 and group 4 were fed a daily diet containing only 0.4 gm/kg of protein. Group 1 and group 3 performed prescribed amounts of strenuous activity daily. Group 2 and group 4 served as controls, performing no strenuous work.
