The Effect of Protein Deficiency and Other Dietary Factors on the X Zone of the Mouse Adrenal

Four Figures

Department of Physiology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland

1. A partially protein deficient diet caused a very marked suppression of the X zone of the mouse adrenal.

2. A 77% casein diet resulted in appreciable reduction of the X zone, indicating that the X zone is maximally developed at moderate levels of dietary protein.

3. Replacement of a part of the carbohydrate by a mixed fat was without any marked effect on the X zone.

4. The X zone was larger on a synthetic diet than on chow.
