The Role of Myo-Inositol in Purified Diets1

Mack H. McCormick, P. N. Harris and C. A. Anderson

The Lilly Research Laboratories, Indianapolis, Indiana

The addition of inositol to a purified diet consisting of amino acids, sucrose, corn oil, salts and vitamins did not affect the growth rate of the Harlan strain white rat. Gross and microscopic examination of the animals and tissues did not show any differences between the two groups. In addition it was shown that this purified diet was adequate for good growth of these rats over a 16-week period.

1 The word inositol as used in this paper refers to the common myo-inositol.

Manuscript received 30 October 1953.
