EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON CYCLIC HYPERALIMENTATION

To study the metabolic differences between the continuous hyperalimentation and cyclic hyperalimentation animal studies were performed. Mongrel dogs weighing 8 -12 Kg were grouped as follows: (1) G-1: Starved for 24 hours (n=5). (2) G-2: Continuous hyperalimentation without fat (n= 5). (3) G-3: Continuous hyperalimentation with fat (n=5). (4) G-4: Cyclic hyperalimentation without fat (n=10). (5) G-5: Cyclic hyperalimentation with fat (n=10). The results: (1) Blood sugar levels were almost within normal range in each group. (2) EFAD was not prevented by fat free cyclic hyperalimentation, although some tendency of the delay in EFAD occurrence was admitted. (3) Nitrogen balances were maintained positive in all groups, although highest level was attained by G-2 group followed by G-4, G-3, and G-5 respectively.
