Protein nutrition and

Eleven controlled diet and environment experiments have been designed in a way that can be used to investigate the effects of protein nutrition and heat and/or water stress on diet-tissue A N. Laboratory rats were raised on purified, pelletized diets in which the isotopic composition of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates were well characterized and their proportions accurately and precisely measured (Ambrose and Norr 1993). Four experiments involved manipulation of temperature and/or water availability. Of these four experiments, one used a diet with high (70%) protein concentrations and heat/water stress (36°C) and three used normal (20%) protein concentrations. Seven experiments were conducted at normal temperature (21°C) with water ad libitum. Of these seven experiments, two used diets formulated with veiy low protein (5%), three with normal protein and two with high protein concentrations.
