Alaskan malamute chondrodysplasia--VII. Isolation and characterization of copper, zinc and iron binding proteins in Canis familiaris.

1. Three low molecular weight (12,000, 10,000 and 7,000) metal binding proteins have been isolated from the livers of normal and chondrodysplastic Alaskan Malamutes. 2.

Alaskan malamute chondrodysplasia--VIII. Incorporation of [14C]glucosamine and [3H]serine in hepatic metal-binding proteins of Canis familaris.

1. Hepatic proteins isolated from control kennel dogs bound small quantities of zinc and iron and the peptide fraction contained neither metal. 2.

Cardiopathogenicity of rapeseed oils and oil blends differing in erucic, linoleic, and linolenic acid content.

Male Wistar rats were fed semipurifed diets containing 20% fat for 25 weeks. Ten different oils or oil blends were employed, including rapessed oils, simulated rapeseed-type oils, and modified rapeseed-type oils. Safflower, soybean, and hydrogenated coconut oils served as control oils.
