Effect of High Plant Protein Regimens on the Liver of Dogs

In large amounts, peanut residue meal produces lesions of a rapid fatty degeneration of the liver; soya meal causes a similar process, although a slower one, which leads eventually to the development of a classic annular cirhosis; sunflower seed meal leads only to modifications of the mitochondria. These three foods cause the appearance of serum disturbances, easily demonstrated by liver function tests.

The addition of lipotropic agents to peanut meal administered ad libitum does not decrease its toxicity.

Meals made from the oil-free residues of peanut, soya, and even sunflower seed are not to be recommended in the dietary of patients with liver disease.
