Abstract

This study was designed to compare by the body composition in 4 groups of Sprague-Dawley rats during starvation previously fed with standard, high Carbohydrate, high protein or high fat diet. A) In different internal organs and skeletal muscles, the weights were differently reduced during starvation. Especially the weight reduction of liver was the highest level at $50{\sim}70%$, and adrenal glands did not change significantly. After death due to starvation, body weight decreased morethan 40% comparing to the initial body weight and epididmal fat pads disap peared completely. B) In rats starved to death, the changes of body composition (%) were following; lipid content was markedly reduced, while protein was similar to that of zero day starvation, ash increased slightly and water content increased. C) Five days starvation did not change body composition and body weight significantly. D) Effects of succeeding starvation after feeding 4 different diets were not significant, and it seemed that 4 different diets did not affect life span due to starvation.
