“…This investigation was stimulated by the recent reports of Harper and associates that certain combinations of amino acids may produce imbalance, toxicities, and antagonisms (4). Elvehjem has recently reviewed the findings of his Wisconsin group on the effects of amino acid imbalance on maintenance and growth (2).…”

“…Since the observation that antibiotics increase the growth rates of farm animals (9), there have been several publications concerning the effect of antibiotics on the growth rate of rats. That antibiotics do not stimulate the growth of rats fed a complete ration (23, 27) seems to be generally accepted, although there are reports to the contrary (2,70,76,25,29,30).…”

The rate of gain of rats fed raw soybean oil meal was 80%, or less, of gains made by rats fed autoclaved meal. The addition of 0.1% procaine pencillin plus 0.1% streptomycin sulfate has resulted in approximately equal rates of gains by rats fed raw and autoclaved soybean oil meal. These results open a new point of attack on understanding the growth inhibitory effects of raw soybean oil meal and, possibly, on the problem of the growth stimulatory effects of antibiotics. Rats fed raw soybeanoil meal, as the protein source in an otherwise complete ration, grow at a slower rate than animals fed a similar ration containing autoclaved soybean oil meal. This effect was first noted by Osborne and Mendel (24) in 1917. The same effect on the growth rate of swine was reported by Hayward, Bohstedt, and Fargo in 1934 (73) and on chicks by Wilgus, Norris, and Heuserin 1936 (32).

Nitrogen balance was studied for five to seven days before and during oral administration of neomycin or kanamycin to 14 patients with severe chronic renal failure who were receiving long-term nutritional therapy consisting of protein restriction and supplements of essential amino acids or their nitrogen-free analogues. There was a significant improvement in nitrogen balance during the antibiotic period when compared to the control period, averaging +0.80 g of N per day (P less than 0.005). There was no significant change in average dietary nitrogen, fecal nitrogen, the excretion of non-urea urinary nitrogen, or urea appearance (defined as the sum of urinary urea and the change in the urea pool) during the antibiotic period. However, total nitrogen intake increased by 0.47 g per day owing to nitrogen contained in the drugs. The lack of a change in fecal nitrogen implies that fecal nitrogen not attributable to the drug must have fallen substantially. We conclude that oral neomycin and kanamycin may improve nitrogen balance in patients with severe chronic renal failure by diminishing endogenous fecal nitrogen.
