Popis: SummaryWounded rats were kept on diets containing varying amounts of different proteins and “protein sulfur”. There appears to be no relation between the amount of protein nitrogen fed or retained by the rats and the rate of healing. However, the “protein sulfur” retention appears to be correlated with the rate of healing. It is suggested that the amount of retained sulfur in excess over that utilized for normal tissue protein synthesis is an important factor in determining the rate of healing of experimental wounds.
