Protein metabolism when antipeptone is consumed, C. Voir (Sitzungshcr. heijer 

 Acad. JVissensch., 25 (1896), Xo. S, pp. 443-446; abs. iti Vierteljahr. Chem. Xahr. und 

 Genussmtl., 11 (1896), Xo. 2, p. 165). — Feeding experiments showed that while albu- 

 mosc could replace protein, anti])eptone could only act as a protector of protein.

 changed to peptone before it is absorbed in digestion. Antipei)tone must be 

 regarded as a more complete cleavage protluct of protein.
