Abstract
Summary
All of the lathyrogens administered produced some degree of osteolathyrism and suppression of growth. Alterations in the skeleton and soft tissues appear to develop independently of each other following ingestion of the lathyrogens fed in this study. Amino-acetonitrile produces the greatest variety of soft tissue changes. Semicarbazide appears to be the most suitable for production of uncomplicated osteolathyrism. B-aminopropio-nitrile was found to be the most effective lathyrogen for production of angiorrhexis.
