 note = {The effects of undernutrition due to a low-protein diet were examined. Despite otherwise similar diets, a protein-deficient diet resulted in low growth and hypoalbuminosis,and the addition of amino acids improved growth. Furthermore, according to the model of the“ two-hit theory”, iron overload occurs in the liver. However, in this study, the liver iron levels decreased with undernutrition. In addition, the zinc and copper level decreases in the liver may be the cause of hypoalbuminosis. Zinc and copper are essential for the functions of enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase（ SOD）. Degradation of the antioxidant effect maypromote hepatic injury.},
