    TLDR Liver in the diet reduces cortisone acetate toxicity effects in rats.
    The study found that administering toxic doses of cortisone acetate to immature rats on a synthetic diet led to retarded growth, alopecia, and death. However, these adverse effects were significantly mitigated by including desiccated whole liver at 10% of the diet. The protective elements in the liver were distinct from known B vitamins.
