31. For many years, pellagra was believed to be an infectious disease promoted by unsanitary conditions. It was common in sanatoriums and orphanages but only among the patients and not the staff. A study of the diets showed that sufferers of pellagra rarely ate high-quality proteins, such as in eggs, milk, and meat. Introduction of these proteins into the diet cured pellagra. Which of the following experiments would support the belief that a lack of proteins causes pellagra? (1) giving fruits that contain vitamin C to animals with pellagra (2) reducing the intake of high-quality proteins in healthy animals and monitoring the results (3) inoculating healthy individuals with secretions from pellagra skin lesions (4) having healthy animals live in an unsanitary environment (5) moving animals with pellagra to a sanitary environment

31. For many years, pellagra was believed to
be an infectious disease promoted by
unsanitary conditions. It was common in
sanatoriums and orphanages but only
among the patients and not the staff. A
study of the diets showed that sufferers
of pellagra rarely ate high-quality proteins,

Introduction of these proteins into the
diet cured pellagra.
Which of the following experiments would
support the belief that a lack of proteins
causes pellagra?
(1) giving fruits that contain vitamin C to
animals with pellagra
(2) reducing the intake of high-quality
proteins in healthy animals and
monitoring the results
(3) inoculating healthy individuals with
secretions from pellagra skin lesions
(4) having healthy animals live in an
unsanitary environment
(5) moving animals with pellagra to a
