The Effect of Varying Amounts of Menhaden Oil in the Diet on the Composition of the Body Fat of the White Rat. The Storage of Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids

(From the Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry, College of Medicine, Ohio State University, Columbus)

1 The characteristic highly unsaturated fatty acids of menhaden oil are deposited in the body fat of the white rat when these acids are included in the diet.

2 Diets containing 5 to 30 per cent of menhaden oil resulted in a deposition of highly unsaturated acids from 9.7 to 17.2 per cent.

3 In the diets studied, the content of highly unsaturated acids of the depot fat was always higher than that of the diet.

4 The highly unsaturated acids deposited were more unsaturated than those from the original menhaden oil.
