No differences were found in the composition of rats which had received diets of mineralized skimmed milk powder and vitamin supplements together with butter or margarine fat, corn, cottonseed, olive, peanut or soybean oils over a 12-week period. However, it was noted that male rats have a slightly higher water and protein content and a lower lipid, ash and calcium content than the females.

1 This work was carried out under a research grant from The Best Foods, Inc. The authors wish to acknowledge the helpful advice of Prof. Anton J. Carlson of the University of Chicago, of Prof. Arthur W. Thomas of Columbia University and of Dr. H. W. Vahlteich of The Best Foods, Inc. during the course of the experiments.
