The Nutrition of the Mouse

XI. Response of Four Strains to Diets Differing in Fat Content1

Two Figures

1. Increasing the fat content of the diet increased the weight gain of C3H and A strain mice but not of C57 and I strain animals.
2. Efficiency of food utilization for body weight gain increased with increasing dietary fat levels.
3. Transferring mature animals from a commercial stock ration to a highly purified diet caused least disturbance in body weight if the synthetic diet was of the high-fat type.
