The effects of fats of different origin (butter, sunflower oil, butter margarine) on the acid-base equilibrium (ABE) were studied in young and old animals (white male rats). The shifts developing within the ABE system were determined by the nature of the fat and the animals' age. Intake of butter and margarine entailed the development of acidosis which was more demonstrable in old animals whereas vegetable oil did not produce any appreciable effect. A close relationship was discovered between acidosis in the ABE system and lipidemia as well as the fatty acid composition of the fats under study. |
