| Popis: | The fatty acid composition of the stomach contents, adipose tissue, and perinephric fat of Polynesian rats (Rattus exulans Peale), from the Tokelau Is indicated that the dietary fat consisted mainly, if not exclusively, of coconut oil. Lower ratios of lauric : myristic acids were found in the depot fats of the Polynesian rats than in the dietary coconut oil. These results were consistent with chain elongation of lauric to myristic acid after ingestion, as previously reported in rats and other mammals. |
