Popis: Peanut, sesame and coconut oils were heated at 270C for 8 hr, in an open iron pan. These fats were fed to albino rats at 15% level in otherwise adequate diets. All rats fed heated fats showed a growth depression. Livers of rats receiving heated oil were congested and showed extensive periportal fatty infiltration. Rats on heated peanut oil showed i) reduced B-vitamin storage in the liver, ii) increased glucose and cholesterol levels in the blood and iii) a disruption in the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
