Effects of Nutrition on the Composition of Tooth Lipids and Fatty Acids in Rats: I. The Effect of Dietary Carbohydrate on Fatty Acid Composition of Rat Teeth
The fatty acid composition of rat molars and incisors was essentially the same whether starch or sucrose was the dietary carbohydrate. A slight increase in palmitic acid and decrease in unsaturated fatty acids was noted in the rats fed starch as compared with those fed sucrose.
