Feeding of pig rations containing high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids either in fresh or oxidized condition was demonstrated to possess strongly ulcerogenic properties. The addition of amino acids or selenium, or the increase of dietary protein did not change the number of the lesions. Vitamin E seemed to produce a certain protective effect, but this appeared to be partial and slight. The mode of action of vitamin E in preventing gastric lesions is discussed.
