Abstract
Summary
Adult sows were fed a purified diet and in alternate 3-week periods were fed the diet either with a low fat or a high fat (40% of calories) content. In the high fat periods hydrogenated fats were compared with natural plant fat mixtures designed to have the same fatty acid composition. The difference in the fats studied was in their content of isomerized fatty acids. Also triolein was compared with trielaidin. The hydrogenated fats gave the same serum cholesterol response as their corresponding natural plant fat mixtures. Trielaidin gave a lower (P<0.05) serum cholesterol response than triolein.
