Abstract
Summary
It has been shown that the oral administration of non-lipoid foods, glycerol, sucrose, glucose and proteose-peptone exert no demonstrable effect on the serum esterase of rats. The administration of neutral fats, oleic and palmitic acids leads to a marked increase which lasts for several hours.
The authors gratefully acknowledge their great indebtedness to the John and Mary R. Markle Foundation for financial assistance in this research.
