Abstract
Summary
The rate of absorption of corn oil (Mazola), olive oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil (Crisco) and mutton tallow is not significantly changed from the normal by adrenalectomy. The absorption of hydrogenated vegetable oil fed as an emulsion with skim milk is significantly decreased following this operative procedure. Evidence for certain changes in fat absorbing mechanisms that are brought about by removal of the adrenals is presented, and it is pointed out that these changes need not result in an altered rate of absorption.
