Abstract
Summary
(1) Ether extracted soybean oil meal has been found to contain sufficient residual dienoic acids to account for the previously observed increased carcass fat dienoic acids of animals that ingest the meal. (2) Studies were conducted, with mice, on the carcass-fat levels of dienoic acids obtained as the dietary-dienoic-acid levels varied from 0 to 1.6%. Between the dietary levels of 0.1% and 0.8% dienoic acids, a curvilinear response curve was obtained and became linear when the logarithm of dietary intake was plotted against the logarithm of carcass fat level. At a dietary level of 1.6% dienoic acids, a disproportionately higher dienoic acid level was found in the carcass fat.
