Abstract: | Representative cottonseed salad oils, corn oils, lards and hydrogenated vegetable shortenings, and portions of the same fats
heated at 182 C for 120 hr were fed as 20% of nutritionally adequate diets to weanling albino rats in longevity studies. Differences
in the responses of rats fed diets containing the unheated and heated fats were generally small with respect to rates of gain,
12 th week and adult weights, efficiencies of utilization of absorbed energy, incidences of grossly detectable diseases and
longevities. There were no indications that the feeding of the heated fats had shortened survival times in comparison with
the comparable unheated fat. Animals fed hydrogenated vegetable shortening, heated or unheated, survived the longest. However,
gains were slightly slower with the heated cotton-seed oil diets, and food efficiencies were slightly lower with the heated
cottonseed oil and heated lard diets because of decreased digestibilities of these fats. The usual disabilities of old age
such as nephritis, respiratory disease and periarteritis were present in all groups. The incidence of mammary tumors was high
but did not differ significantly with the kind of fat, heaated or unheated. Tumor incidence other than mammary was similar
in both sexes and there was no significant difference between fresh and heated fats. Absence of adverse effects attributable
to the heated fats during the life span of the rats in further evidence of the safety of these fats of the quality customarily
consumed by the human population. |
