Abstract
A definite inhibition in the absorption of both hydrogenated cottonseed and corn oils was noted in adrenalectomized rats. Furthermore, larger amts. of fatty acids accumulated in the intestines of such animals as contrasted with the normal. This would indicate that the. adrenal glands play a role in the absorption of the longer chain fatty acids. However, the absorption of tributyrin and of Na butyrate was unaffected by adrenalectomy, which suggests that the absorption of the water soluble fatty acids is probably not dependent on adrenal activity.
