Abstract
In growing rats weighing between 70 and 300 g with 20% of the total daily energy intake consisting either of lard (with 36% oleic acid) or sunflowerseed oil (with 61% linoleic acid), lipogenesis, proteingenesis, feed efficiency ratio and body compositions are identical. With the nutritional conditions used during these experiments, the occurrence of a high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids level in the diet cannot be considered as an exogenous factor able to modify the parameters studied.
