The Lack of a Correlation between the Growth Response of the Fat-Depleted Rat to Essential Fatty Acids and the Tocopherol Content of the Diet

Abstract
No interrelationship between linoleate and tocopherol requirements could be demonstrated in either male or female rats, as indicated by the growth response of fat-depleted animals receiving a fat-free diet. These results indicate that α-tocopherol is not the limiting factor responsible for the sex differences in linoleate requirement reported earlier for the rat.
