Abstract
Ether extracted soybean oil meal contained sufficient residual dienoic acids to account for the previously observed (Jour. Nutrit. 54: 49. 1954) increased carcass fat dienoic acids of animals that ingest the meal. 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 log of dietary intake was plotted against log 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.
