Abstract
A histological study of the duodenum, ileum, rectum, liver, kidney, testis and bone marrow of weanling hamsters fed on a basal diet containing 5 or 15% polyoxyethylene monostearates (Sta-soft or Myrj) or lard was conducted. Marked changes were observed in the duodenum, ileum, liver, kidney, and testis of hamsters fed Myrj or Sta-soft after 2-10 weeks on expt. Histological changes observed in the small intestine, particularly the ileum, consisted of a severe erosion of the mucosa. Necrosis of the liver, decreased spermato-genetic activity of the testis, and tubular degeneration of the kidney were also abserved.Keywords
