In three experiments rats were fed a purified basal diet with 20% by weight of partially hydrogenated rapeseed oil. One sample promoted, greater weight gains that the unhydrogenated oil. Another sample, containing a higher concentration of octadecadienoic acids other than 9,12‐linoleic acid, produced the same response as the unhydrogenated material. With other samples of hydrogenated rapeseed oil, possessing less linoleic acid but other octadecadienoic acids, significantly lower weight gains were obtained. The alterations in the C 18 fatty acids resulting from hydrogenation of rapeseed oil appeared to be responsible for differing responses in weight gain.
