Abstract
Absorption of <sup>14</sup>C-oleic acid and <sup>14</sup>C-triolein was measured in newborn young of guinea pigs which had been adequately nourished or deprived of protein in the last half of pregnancy. The young of protein-deprived dams absorbed significantly greater amounts of both substances on the basis of amount per gram of intestinal tissue per minute or per gram of body weight per minute. In animals in the deficient group, villi of the jejunum were longer, narrower, and more numerous than in the controls, providing a morphological basis for some of the observed increase.
