Abstract
ConclusionFrom the data at hand it would seem that the highly unsaturated fatty acids of cod liver oil can be used by fat deficient rats for growth, but that their scaly skin is cured only by linolic and linolenic acids, which, apparently are lacking in cod liver oil.It may prove possible to isolate a fat which will cure the skin without producing growth, as indicated by Sinclair's experience.The fat deficiency may therefore resolve itself into 2 factors. It so happens that linolic and linoienic acids seem to relieve both growth and skin abnormalities. The relative values of several fatty acids in the prevention of the above symptoms as well as kidney degeneration is being included in our present studies.
