Abstract
Comparative studies on the intestinal mitochondria in either fasting or nonfasting young rats have been made earlier (1-3), and the differences in both polarization and morphology of mitochondria between fasting and control animals were noted. Also, evidence of mitochondrial mobilization and alterations was striking in the suckling rats after feeding a variety of nutrients such as water, saline, glucose, cow's milk, and corn oil. There has been no attempt to study the mitochondrial polarization and morphology in the intestinal epithelium of older rats during absorption of cod liver oil which has been highly recommended for studies on fat absorption (4).
