Fat absorption in essential fatty acid deficiency: a model experimental approach to studies of the mechanism of fat malabsorption of unknown etiology

Male rats were made deficient in essential fatty acids by feeding them a fat-free diet supplemented with 4% tripalmitin for 8–12 wk from the time of weaning.
