The fatty acid composition of the abdominal fat in hens was compared to the composition of the fat in the diet, the composition of the diets being otherwise identical. The proportion of fatty acids in the adipose tissue approximates that of the fat ingested. The findings, if applicable to man, suggest a method for estimating the dietary habits with regard to fat.

The hens consuming coconut oil had the highest serum cholesterol values. The amount of vascular sudanophilia was least in the group receiving safflower oil. Although it would appear that the kind of dietary fat influenced the serum cholesterol levels and the development of vascular sudanophilia, differences in production of eggs in this experiment limit the conclusions that can be drawn.
