Weight Gain 09/01/1991 - "Weight gain was surprisingly good since the meadowfoam oil diet was essential fatty acid-deficient. " 09/01/1991 - "Weight gain for mice fed the meadowfoam oil diet for 19 wk was similar to mice fed corn oil, and was higher than for mice fed hydrogenated cottonseed oil. " 09/01/1991 - "Since little information is available on the metabolism of the 5c-20:1 and 5c,13c-22:2 fatty acids, an exploratory study in mice was conducted to investigate the metabolism of purified samples of the free fatty acids isolated from meadowfoam oil, and to determine the effect of meadowfoam oil on weight gain and tissue lipid composition.
