Effect of Dietary Polyunsaturated/Saturated Fatty Acid Ratio and Dietary Vitamin E on Lipid Peroxidation in the Rat

Cohort Study

Animal

1985 Nov

The study found that changing how much vitamin E or certain fats the baby rats ate didn’t change the appearance of their reproductive organs, meaning vitamin E didn’t affect their structure under these conditions.

When rats didn't get any vitamin E in their food, their bodies showed more signs of fat damage, no matter what kind of fats they ate.

Even when rats ate a lot more of the kind of fat that's more likely to go bad (polyunsaturated), their fat damage didn't go up as long as they got enough vitamin E.

Giving rats 40 IU of vitamin E per kg of food stopped almost all fat damage — giving them even more (100 IU) didn’t help any further.
