Biological action of oil manufactured from rice bran, of peanut oil and a mixture of lard and sun flower oil was studied and compared in experiments on rats. The test fat components of the diet contained similar amounts of linolic acid. With normal protein content in the diet all groups of the animals demonstrated the same intensity of the growth. With low protein content in the diet the oil from rice bran produced a more potent protein-saving action. The metabolization coefficient of essential fatty acids in platelet lipids served as the criterion for assurance of the synthesis of structural lipids. It is inferred that the oil manufactured from rice bran is an appropriate source of energy and supplies well enough the requirements of the body for fatty acids.
在大鼠实验中，对米糠油、花生油以及猪油与葵花籽油混合物的生物学作用进行了研究和比较。日粮中的试验脂肪成分含有相似量的亚油酸。当日粮中蛋白质含量正常时，所有动物组的生长强度相同。当日粮中蛋白质含量低时，米糠油产生了更强的节省蛋白质的作用。血小板脂质中必需脂肪酸的代谢系数作为保证结构脂质合成的标准。据推断，米糠油是一种合适的能量来源，能很好地满足机体对脂肪酸的需求。
