1. Fatty acid composition of beef tallow, soybean oil, and coconut oil and weight of mice fed diets containing those fats.
Fatty acid composition of beef tallow, soybean oil, and coconut oil and weight of mice fed diets containing those fats. (A) Fatty acid composition data from the USDA Nutritional Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (release 27, (B) Mice fed a high-fat diet containing coconut oil, beef tallow, or soybean oil (18% by weight) or a standard diet (AIN-93G) were inoculated with C. albicans by oral gavage on day 0 (n = 8 to 12 mice per diet; mice from Fig. 2). Mice were weighed periodically throughout the experiment and were sacrificed 21 days postinoculation. (C) Mice fed a high-fat diet containing either coconut oil or beef tallow (30% by weight), a high-fat diet containing both (12% coconut oil and 18% beef tallow), or a standard diet (AIN-93G) were inoculated with C. albicans by oral gavage on day 0 (n = 8 to 12 mice per diet; mice from Fig. 4). Mice were weighed periodically throughout the experiment and were sacrificed 21 days postinoculation.
