Abstract
The effects of two diets containing a different source of fat were studied in control rats and animals from which 50 % of the distal small intestine was resected followed by implantation of a jejunal valve. The lipid tested were olive oil and butter. In spite of intestinal resection, the jejunal valve improved the digestive utilization of fat. In fact, resected and implanted animals given a diet containing olive oil showed higher values of this parameter than controls. Metabolic studies revealed a significant drop in serum cholesterol and triglycerides. This finding was attributed to the interruption in the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts, a necessary component of both compounds. No significant differences were recorded in serum levels of fatty acids, although a slight drop in palmitic acid levels was observed in rats fed a diet containing butter.
