Abstract
Six week old rats fed rapeseed oil and subjected to cold at 4 C had a higher mortality rate than those fed oils lacking or low in docosenoic acids. A high frequency of deaths coincided with the period of pronounced cardiac lipidosis. Rats which had passed this phase before being exposed to the cold survived as well as the control animals.
