Abstract
Groups of 25 pairs of two generations of male and female rats were fed diets containing 15% of either fresh hydrogenated soybean oil (iodine value, 107), a similar fat used 56 hr for deep frying or an unhydrogenated mixture of fats and oils with a fatty acid composition similar to the hydrogenated soybean oil. The first two litters of each generation were permitted to be born naturally. During the third pregnancy of each generation, one-half of the females were sacrificed on day 13 of gestation and inspected for early embryonic death. The remaining females were sacrificed on day 21 of gestation, and the fetuses were examined for either skeletal or softtissue abnormalities. There was no evidence of any deleterious effects on the reproductive parameters nor any teratogenic effects due to either hydrogenated soybean oil, a similar oil used for frying foods for 56 hr or an unhydrogenated mixture of fats and oils.
