“For the tallow-based diets, increasing dietary Ca led to a decrease in stearic acid digestibility from 91% to 66% (P ≤ 0.01) and in palmitic acid digestibility from 96% to 83% (P ≤ 0.01).”
“ Ca++ enhanced the order of 5-doxyl stearic acid labeled MVM from mature and immature rats in a concentration-dependent saturable process, but Ca++ exerted a greater ordering effect on MVM from immature than MVM from the mature rat.”
“Bone ash and bone calcium level were reduced (P less than .01) in the presence of palmitic and stearic acid while oleic acid had no significant effect on these parameters.”
“Palmitic and stearic acid caused a significant increase in fecal soap formation and decrease in calcium retention.”
“ Abstract Calcium ions interact with stearic and palmitic acid monolayers producing a solid-condensed film which is rigid, has no measurable surface viscosity, and has a high solid-to-liquid transition temperature measured by the talc test.”
