Abstract

Rats, receiving soybean oil in their rations in a proportion of 15%, did not show thyroid lesions after observation periods of 7 and 10 months. Histological examinations of the above mentioned animal's thyroids were made and compared with those of check animals that received identical feeding, but without soybean oil.
