Stearic aicd
Ingestion of large amounts may result in intestinal
obstruction.
Stearic aicd
Weanling mice fed diets containing 5-50% of thesubstance as the monoglyceride for 3 weeks had
depression of weight gain above the 10% dietary level.
Mortality occurred only with the 50% diet.
Another study reveals rats fed 5% stearic acid as part ofa high fat diet for 6 weeks, or 6% for 9 weeks, showed adecreased blood clotting time and hyperlipemia.
No significant pathological lesions were obserbed in rats
fed 3000 ppm (0.3%) of the substance for about 30
weeks, but anorexia, increased mortality, and greater
incidence of pulmonary infection were observed.
