Grms, 0 138 -99 Wliile, as we liave already learned, fat does not liinder the protein-consumption in the body but rather tends to increase it, when fed alone, the loss of fat is entirely stopped by a quantity equal to that lost in hunger. That is, an increased supply of fat does not, like an increase of albuminoids, augment the consumption, but takes the place of that before consumed, pound for pound. The simplest way of explaining this is by the assump- tion that the fat of the food is more easily oxidi/.ed than that already deposited in the body, and that the former therefore possesses itself of the oxygen of the blood and protects the latter from oxidation. A Gain of Pat may accompany a Loss of Flesh.— In another experiment, in which a large quantity (850 grammes daily) of fat was fed, the loss of flesh on the second day amounted to 227 granmies, and at the same time 186 grammes of fat were retained in the body. The same fact is shown by the second experiment on p. 172. § 3. Fbbdikg- with Protein Alone. Protein can protect the Fat of the Body from Oxi- dation.—The following experiments by Pettenkofer & Voit,f on a dog fed exclusively with meat, were made with the help of the respiration apparatus: ^^^^ ^^_ * Including that formed from protein. t Zeitsclirift f.
