In an earlier paper Swank and Engel¹ showed that most hamsters fed large cream fat meals developed convulsions. The seizures first appeared about 3 hours after feeding. They were first focal. Later they became generalized. Many of the animals which developed generalized seizures did not survive. After feedings of equally large meals of vegetable oil, only an occasional focal, or no seizures were seen.

The purpose of this paper is to explore more completely the relationship of different triglycerides to the occurrence of the seizures and to report the changes in the electroencephalograms and in available cerebral oxygen which accompany the seizures.

Materials and Methods

Golden hamsters weighing 60 to 100 gm. were used as the experimental animal. Naturally occurring fats and oils and mixtures of synthetic and naturally occurring triglycerides were fed by stomach tube while the animals were under very light ether anesthesia.^* Electroencephalograms were made by . . .
