Data from Burr’s 1932 paper demonstrating that α-linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid. Methyl linolenate stimulated the growth of rats on a fat-free diet (right side), while methyl oleate did not (left side). Each line represents data taken from a single rat, and the time interval of each horizontal segment of the grid is 10 days. Reprinted with permission from (31).
