Why is canola oil used to conduct a system test? Can other fat be used as a test sample?

A. From our experience with testing many animals (including chemical analysis), we found that, on average, the amount of fat in mice and rats can be well represented by the amount of canola oil. EchoMRI measures the relaxation time of hydrogen in molecules of fat within the subject, and on average, canola oil has the same density of hydrogen as animal fat.
