Sadly there is no disease associated with the protein. It's not the logic approach problem/disease first and then search for the molecular mechanism/protein responsible for it. It's like get an unknown protein first and then assign it a disease. Not my thinking BTW ... Cancer is one disease the protein may be involved in. If safflower oil can induce cancer in mice I will go for it. But don't you think something with more Omega-3 like flax seed oil would be better in producing more lipid peroxides? On the other hand mice are used to feed on seeds so they may tolerate certain level of dietary PUFAs. Another merit of the coconut oil control would be to see how dramatic the effects of EFAD really are. But to follow the scientific method the hydrogenated coconut oil should be probably used to avoid any speculations about the contributions of PUFA traces (2% Omega-6 in coconut oil). Also olive oil has an overwhelming 10% Omega-6.
