The rats had been fed 60% of their totally energy as lard, with much of the rest being soybean oil. I would guess that they had a DHA deficiency, which inhibits glucose flux in the brain. You only need a little α-linoleic acid for this, amounts so low they're nearly impossible to avoid unless you're a laboratory rat being fed a diet engineered to exclude it. Lard does have stearic acid and this can be a membrane lipid; although this is the fatty acid most consistently found protective in cancer, the shorter chains of coconut oil would be more pro-metabolic.
