Melting point in human fats varied between 41° C and 0.5°C. The largest variations in the individual person was about 30° C.

The melting point of visceral fat was 30° C–35° C. In the more peripheric parts the melting points were lower. At the foot melting points of from 0° C–10° C were often found, in 11 out of 15 persons the melting point was below 10° C.

Measurements of the temperatures at men's feet show that low temperatures often occur. Since HENRIQUES experimentally demonstrated the connection between temperature and the melting point in subcutaneous fat, it can be supposed that the temperature at men's feet influence the melting point of the fat.

One single person was examined in whom the results were widely different from the others. He was a sea stoker, exposed to high temperatures in his daily work, and all the melting points observed in this man were extremely high.
