متن کاملDirect transesterification of plasma fatty acids for the diagnosis of essential fatty acid deficiency in cystic fibrosis.
This study was aimed at redefining criteria for essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency with the use of the direct transesterification procedure (1986. J. Lipid Res. 27: 114-120) and at determining whether a simple assay of total fatty acids (FA) is as predictive of EFA deficiency as the FA pattern from plasma, red cell, and platelet phospholipids. Fasting blood samples were taken from 163 cystic...
متن کاملFat Absorption in Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency*
The various gross symptoms of essential fatty acid deficiency in the rat are well recognized, but little is known about the metabolic features of this disease. The purpose of this investigation was to study the influence of fat deficiency on the rate of absorption and transport of fat through the intestinal mucosa. The scheme of fat labeling by the use of spectroscopically active methyl esters ...
متن کاملRelationship of decreased hepatic lipase activity and lipoprotein abnormalities to essential fatty acid deficiency in cystic fibrosis patients.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to affect plasma lipids and lipoproteins but there is no information on the effect of essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency on lipoprotein composition. The purpose of this study was to characterize lipoproteins from 17 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in relationship to their EFA status (eicosatrienoic/arachidonic acid ratio) and compare them with those of 10 ...
متن کاملParadoxical effects of essential fatty acid supplementation on lipid profiles and sweat electrolytes in cystic fibrosis.
Supplements of evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis), which contains at least 72% linoleic (18:2n-6) and 7% gamma-linolenic (18:3 n-6) acids (expressed as % fatty acid methyl esters) were given to sixteen cystic fibrosis patients for a period of 12 months. Clinical observations showed no significant changes in patients' weights or respiratory function throughout. Linoleic acid levels in plas...
