Gestational Age Dependency of Essential Fatty Acids in Cord Plasma Cholesterol Esters and Triglycerides

Essential fatty acids and their long-chain polyunsaturated metabolites in maternal and cord plasma triglycerides during late gestation.

The fatty acid composition of plasma lipids was determined in 41 pairs of mothers and their term infants at time of birth (38-42 postmenstrual weeks) by high-resolution capillary gas-liquid chromatography. Linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids were found at smaller concentrations in cord than in maternal triglycerides, in contrast to strikingly higher proportions of their long-chain polyunsaturate...

Comparative Study of Cord Lipid Profile in Small for Gestational Age and Appropriate for Gestational Age Newborn

Background: This study was conducted to compare the cord blood lipid profile in term small for gestation (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) babies as determination of cord blood lipid profile is useful screening tool for early detection of babies at higher risk as atherosclerosis has its genesis in childhood. Methods: Study Design: Hospital based cross sectional study. Setting: ne...

Triglycerides , and Free Fatty Acids of Patients with Cystinosis and Oculocerebrorenal Syndrome Plasma Carnitine Cholesterol * Serum Free fatty Subjects Age Cr Free Total Total VLDL LDL HDL

11 children with either cystinosis or Lowe's syndrome had a reduced content of plasma and muscle carnitine due to renal Fanconi syndrome. After treatment with oral L-carnitine, 100 mg/kg per d divided every 6 h, plasma carnitine concentrations became normal in all subjects within 2 d. Initial plasma free fatty acid concentrations, inversely related to free carnitine concentrations, were reduced...

Fatty Acid Esterification and Chylomicron Formation during Fat Absorption. 1. Triglycerides and Cholesterol Esters.

Effects of dietary cholesterol and fatty acids on plasma lipoproteins.

The effects of dietary cholesterol and fatty acids on low density and high density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL) were studied in 20 young men. After 2-3 wk of evaluations on ad lib. diets, basal diets, which consisted of 15% protein, 45% carbohydrates, 40% fat, and 300 mg/day of cholesterol, were given for 4-5 wk (Basal). The ratio of dietary polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids (P/S) for diff...
