Direct 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 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 کاملMechanisms of lipid malabsorption in Cystic Fibrosis: the impact of essential fatty acids deficiency
Transport mechanisms, whereby alimentary lipids are digested and packaged into small emulsion particles that enter intestinal cells to be translocated to the plasma in the form of chylomicrons, are impaired in cystic fibrosis. The purpose of this paper is to focus on defects that are related to intraluminal and intracellular events in this life-limiting genetic disorder. Specific evidence is pr...
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 ...
