AB  - While human milk contains considerable amounts of long-chain polyunsaturated 
      fatty acids (LCP), most formulae contain only the precursors of LCP synthesis 
      (linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids) but are devoid of preformed dietary LCP such 
      as are arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids. LCP contents in plasma 
      phospholipids (PL), triglycerides (TG) and sterol esters (STE) were measured by 
      high resolution capillary gas-liquid chromatography in healthy, term infants fed 
      human milk of formula. Percentage contributions of the precursor fatty acids were 
      similar or higher in plasma lipids in formula fed than in breast-fed infants, 
      meanwhile values of the intermediary metabolites of LCP synthesis did not differ 
      between the two groups. Percentage contributions of arachidonic acid were higher 
      in breast-fed than in formula fed infants at the ages of 2 weeks (PL: 9.39 +/- 
      1.00 vs. 6.91 +/- 0.38, TG: 0.61 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.41 +/- 0.05, %weight/weight, mean 
      +/- SEM), 1 month (PL: 9.06 +/- 1.04 vs. 6.16 +/- 0.35, TG: 0.62 +/- 0.10 vs. 
      0.32 +/- 0.04, STE: 4.50 +/- 0.45 vs. 2.84 +/- 0.39) and 2 months (PL: 8.41 +/- 
      1.19 vs. 5.74 +/- 0.37). Similarly, docosahexaenoic acid values were at the ages 
      of 1 month (PL: 1.94 +/- 0.21 vs. 1.19 +/- 0.21, TG: 0.12 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.04 +/- 
      0.02) and 2 months (PL: 2.02 +/- 0.36 vs. 0.99 +/- 0.07) significantly higher in 
      breast-fed infants than in those receiving formula.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250
