TI  - [Effect of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on arachidonate and 
      docosahexaeonic acid in healthy infants in the first four months of life].
PG  - 2089-92
AB  - Fatty acid compositions of plasma phospholipids (PL), triglycerides (TG) and 
      sterol esters (STE) were measured by high resolution capillary gas-liquid 
      chromatography in formula fed healthy infants at the ages of 5 days and 1, 2, 3 
      and 4 months. The infants were randomly assigned to receive either conventional 
      infant formula (F, n = 10) without long-chain polyunsaturates (LCP) or the same 
      formula supplemented with LCP (LCP-F, n = 12) in amounts and ratios similar to 
      those characteristic to human milk. From the age of 1 month onwards, percentage 
      contributions of the principal omega-6 LCP, arachidonic acid were significantly 
      higher in plasma lipids of infants fed LCP-F than in those receiving conventional 
      formula without dietary LCP. Values of the principal omega-3 LCP, docosahexaenoic 
      acid were also significantly lower in the infants fed conventional formula than 
      in those receiving LCP-F throughout the study. The data obtained indicate that 
      from the formula supplemented with LCP both arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids 
      were effectively absorbed and incorporated into infantile plasma lipids. Recent 
      data of the literature suggest that supplementation of infant formula with LCP 
      may beneficially influence visual and psychomotor development also in healthy, 
      term infants.
