Abstract:SummaryThe dietary intake of essential fatty acids is reflected by the plasma lipid composition. Only scanty data is available on the pattern of plasma fatty acids in young children and the influence of different environments. We analyzed the fatty acid composition of plasma sterolesters, triglycerides, and phospholipids in well‐nourished‐appearing children from Benin City, Nigeria (n = 8; aged 14.1 ± 7.2 months) and Düsseldorf, FRG (n = 17; aged 15.2 ± 5.1 months). The Nigerian group tended to have bigger pro… Show more
