The fatty acid composition of human milk in Europe and Africa.

TL;DR: The milk secretion of n-6 LCP does not appear to depend on maternal dietary intake of preformed LCP, and metabolic processes appear to be important in regulating human milk LCP.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The trientetraen-ratio (20∶3ω9/20∵4ω6) thus is not a reliable indicator of essential FA status in protein-energy malnutrition, and indicates the presence of essential fatty acid deficiency in the malnourished children.
Journal ArticleDOI
