n-6 fatty acid metabolism in the newborn infant: is linoleic acid sufficient to meet the demand for arachidonic acid?
Two compartmental models were developed to assess the contributions of linoleic acid, 18:2n-6, and di-homo-g-linoelic acid, 20:3n-6, toward maintaining plasma homeostasis concentrations of arachidonic acid, 20:4n-6, in newborn infants. Ten infants received oral doses of 13C-U-18:2n-6 and 2H5-20:3n-6...
