Abstrakt: Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) enrichment of preterm infant formulas is recommended to meet high demands. Dietary LC-PUFA may inhibit endogenous LC-PUFA synthesis, thus limiting their benefit. We investigated effects of different docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intakes on plasma and erythrocyte fatty acids and endogenous LC-PUFA synthesis in preterm infants.
