BACKGROUND: Previously, the authors found significantly higher arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid values in plasma lipids in 2-month-old full-term infants fed human milk than in those receiving formula. This is the report of data obtained in full-term infants during the second half of the first year of life. METHODS: Healthy, full-term infants fed human milk (n = 12) or formula without preformed long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n = 12) were investigated. Fatty acid composition of plasma lipid classes was determined by high-resolution capillary gas-liquid chromatography. RESULTS: Linoleic acid acid values in plasma phospholipids (18.5 [3.94] vs. 20.79 [4.34]) and gamma-linolenic acid values in plasma cholesteryl esters (0.17 [0.09] vs. 0.27 [0.20]) and triacylglycerols (0.27 [0.18] vs. 0.46 [0.27]) were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in breast-fed infants than in those receiving formula. Data are percentage weight by weight shown as median (range from 1st to 3rd quartile) for breast-fed vs. formula fed infants, respectively. In contrast, arachidonic acid values in plasma phospholipids (10.05 [2.90] vs. 7.03 [1.87]; P < 0.01), cholesteryl esters (7.54 [3.58] vs. 4.09 [1.81]; P < 0.05), and triacylglycerols (1.28 [0.84] vs. 0.80 [0.39]; P < 0.05), as well as docosahexaenoic acid values in plasma phospholipids (1.92 [0.36] vs. 1.02 [0.31]; P < 0.001), cholesteryl esters (0.39 [0.13] vs. 0.15 [0.13]; P < 0.001), and triacylglycerols (0.17 [0.17] vs. 0.09 [0.04]; P < 0.01) were significantly higher in infants fed human milk than in those receiving formula. CONCLUSION: Healthy, full-term infants fed formula without preformed dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are unable to match the arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid status of breast-fed infants even during the second half of the first year of life. |
