Lipids 1996; 31:617-625. This study clearly demonstrates that LCPUFA study of healthy term infants is influenced not only by the dietary intake of preformed LCPUFA, but also by high formula contents of linolenic acid that seem to compete with incorporation of ω-3 into infantile lipids.

J Pediatr 1997; 130:110-116. In infants aged 7 months, milk contributes only approximately one-third of dietary energy but remains a major determinant of dietary fat quantity and quality, resulting in significantly lower serum LCPUFA levels in formula than in breast fed infants.

An assessment of the effects of complementary food intake on essential fatty acid status in breast and formula fed infants at the ages of 6 and 8 months, showing that even the relatively low content of arachidonic acid in solid foods contributes significantly to the total arachidonic acid pool of the recipient infant.

In this study, addition of cholesterol to infant formula not only increased plama cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, but also enhanced LCPUFA status.
