The composition and incorporation of fatty acids (FA) in plasma and blood cells is the result
of distinct processes: intake, metabolism and peripheral utilization. Aim of the study: was to
compare the FA profile in plasma, lipoproteins and blood cells with that in whole blood (WB)
from healthy volunteers; to assess the quantitative distribution of selected FA in
triacylglycerols, cholesteryl esters and phospholipids. Lipid FA profiles are comparable in
plasma and lipoproteins but differ from those in blood cells. In WB, the FA profile results from …
