充足的长链多不饱和脂肪酸（LCPUFA）摄入量在胎儿和婴儿时期至关重要。我们量化了来自马拉维南部6个月大婴儿（n=412）的母乳（n=718）和血浆的脂肪酸含量，以及来自马拉维湖的小鱼干（n=3）。与全球标准相比，马拉维母乳脂肪酸含量（占总脂肪酸的百分比）远高于花生四烯酸[ARA]（0.69%对0.47%）和二十二碳六烯酸[DHA]（0.73%对0.32%）的平均水平。马拉维婴儿血浆中ARA（7.5%）和DHA（3.8%）的平均水平与母乳中脂肪酸含量相似的婴儿相当。由3盎司（85克）份的干usipa（分别为1439、659和360）提供的DHA、EPA和ARA的量（mg）明显高于干鲑鱼。Usipa可能是该地区人群LCPUFA的重要来源。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Adequate long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) intake is critical during the fetal and infant periods. We quantified fatty acid content of breast milk (n=718) and plasma from six month old infants (n=412) in southern Malawi, and in usipa (n=3), a small dried fish from Lake Malawi. Compared to global norms, Malawian breast milk fatty acid content (% of total fatty acids) was well above average levels of arachidonic acid [ARA] (0.69% vs. 0.47%) and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA] (0.73% vs. 0.32%). Average Malawian infant plasma ARA (7.5%) and DHA (3.8%) levels were comparable to those reported in infants consuming breast milk with similar fatty acid content. The amounts (mg) of DHA, EPA and ARA provided by a 3 oz (85 g) portion of dried usipa (1439, 659 and 360, respectively) are considerably higher than those for dried salmon. Usipa may be an important source of LCPUFA for populations in this region. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
