Abstract
The relative fatty acid composition of lecithin was measured in maternal and cord blood serum in human pregnancies at risk for intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (n = 28) as compared to controls (n = 20). In the IUGR cases (n = 13) linoleic acid was lower in maternal samples but higher in cord blood, oleic acid was elevated in both whereas docosohexaenoic acid was lower. Essential fatty acid composition of lecithin was found to be different in IUGR.Keywords
