Total Fat Intake Modifies Plasma Fatty Acid Composition in Humans'

ABSTRACT Plasma fatty acid composition reflects dietary fatty acids. Whether the total fat content of the diet alters the fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipid, cholesteryl ester, triacylglycerol and free fatty acids is unknown.
