INVESTIGATION OF THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITIONS OF SERUM CHOLESTERYL ESTERS IN THE POPULATIONS OF SOME DISTRICTS AND NATIONALITIES IN CHINA / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

Fatty acid compositions of cholesteryl esters in 113 male adults of 4 nationalities in 5 districts in China were analyzed. Fatty acid patterns of cholesteryl esters in different population groups were similar, though some variations were observed which seemed to be caused by the difference in diet. The correlations of serum cholesteryl ester fatty acids with the quality and quantity of dietary fat and with the serum lipid levels were discussed.
