title: [Lipid profile in low birth weight neonates, small for gestational age].
abstract: Serum triglycerides, cholesterol, lipoproteins and fatty acids has been determined in 11 normal infants (RN) and 20 small for date newborn infants (SFD) at birth, before feeding, and at one week of life. All infants were bed with a milk formula (Maseda adaptado ) according with ESPGAN recommendations. Serum triglycerides are significantly increased in SFD after one week of feeding (p less than 0.01). Serum cholesterol in SFD show no differences in relation to normal infants. VLDL are significantly increased in SFD ab birth (p less than 0.01) reaching normal values after one week of feeding. After delivery SFD infants show a low serum level of linoleate (C18:2 omega 6) (p less than 0.05), linolenate (C18:3 omega 3) (p less than 0.02) and eicosadienoate (C20:2 omega 6) (p less than 0.02). No differences are observed in arachidonate (C20:4 omega 6). At one week after feeding no differences are observed in serum fatty acids between SFD and normal infants.
