Fatty acid patterns of breast milk of Egyptian mothers from the city and the village.
The fatty acid pattern of 25 human milk collected from lactating Egyptian mothers living under rural and urban conditions are reported in the present work. The fatty acid pattern is quite similar among the two different groups, except for the absence of the essential linolenic fatty acid among those from the city. Tabulation and comparison with literature data were presented and the differences were discussed.
