title: [Changes in linoleic and arachidonic acids in the immediate neonatal period].
abstract: Linoleic and arachidonic acids were studied in 18 healthy full term newborn infants during the neonatal period. A percentual decrease of arachidonic acid relative to blood umbilical cord values was observed at 24 hours of life. No changes in linoleic acid were observed. Physiologic implications are discussed.
