[The fatty acid composition of plasma lipids in postmenopausal women].
Two hundred and three postmenopausal females were examined. Pronounced changes were established to occur in the fatty acid composition of plasma lipids with elevated levels of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, reduced content of linoleate and alpha-linolenoate, and a significant increase in the concentrations of arachidonic and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acids. The content of individual fatty acids was found to vary with the type (natural or surgical) of menopause and to be also associated with the major parameters of 24-hour blood pressure profile and intracardiac hemodynamics.
