The fatty acid (FA) composition of the main plasma lipids was analysed in eight well-nourished, generally healthy Nigerian children aged 14.1 + 7.2 months and in 17 malnourished children (8 marasmus, 9 kwashiorkor) aged 14.6 \_+ 3.8 mouths within the first 2 days of admission at the Dept. of Child H
