Essential fatty acid deficiency in well nourished young cystic fibrosis patients.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:Essential fatty acid deficiency is well known in cystic fibrosis patients, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. It might be related to protein-energy malnutrition which is a common feature of cystic fibrosis or to some specific defects in fatty acid metabolism. To avoid the deleterious effects of protein-energy malnutrition, this study assesses the plasma phospholipid fatty acid pattern in well nourished young cystic fibrosis subjects. Sixteen cystic fibrosis subjects aged 6.6-20.0 years were studied and compared to 16 healthy controls matched for gender, age and nutritional status. Plasma phospholipids were separated by thin layer chromatography and phospholipid fatty acid pattern was determined by gas liquid chromatography. Anthropometry and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry showed that lean body mass, fat-free mass and fat mass were similar in the two groups. Nutritional inquiry showed higher ingestion of macronutrients by cystic fibrosis subjects than by controls. Plasma phospholipid palmitoleic acid and eicosatrienoic acid were higher, and by contrast linoleic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were lower in cystic fibrosis subjects than in controls. The ratio linoleic acid/arachidonic acid was lower and the ratio eicosatrienoic acid/arachidonic acid was higher in cystic fibrosis subjects than in controls. CONCLUSION:Essential fatty acid deficiency is present in young cystic fibrosis subjects in the absence of protein-energy malnutrition. It means that this deficiency is probably related to specific defects in fatty acid metabolism.
