Fat Intake and Fatty Acid Profile in Plasma Phospholipids and Adipose Tissue in Patients With Crohn's Disease, Compared With Controls

Abstract

The aberrant fatty acid profile found in these CD patients is a result of altered metabolism rather than of essential fatty acid malabsorption. The reported findings may be important in the pathophysiology of CD and hence in the choice of fatty acids to be used when therapeutic supplementation is considered in CD patients.
