To study the evolution of plasma fatty acid composition of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in relation to nutritional status, pancreatic function, and development of CF-related liver disease (CFRLD) and diabetes mellitus, 24 CF pediatric patients with stable pulmonary disease were studied before and after an approximate period of 8 y. Nutritional status, pulmonary function, pancreatic function, and presence of CFRLD or diabetes mellitus were recorded. Results were compared with data obtained in 83 healthy children.

Background: The fatty acid composition of membrane structural lipids, which is partly dependent on dietary intake, is associated with insulin action.
Aim: To examine the association between fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle phospholipids with insulin resistance markers in a healthy pediatric population.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, we studied 83 healthy children divided into 3 groups, ages 2 to 5, 6 to 10 and more than 10 years.
