  • Title: Linoleate and fatty-acid patterns of serum lipids in multiple sclerosis and other diseases.
    Author: Love WC, Cashell A, Reynolds M, Callaghan N.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1974 Jul 06; 3(5922):18-21. PubMed ID: 4835464.
    Abstract:
    The linoleic acid content of serum lipids was measured in 47 patients with multiple sclerosis, 29 patients with other neurological diseases, 35 patients with acute non-neurological illnesses, and 49 healthy control subjects. Reduced linoleic acid content of serum lipids was not specific to multiple sclerosis and occurred in all ill patients with acute non-neurological illness. The fatty-acid pattern of serum lipids in illness resembles that of essential fatty-acid deficiency. It seems that this pattern of reduced linoleic acid content with increased oleic, palmitic, and palmitoleic acid content may be a general phenomenon in ill patients.
