    Abstract:
    The participation of essential fatty acids and their derivatives in the blood (serum) of physiological healthy neonates (physiological pregnancy, physiological delivery) is compared with the spectrum of essential fatty acids of risk newborns (prematurity, prematurity with the tocolytic therapy and hypotrophic newborns). In the following part the presence and participation of essential fatty acids in the human maternal milk were measured. The milk of healthy mothers, of mothers with preterm delivery (37 week of gestation), of diabetic mothers were mutually compared and finally the values of mentioned essential fatty acids in formula Feminar and in the milk from the bank were established. As a consequence of our observations, they point out the absence or serious deficit of some essential fatty acids in certain groups of risk newborns as well as in the milk of diabetic mothers, of mothers with preterm delivery and in Feminar and Milk-bank. The presented facts--after their opinion--could be well judged as a rational basis for adequate nutritional therapy in risk newborns.
