Abstract
We measured the intakes of total fatty acids, non-saponifiable lipids and cholesterol by 28 female students for 3 days (84 meals), and the figures were 30.0, 2.3 and 0.26g/day, respectively. One group (51 meals) which took eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids (intake group) showed higher intakes of non-saponifiable lipids and cholesterol than another group (33 meals) which did not take EPA and DHA (non-intake group). There was no difference in the intake of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids between the two groups. However, the amounts of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for the intake and non-intake groups were 1.3 and 0.8 g/day, respectively. The amount of α-linoleic acid was about 0.8 g/day in both groups. The sum of EPA and DHA in the intake group was0.4g/day. The ratios of n-6/n-3 in the intake and non-intake groups were 5.0 and 8.4, respectively. The ratios of P/S in the intake and non-intake groups were 0.83 and 0.68, respectively.
