[Level of double bonds in lipids in human plasma and erythrocytes]

The unsaturation of plasma and red blood cell lipids and their total content of blood were determined in 212 donors. There was a significant individual variability of double binds in human blood lipids. A correlation was found between the magnitude of lipid unsaturation and the total blood lipid levels. The levels of double binds and total lipids did not depend upon the donors' sex and age. There were seasonal variations in the levels of double binds and lipid in plasma and red blood cells.
