“…In adults such changes in response to an alteration in dietary fat occur slowly (Hirsch et al, 1960), but in periods of rapid weight gain, particularly in early infancy, changes in adipose-tissue composition can occur in a short time (Sweeney et al, 1963;Hashim and Asfour, 1968;Ballabriga et al, 1972). It therefore seemed likely that the composition of the body fat of Dutch infants might be different from that of British ones and we decided to see whether this was so.…”

SummaryThe fatty acids in the body fat of 41 British and 37 Dutch infants between birth and 1 year were determined. At birth linoleic acid contributed 1-3% of the total fatty acids of the body fat in infants in both countries. By one month its proportion in the fat of the Dutch infants was about 25% and by four months 32-37%; in the fat of the British infants it was never more than 3%. In the Dutch infants this large increase in the linoleic acid percentage was accompanied by a fall in the percentage contribution of others, particularly the saturated acids myristic, palmitic, and stearic. Infants born preterm showed changes in their fat after birth similar to those in fullterm infants.The difference between the composition of the fat of the infants in the two countries is attributed to the nature of the fat in the milk they received. Until recently most British infants who are not breast-fed have been given milks based on cow's milk with only minor modifications. For the past 10 years many Dutch infants have been given a milk in which all the cow's milk fat has been replaced by maize oil.Dutch infants also had a lower concentration of cholesterol in their serum than British infants, which was not unexpected. The results show that the triglycerides in the adipose tissue are profoundly influenced by the nature of the fat in the diet.

It may be divided into two pathogenic groups, an intrauterine form caused by a pulmonary infection occurring during intrauterine life, and an intrapartal form caused by infectious agents during delivery [51].…”

Several agents usually supposed from experiments done on adult animals and during extrauterine life to induce a ‘congenital pneumonia’, have been directly introduced into the amniotic cavity of rabbit fetuses and their effects studied after 72 hours. Human meconium, rabbit amniotic cellular debris, gastric juice or acidified amniotic fluid did not produce any granulocytic inflammatory reaction within the lungs or the fetal membranes. The injection of various types of bacteria revealed on microscopic examination an acute chorioamnionitis and usually also the peculiarities (intrapulmonary polymorphs and amniotic fluid cells; no fibrin; no septicemia) of an ‘intrauterine pneumonia’, resembling the congenital pneumonia’ of the human infant. The umbilical cord and other fetal mucous membranes disclosed no inflammatory lesions. These experiments argue in favour of an exclusive bacterial origin in the induction of an intrauterine pneumonia.
