Objective: Fatty acid (FA) composition has a role in adipogenesis. The objective was to study serum phospholipid (PL) FAs in adolescents and their relation to abdominal adipose tissue (AT) compartments and metabolic markers. Research Methods and Procedures: Abdominal AT was measured by magnetic reso...
