The lipid metabolism and acetylating processes were studied in children with chronic nutritional disorders during their treatment. In dystrophic children significant shifts in lipid metabolism were recorded: the levels of chylomicronemia, phospholipids, total lipids decreased, while those of free fatty acids and total cholesterol increased. The coenzyme acetylating processes in the patients with nutritional disorders were also impaired. The management of dystrophic patients was attended by a progressive recovery of the lipid metabolism. The elucidation of the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders in dystrophic children would permit outlining the ways for their dietetic and drug correction.
