The results show that neither age nor linoleic acid intake change plasma glucose content. Increased contents of free fatty acids (FFA), beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and insulin in 30-day animals - compared to 10 days old ones - correspond to some extent to changes in the physiological condition of lambs during the first month of their growth. Linoleic acid intake induces depressing growth of animals in that period, decrease of FFA and BHB, accompanied by characteristic changes in fatty acid composition of plasma FFA and pancreatic phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Increased incorporation of linoleic acid in the composition of studied lipids corresponds to its high content in diet. Changed fatty acid composition of pancreatic phospholipids is probably connected with increased insulin secretion in those animals.
