The concentration of total cholesterol, total phospholipids, triglycerides (TG) and free fatty acids (FFA) in plasma and platelets has been evaluated in 11 healthy male subjects. The distribution of the different fatty acids in FFA and TG from the two compartments was measured. All subjects had plasma lipid concentrations within the normal limits. No significant correlation could be established between the concentrations of any of the main lipid fractions in plasma and platelets. A highly significant correlation was found between FFA stearic acid in plasma and platelets, and a correlation was also established for palmitoleic and oleic acids, whereas a non‐significant correlation was found for FFA palmitic acid. No correlation could be established for FFA polyunsaturated fatty acids or for triglyceride fatty acids.
