The serum concentrations of theophylline, total free fatty acids (FFA) and subgroups were studied in ten healthy volunteers treated with sustained release theophylline twice daily during 9 days. Analyses were performed before and on day 1, 4 and 9 of treatment. Mean theophylline serum levels within the therapeutic range were obtained during the study, ranging from 62 +/- 7 to 82 +/- 10 mumol/l. The mean serum concentrations of total FFA and subgroups increased significantly during treatment, showing the highest levels on day 4. Comparing fasting total FFA concentrations, an increase of 123% and 48% from pretreatment levels were found on day 4 and 9, respectively. The subgroups were influenced to a different degree by theophylline intake. Arachidonic acid (20:4) was not increased, while among the others, saturated FFA increased less than the unsaturated.
