12. A method for (i) blunting the peak of post-prandial fat absorption and/or plasma triglyceride levels, (ii) prolonging the post-prandial fat absorption and/or plasma triglyceride levels and/or (iii) spreading of post-prandial bioavailability of fat in an infant, the method comprising administering for at least one week to an infant in need thereof a daily dose of at least 80 ml of a nutritional composition comprising:
-
(a) a protein component, (b) a digestible carbohydrate component and (c) a lipid component comprising 10 to 50 wt. % vegetable lipids based on dry weight of the nutritional composition and 1.0 to 20 wt. % phospholipids based on total lipid, wherein the lipid component comprises lipid globules with a core comprising the vegetable lipids and a coating comprising the phospholipids. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for lowering the fasting level of plasma triglycerides and/or improving the fatty acid profile of cellular membranes in an infant, the method comprising administering for at least one week to an infant in need thereof a daily dose of at least 80 ml of a nutritional composition comprising:
-
(a) a protein component, (b) a digestible carbohydrate component and (c) a lipid component comprising 10 to 50 wt. % vegetable lipids based on dry weight of the nutritional composition and 1.0 to 20 wt. % phospholipids based on total lipid, wherein the lipid component comprises lipid globules with a core comprising the vegetable lipids and a coating comprising the phospholipids. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
