Population III stars initiated the chemical enrichment of the Universe. Chemical evolution models seem to favour fast rotators among the very low-metallicity population. When a star rotates fast, it ejects significant quantities of He and its nucleosynthesic products are modified compared to the case without rotation. The value of ΔY/ΔO is explored from a theoretical point of view through stellar models of zero- or very low-metallicity.
