Table 3

Saturated fatty acid composition of phospholipid (PL), triacylglycerol (TAG), and at sn-2 monoglycerol (sn2) and sn1/3 of fat from the subcutaneous (SQ) fat of beef steers fed dietary oil composed of an equal mixture of flax oil and sunflower oil at 5% of diet and in one of no feed withdrawal (No FW), single feed withdrawal (FW × 1), and feed withdrawal every 8 wk (FW × 4) for 48 h treatments.
