Figure 2

The effect of oleic (OA) and palmitoleic acid (POA) on NEFA concentrations (a) and fatty acid profile in circulating NEFA (b) in hereditary hypertriglyceridemic (HHTg) rats. Data are expressed as ; for each experimental group. Differences were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and LSD-Fisher’s post hoc test. denotes significance reflecting the effect of POA vs. C; # denotes significance reflecting the effect of OA vs. C; , , , and #. MA: myristic acid; PA: palmitic acid; POA: palmitoleic acid; SA: stearic acid; OA: oleic acid; LA: linoleic acid; DHGLA: dihomo-γ-linoleic acid; AA: arachidonic acid; n3-PUFA: n3-polyunsaturated fatty acid; αLA: α-linoleic acid; EPA: eicosapentaenoic acid; DPA: docosapentaenoic acid; DHA: docosahexaenoic acid.
