Relationship between Fecal Content of Fatty Acids and Cyclooxygenase mRNA Expression and Fatty Acid Composition in Duodenal Biopsies, Serum Lipoproteins, and Dietary Fat in Colectomized Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Patients

Figure 1

The scatterplot shows the ratios of palmitoleic acid/palmitic acid in feces samples and the levels of cycooxygenase-2 expression in duodenal biopsies (ileostomy group, 𝑛=12: 𝑟=0.8, 𝑃=.003; ileal-pouch-anal anastomosis group, 𝑛=16: 𝑟=−0.2, 𝑃=.5).
