See footnote 1 of Table 2. Values are means ± SD, . Labeled means in a row without a common letter differ by 1-factor ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple-comparison test, . Bifactorial ANOVA of the LZ-CB, HZ-CBR, LZ-SF, and HZ-SFR diet groups. 1-factor ANOVA after logarithmic transformation of the data. Bifactorial ANOVA after logarithmic transformation of the data. Contain 20:1n-9 and 22:1n-9 (the latter in SF groups only). Contain 20:2n-6 and 20:3n-6 in SF groups. Total Δ6 desaturation products (mol per 100 mol PUFAs) contain 18:3n-6, 20:3n-6, 20:4n-6, 22:4n-6, 22:5n-3, and 22:6n-3. SFAs, saturated fatty acids; MUFAs, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids; UI, relative unsaturation index. |
