Postnatal multiple micronutrient deficiencies alter non-esterified free fatty acids (NEFA). (A–J) Significantly lower amount of free fatty acid found in serum of low micronutrient mice γ-linolenic, dihimo γ-linoleic acid, palmitoleic, palmitic, eicosapentaenoic, myristic/tetra, behenic, nervonic, and docosapentaenoic (clupanodonic) acids and lignoceric acid. Data represents 6 mice per group and the mean value represented as ± SEM. All data were analyzed using Student’s t-test and values represented as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, ns, not significant p > 0.05.
