• Mean values (followed in brackets by the standard deviation) within the same row with the same letter are not significantly different when a probability level of 0.05 is applied. All analyses were conducted in three replicates (n = 3).

• MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; SFA, saturated fatty acids; ω-3, omega-3 fatty acids; ω-6, omega-6 fatty acids.

• Wild Type (WT), Transgenic 2 to 9; (TGP-2 to TGP-9).

• NS, not significant p ≥ 0.05; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.

Numbers in the brackets reflect the degrees of freedom: F-value (dfbetween, dfwithin).

• ♣ Includes unidentified acids.
