FA composition was evaluated by gas chromatography. Data are presented as mean of three biological replicates ± SEM and analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tuckeypost-hoc test. For C14:1, C20:1, C20:5 n3 (EPA), C22:1 and C22:6, statistical analysis was performed with unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction. Different letters indicate significant differences among groups (P < 0.01)
