Values are least squares means ± pooled SEM.

^a,bMeans without a common superscript differ (P ≤ 0.05).

¹Parity group A = parity 1 and 2 (n = 8); parity group B = parity 3 and 4 (n = 6); parity group C = parity 5 and 6 (n = 6).

²n3 = omega-3 FA; n6 = omega-6 FA; n7 = omega-7 FA.

³Other FAs represent the sum of non-classified FAs and were not used for calculating saturated and unsaturated FA content in diet samples.
