Liver triglyceride synthesis activity for the different diets resolved into rates of triglyceride glycerol synthesis (GLY) and rates of fatty acids synthesis (DNL) with elongation (EL) and desaturation (DS) rates. Lipid synthesis activity is expressed on the left-hand side as fractional synthetic rates (FSR) with GLY as a percentage of all triglyceride, DNL and EL as a percent of all non-essential fatty acids, and DS as a percentage of all monounsaturated fatty acids. On the right-hand side, lipid synthesis activity is expressed as the product of FSR and total liver triglyceride concentrations for GLY; FSR and concentrations of non-essential fatty acids (FANE) for DNL and EL, and FSR and concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids (FAMU) for DS. Data are shown as means accompanied by standard deviations in parentheses. For each parameter column, significant differences in values between the four diets are denoted by different superscript letters.
