Means ± SEM are shown for each group (n=4) and are represented as micrograms of fatty acid methyl ester per gram of tissue. Significant differences among groups (P<0.05) are denoted by different superscripts. Conversely, if the superscript is the same between two or more groups then there was no statistically significant difference among those groups
