Figure 2.
(a) Fatty acid composition of cardiac phospholipids of (black bars) petrels (n=9 species) and (grey bars) fowl (n=4 species; from Szabo et al. 2006). (b) The relative rate of peroxidation of select fatty acids. Individual fatty acids identified as ‘acyl chain carbons: double bonds’. The values empirically determined by Holman (1954). (c) The average PI of cardiac phospholipids of (closed circle) petrels (n=9 species) and (open circle) fowl (n=4 species; after Szabo et al. 2006). All error bars are ±1 s.e.m. **Significant difference (p≤0.01) between petrels and fowl.
