Figure 2. Sesame oil consumption in men decreased plasma d₀-α and d₀-γ-CEHC concentrations.

Plasma d₀-α-CEHC (A) and d₀-γ-CEHC (B) concentrations (nmol/L, mean + SEM) from all samples from 3 to 72 h were averaged for each subject (n=5 men, 5 women) following ingestion of sesame oil (solid bar) or corn oil (hatched bar) muffins. Repeated measures MANOVA was performed using JMP Statistical Discovery Software (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) to evaluate effects attributed to oil type and to gender. Sesame oil consumption decreased plasma d₀-α-CEHC concentrations (interaction P < 0.01, only in men, P<0.05). There was a main effect of oil type on plasma d₀-γ-CEHC concentrations (P< 0.05).
