Western feeding induces a dramatic decrease in myocardial unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio. Myocardial palmitoleoyl-CoA–to–palmitoyl-CoA ratio (16:1)/(16:0) (A), oleoyl-CoA–to–stearoyl-CoA ratio (18:1)/(18:0) (B), and total unsaturated-to-saturated long-chain acyl-CoA species ratio (C) are given for rats fed either low-fat/high-carbohydrate diet (HCD; open bars), high-fat diet (HFD; hatched bars), or Western diet (WD; black bars) for short term (ST), intermediate term (IT), or long term (LT). Data are means ± SE of n = 13–17 animals per group per time point. * = P < 0.05; ** = P < 0.01 vs. HCD at same age; # = P < 0.05 vs. WD at same age; $ = P < 0.05; $$ = P < 0.01 vs. HFD at same age; a = P < 0.05 vs. short term.
