Fatty acid patterns [nmol/mg protein] and Methylene Bridge Index (MBI) in plasma membrane of RAW264.7 cultured for 72h in basic medium as well as in medium supplemented with 15 µmol/l alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), linoleic acid (LA), gamma-linolenic acid (γ-LNA) and arachidonic acid (AA) respectively. Data are mean±S.D. (n = 6). Superscript letters across a row denote significant differences.
