Fatty acid composition expressed as percentage of total fatty acids. ω9-MUFA, high-oleic sunflower oil; ω3-PUFA, fish oil; LA, linoleic acid; ALA, α-linolenic acid; AA, arachidonic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid. The sum of listed components is less than the totals indicated here, since not all components were analyzed.
