Figure 3. Comparable OXLAM reductions in the two LA lowering intervention groups.

Figure 3

There were no between-group differences in the median reductions in HODEs, oxo-ODEs or total OXLAMs, indicating that the observed changes were primarily due to the decrease in dietary LA rather than the n-3 fatty acids provided only to Group 2. Data for the combined groups are presented in subsequent tables and figures. The box-whisker plot is represented with the lower boundary of the box indicating the 25th percentile, the line within the box indicating the median value, and the upper boundary indicating the 75th percentile. The whiskers extend to the non-outlier range. P values represent between group comparisons using a Mann Whitney U test. Abbreviations: HODE: hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid; oxo-ODE: oxo-octadecadienoic acid; OXLAM: oxidized linoleic acid metabolite.
