Table 5. Fatty acid composition (%) of CL from liver mitochondria of mice consuming a control diet (Control-Soy, n=6), or CR diets containing lard (CR-Lard, n=7) soya bean oil (CR-Soy, n=6) or fish oil (CR-Fish, n=4).

Values are percentages of total HUFA amount. Superscripts that do not share a common letter indicate a significant difference (P<0.05) between treatments. ND, not detected; SFA, saturated fatty acid.
