^aThe values are % abundance of each fatty acid to total fatty acids given as least squares mean ± SE for 130 individuals. Total fatty acid values and ratios are calculated. Mixed-effects repeated-measures analysis of variance with treatment, age, gender and the dietary phase as fixed effect, the last diet (sequence effect) as a random effect, and the measures for each subject by phases were used for the data analysis. Canola, conventional canola oil; CanolaOleic, high oleic canola oil; CanolaDHA, high oleic canola and DHA oil blend; FlaxSaff, flax and safflower oil blend; CornSaff, corn and safflower oil blend; SFA, saturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids. ^abcdeMean values with different superscript letters across rows denote significant differences at P < 0.05.
