Fatty acid composition was measured by gas chromatography. Fatty acid profile is shown for chow and high-fat diets where the lipid components are comprised of 12% safflower oil and 88% lard or fish oil and lard at ratios of 10:90, 50:50 and 90:10. Lipid-derived energy contents are 8% and 45% in chow and high-fat diets respectively. Data shown as percentage of total fatty acids.
