Fatty acid composition of normal-appearing and infiltrating ductal carcinoma tissue
Explants were cultured for 48 hours. Lipid extracts were prepared and analyzed by gas liquid chromatography for a comprehensive fatty acid profile. Values are expressed as means±SD of three independent determinations.
IDC=infiltrating ductal carcinoma; SFA=saturated fatty acids; MUFA=monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA=polyunsaturated fatty acids.
