Least Squares Means of fatty acid values and standard error (SE) for the genotypic classes based on the individual polymorphisms of the LIPE gene and test for dominance effect. n: number of samples, MUFA: monounsaturated fatty acids content, C18:1c9: oleic acid content, C21:0: Heneicosylic acid content. N: sample size.

1
In the same row, least square means with different letters are significantly different according to Bonferroni's means separation test (p < 0.05).
2
Estimated by subtracting the average of solutions for homozygous genotypes from that for heterozygous genotype.
3
Estimated by the difference between the two homozygous genotypes.
