Table 3. Correlation values of linoleic acid (LA) and its downstream metabolites based on six time points for the 12 subjects in the study.
Subject | 9(S)-HODE vs LA | 9,10-DiHOME vs LA | 13(S)-HODE vs LA |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 0.61 | 0.51 | 0.65 |
2 | 0.92 | 0.85 | 0.91 |
3 | 0.60 | 0.55 | 0.61 |
4 | 0.81 | 0.86 | 0.83 |
5 | 0.64 | 0.58 | 0.65 |
6 | 0.93 | 0.73 | 0.87 |
7 | 0.78 | 0.53 | 0.72 |
8 | 0.75 | 0.63 | 0.81 |
9 | 0.85 | 0.89 | 0.89 |
10 | 0.69 | 0.74 | 0.74 |
11 | 0.99 | 0.97 | 0.98 |
12 | 0.88 | 0.95 | 0.90 |
The pseudo-steady-state approximation implies that LA and its four downstream metabolites are correlated as given by Equation (6) in the text.
