Effect of maternal dietary fatty acid (FA) intake in lactating mice on milk FA composition: correlations between linoleic acid:α-linolenic acid ratio (LA:ALA) (a); long-chain PUFA (LCP) n-6:n-3 ratio (b); and total n-6:n-3 ratio (c) in milk at postnatal day (PN) 7–9 compared with dietary ratios of dams fed a control (○), medium-chain FA (MCFA) (Δ), n-3 LCP (▲), n-3 LCP/MCFA (█) or low-LA (☐) diet between PN2 and PN28. Concentrations are represented as wt% of total FA. Values are means (n 5 for all groups), with standard errors represented by vertical bars.
