Table 4. Fatty acid intake of control and cafeteria-fed diet rats.

The data were calculated from the mean fatty acid composition of all foods given to the rats and the data of consumption indicated in Table 1. Values are the mean ± sem. Statistical significance of the differences between groups (2-way ANOVA): the columns represent the P values for each variable: sex and diet.
