Associations of plasma phospholipid (PPL) fatty acid and enzyme activity estimates (EAEs), as tertiles, with having adenomas relative to no colon polyps. (A) Palmitic acid (PA), (B) SCDn-7, and (C) Elovl-6. The symbol “■” represent the odds ratio and error bars indicate lower and upper confidence intervals, respectively. Both test for exposure and test for trend models adjusted for age and smoking. PA is expressed as a percent of total PPL FAs. Elovl-6, elongation of very long chain fatty acids-6 EAE, PA, palmitic acid; SCDn-7, stearoyl-CoA desaturase n-7 EAE.
