a Pearson correlation calculation, compares LE years of individual samples to log transformed median-normalized lipid species found to be statistically significantly altered in abundance in LE AT compared to non-LE AT. R2 is degree of alignment to line of best fit.
b Significance equal to p <0.05; p value (two-tailed). N/a; Not applicable–not detected i.e. not present in AT oil (<0.001 units).
