1PPARG = peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma; CEBPA = CAAT-enhancer binding protein alpha; SREBF1 = sterol regulatory element-binding factor 1; SCD = stearoyl-CoA desaturase; ACACA = acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1; LPL = lipoprotein lipase; FADS1 = fatty acid desaturase 1; FADS2 = fatty acid desaturase 2; ELOVL5 = fatty acid elongase 5.

2Treatments: L = 10% linseed; L-A = 5% linseed with 3.89% marine algae.

3FC = Fold change. The values reported represent the fold change relative to control group that has the value of 1.

4Std. Error. A range for Standard Error calculated by REST software.

5NR = not regulated.

6The relative gene expression of ELOVL5 in IM AT was not detected.
