Figure 1.

Deuterium incorporation into shorter chain fatty acids (C12 : 0 + C14 : 0), palmitate and palmitoleate (C16 : 0 + C16 : 1) and longer chain fatty acids (C18 : 0 + C18 : 1) for adults. IS refers to the internal standard (C17 : 0) that was added as a control. Asterisks indicate significant differences in incorporation between adults receiving deuterium treatment and those receiving water controls. Points and error bars denote log-transformed adjusted mean per cent incorporation and 95% CIs, respectively. Letters not shared within chain length type indicate significant differences in rates of incorporation between species (α=0.05).
