Samples (n = 6/group) were collected at the end of the clamp period. There were no significant differences between groups for any of the species detected in both groups. The species 18:3ω3 was not detected in the SAL group; in the GLC group, it appeared at the lower limit of detection. 14:0, tetradecanoic acid; 16:0, hexadecanoic acid; 16:1, 9-tetradecenoic acid; 18:0, octadecanoic acid; 18:1ω9, (Z)-octadec-9-enoic (oleic) acid; 18:1ω7, 11-octadecenoic acid; 18:2, 9,12-octadecadienoic (linoleic) acid; 18:3ω6, all-cis-6,9,12-octadecatrienoic acid; 18:3ω3, all-cis-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic (α-linolenic) acid; 20:4, all-cis-5,8,11,14-icosatetraenoic acid.
