Abbreviations: ALA, α-lipoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; DPA, docosapentaenoic acid; LA, linoleic acid. Compositions of ω-6 or ω-3 PUFAs were expressed using relative percentages, ie, the distribution areas of ω-3 or ω-6 PUFA peaks divided by the total peak areas of all detectable saturated and unsaturated presented are means ± SD; n = 6.

P < .01 when the fat-1 group was compared with the WT control group.
