Table 1. Composition of the experimental diets.

The omega-6 diet (ω-6 diet) is the Lieber-Decarli control diet, which contains 28.4 gm/L of olive oil. Omega-3 diet (ω-3 diet) was customized by replacing 20 gm/L olive oil with the ω-3 oil (NutriGold omega 3 capsule). All the other components were the same in both of the diets to maintain iso-composition and isocaloric properties.
