Values are for mg/100 mg fatty acids and are mean ± SD; n = 5–6 per group per time point. Values within a row at any particular time point with different letters are significantly different from each other, using ANOVA followed by post hoc LSD test (P < 0.05). *Difference tends to be significantly different across groups (P = 0.064).
