Notes: Data is expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8–9 per group) for percent mole fraction of femur total fatty acids. Percent mole fraction of fatty acids below 1% are not shown. ^a Values are significantly different from maternal CON at weaning. ^b Values are significantly different from maternal HF at weaning. ^c Values are significantly different from maternal CON at 3 months of age.
