| PPARGC1A | 0.77 | < 0.0001 | L-LPE |
| THBS1 | 0.73 | < 0.0001 | LES-LPE |
| THBS1 | 0.56 | 0.006 | L-LPE |
| TGFBI | 0.53 | 0.008 | L-LPE |
| LPL | 0.52 | 0.01 | L-LPE |
| RXRA | 0.44 | 0.04 | L-LPE |
(1)L = diet enriched with extruded linseed (source of n-3 PUFA); LES = diet enriched with extruded linseed, vitamin E and selenium; LPE = diet enriched with extruded linseed and plant extracts (source of polyphenols).
