Pearson correlation of plasma hormone and metabolite concentrations of lambs feeding a high concentrate diet born from ewes supplemented with 0, 1, or 2% EPA- and DHA-enriched diets during the last 50 d of gestation

	Insulin	GIP1	Glucose	NEFA1
Lambs	69	62	71	71
Ghrelin	−0.22a	−0.09	−0.01	0.46b
Insulin		0.10	0.32b	−0.45b
GIP			−0.14	0.18
Glucose				−0.19

¹GIP = glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; NEFA = nonesterified fatty acids.

^a P-value for the correlation ≤ 0.10 and > 0.05.

^b P-value for the correlation ≤ 0.01.
