In the Animals and diets subsection of the Materials and Methods, there are errors in the first through third sentences of the second paragraph. The correct sentences are: Experimental diets were formulated by modifying American Institute of Nutrition (AIN)-93G diet [25] as summarized in Table 1. All diets contained 64 g/kg food-grade soybean oil and 10 g/kg food-grade corn oil to provide essential fatty acids.

c Corn oil contained 612 g/kg linoleic acid and 260 g/kg oleic acid

dHigh-oleic safflower oil contained 750 g/kg oleic acid and 140 g/kg linoleic acid

e Algal oil contained 395 g/kg DHA and 215 g/kg oleic acid

There are a number of errors in Table 1. Please see the correct Table 1 here.
