Table 4.
Mean values (± S.E.M.) of the fatty acids composition of tissues in pigs born from sows treated or not with hydroxytyrosol (groups HT and C, respectively) at 25 days-old. All values are significantly different between treatments (P < 0.05).
| Tissue | Lipid Fraction | Variable | Treatment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | HT | |||
| LD | Neutral | C18:1/C18:0 | 6.7 ± 0.6 | 7.8 ± 0.5 |
| GM | Neutral | C18:1/C18:0 | 6.9 ± 0.5 | 7.7 ± 0.4 |
| Polar | MUFA (g/100g FA) | 19.1 ± 0.6 | 20.3 ± 0.5 | |
| MUFA/SFA | 0.50 ± 0.02 | 0.54 ± 0.01 | ||
| Liver | Polar | SFA (g/100g FA) | 47.8 ± 1.8 | 51.1 ± 1.2 |
| MUFA (g/100g FA) | 15.2 ± 1.9 | 11.1 ± 1.4 | ||
| Brain | Neutral | MUFA (g/100g FA) | 29.3 ± 0.9 | 27.5 ± 0.7 |
Group C = grupo control. Group HT= treated with hydroxytyrosol LD = longissimus dorsi muscle, GM = gluteus medius muscle. FA = Fatty acids; SFA = sum of saturated fatty acids, MUFA = sum of monounsaturated fatty acids.
