FA profiles of the control (soybean) and experimental (borage) oils are derived from in-house quality control analyses and are in agreement with those stated on vendor-supplied certificates of analysis. The dose of FAs was provided in the 10 capsules consumed daily by participants. FA, fatty acid; LA, linoleic; GLA, γ-linolenic.
