The differences between the means in the rows with different small letters with and without superscripts are significant; TFA = sum of all identified trans fatty acids; PUFA/SFA = ratio of ΣPUFA to ΣSFA, n-6/n-3 = ratio of Σn-6 PUFA to Σn-3 PUFA, AI = atherogenic index, TI = thrombogenic index, h/H = hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratio, PI = peroxidizability index. UFA = sum of unidentified fatty acids and their isomers.
