TABLE 2.

Proportions of Linoleic acid (LA) and Linolenic acid (ALA) of linseed oil- (‘Low LA’ or ‘High ALA’), safflower oil- (‘High LA’ or ‘Low ALA’) and linseed/safflower oil (‘Inter LA’ or ‘Inter ALA’) -enriched diets as fed to garden dormice for at least two weeks prior to hibernation.

FATTY ACIDS	DIETS
	Low LA or High ALA	Inter LA or Inter ALA	High LA or Low ALA
Linoleic acid (18:2 n-6)	19.28	35.55	52.95
Linolenic acid (18:3 n-3)	31.92	17.16	1.35
n-6 PUFA	19.62	35.87	53.29
n-3 PUFA	32.20	17.47	1.71
n-6/n-3	0.61	2.06	31.50
LA/ALA	0.61	2.08	41.22

The sums of n-6 or n-3 PUFA, as well as the ratios between n-6 and n-3 PUFA or LA and ALA of the three specific diets are also indicated. Fatty acid proportions are expressed as% of total fatty acids. Values are means from four analyses per diet. Data were extracted from Table 1 in Logan et al. (2020).
