FIGURE 3.
Effect of time and supplementation of ALA and DHA in healthy young male and female adults on plasma total (A, D) n–3 and n–6 PUFAs, and (B, E) oxylipins and (C, F) total SFAs and MUFAs. Where there is a supplementation by time interaction, †denotes value is different from DHA supplementation at that time point, and *denotes value is different from baseline for same supplementation based on significant adjusted P values (Tukey–Kramer corrections) for differences of least squares means. Data points are mean ± SEM for sexes combined and analyzed using a mixed model with individuals as a random effect, and time, supplementation, and sex as fixed effects; n = 12 for each time point, except for days 14 and 28 during the DHA supplementation phase, where n = 11. ALA, α-linolenic acid.
