Fig. 3. Pharmacokinetics of eicosapentaenoic acid plus docosahexaenoic acid between sexes after ethyl ester or monoacylglyceride supplementation.
Females are represented by dotted lines and males by the continuous line. a Concentration (mg/dL) of plasma eicosapentaenoic acid + docosahexaenoic acid (EPA + DHA) in total lipids over 24 h in ethyl ester form; b Concentration (mg/dL) of plasma EPA + DHA in total lipids over 24 h in monoacylglyceride form. All results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 20). AUC = area under the curve. ns p value > 0.05 (t-test), *p value = 0.0295 (t-test), ***p value = 0.0006 (t-test).
