TABLE 10.

Fatty acid compositions of the NEFAs; saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated in the plasma from the healthy subjects and COVID-19 patients.

Fatty acid (%)	Healthy subjects	COVID-19 patients	p
SFA	48.75 ± 1.05	45.68 ± 1.06	0.07
MUFA	25.74 ± 1.14	27.79 ± 1.07	NS
PUFA (n-3)	0.51 ± 0.12	0.09 ± 0.03	0.001
PUFA (n-6)	24.98 ± 0.73	24.71 ± 0.85	NS

SFA = saturated fatty acid, MUFA = monounsaturated fatty acids, PUFA = polyunsaturated fatty acids. Data are mean ± SE (healthy subjects n = 22) (COVID-19 patients n = 42). The bold values indicate significant changes.
