TABLE 4.

Total fatty acid composition of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated in the plasma from the healthy subjects and COVID-19 patients.

Fatty acid	Healthy subjects	COVID-19 patients	p
SFA	49.10 ± 0.83	38.65 ± 0.70	0.001
MUFA	23.82 ± 0.70	32.09 ± 0.61	0.001
PUFA (n-3)	0.91 ± 0.11	0.31 ± 0.05	0.001
PUFA (n-6)	25.94 ± 0.53	28.19 ± 0.82	0.02

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.
