TABLE 7.

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

Fatty acid (%)	Healthy subjects	COVID-19 patients	p
SFA	31.92 ± 0.58	43.24 ± 0.82	0.001
MUFA	30.01 ± 0.91	26.96 ± 0.64	0.009
PUFA (n-3)	0.04 ± 0.01	0.10 ± 0.02	NS
PUFA (n-6)	38.00 ± 1.04	29.68 ± 0.70	0.001

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.
