FAHFA concentrations in vegetarians/vegans compared to omnivores and in lean young men before and after acute overfeeding. (A) FAHFA concentration in individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet (vegetarians) in comparison to individuals under a normal diet (omnivores). Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the groups. n = 10/9 (vegetarians/omnivores), except for 9-, 10- and 12/13-PAHSA: n = 10/5. (B) FAHFA concentration in young, healthy males undergoing short-term overfeeding. Wilcoxon matched-pairs test was used to compare participants before (T1) and after (T2) intervention. Box plots describe the median and the 25th percentile and 75th percentile. n = 15. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. t, total (sum of FAHFAs/PAHSAs measured); FAHFA, fatty acid ester of hydroxy fatty acid; OAHSA, oleic acid-hydroxy stearic acid; PAHPA, palmitic acid-hydroxy palmitic acid; PAHSA, palmitic acid-hydroxy stearic acid; SAHSA, stearic acid-hydroxy stearic acid.
