¹ All compounds are expressed as GC-MS percentage of methyl esters; ² experimental retention indices calculated against saturated fatty acids; ³ retention indices according to the Lipids Library 1.0. ⁴ control group; ⁵ rats fed a standard diet with the addition of saponin fraction; ⁶ rats fed a standard diet with the addition of terpenoid fraction; ⁷ values are mean; values followed by the same letter within a row are not significantly different (p > 0.05, Tukey’s test); ⁸ SFA, saturated fatty acid; ⁹ MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; ¹⁰ PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
