Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 7-8). On the same line, values with different letters are significantly different. Major fatty acids are represented, and the results are expressed as percentage of fatty acid of total phospholipids. DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; OO, olive oil; PL, phospholipids; PO, palm oil; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; SFA, saturated fatty acids; UI, unsaturation index. Δ9-desaturase = 16 : 1n-7/16 : 0; Δ6-desaturase = 18 : 3n-6/18 : 2n-6; Δ5-desaturase = 20: 4n-6/20:3n-6. SFA/MUFA: SFA = % C16 : 0 + % C18 : 0 and MUFA = % C16 : 1 + % C18 : 1. PUFA/SFA: SFA = % C16 : 0 + % C18 : 0 and PUFA = % all PUFA. n-3/PUFA: total (n-3)/all PUFA.
