Each value is mean±SD (n=4).
Values with different superscripts within the same row are significantly different by Duncan’s multiple range test at p<0.05.
Not significantly different at p<0.05.
SFA, saturated fatty acid; USFA, unsaturated fatty acid; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acid; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid.
