Figure 2

Fatty acid content in plasma phospholipids ((A) ARA, (B) LA, (C) DHA and (D) EPA) during 4-week supplementation and 4-week washout. Placebo, low-ARA and high-ARA groups are indicated by open circles, closed diamonds and closed squares, respectively. Values are means ± SD (n = 20 (placebo) and n = 22 (in each low- and high-ARA group)). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. baseline in group (repeated ANOVA and Dunnett's test). #p < 0.05 vs. placebo group and $p < 0.05 vs. low-ARA group when amount of change from baseline significantly differed at each time point (ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer test).
