Figure 3

Fatty acid distribution at p21 in various tissues. The percent of fatty acid is normalized to that of palmitate. Black bars represent the Control group, and gray bars the FR group. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 when comparing the two groups. The fatty acid distribution was similar between the SC fat (A) and RP fat (B). In liver, stearate was increased but oleate was decreased in FR compared to Controls. The fatty acid distribution of plasma (D) and muscle (E) were similar. The trend toward differences between FR and Control stearate and oleate in plasma (D) appeared to reflect the differences in liver (C).
