From: Diverse captive non-human primates with phytanic acid-deficient diets rich in plant products have substantial phytanic acid levels in their red blood cells

Figure 2

Phytanic acid levels in non-human primate (NHP) red blood cells (RBCs). Box plots representing the percentage of phytanic acid relative to total fatty acids from RBCs are provided. Median, quartile 1, quartile 3, minimum, and maximum values are provided. The number of individuals for each species is provided on the X-axes. These are annotated in black font if the information is partially (human vegan, bonobo, and gorilla) or completely (olive baboon, rhesus macaque, common marmoset, and siamang) newly generated for this manuscript (Additional file 2). The data annotated in gray font was previous reported by ourselves using the same methods [3]. Combined data from males and females are used in this analysis.
