Changes in the concentrations of 20 and 22 carbon chain length polyunsaturated fatty acids when participants consumed a test meal plus algal oil (closed squares) or krill oil (closed diamonds). Data are mean values and their standard deviation from 10 participants. Significant differences are as follows: EPA: For both oils 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 hours are significantly different from time zero. Algal oil is significantly greater than krill oil at 5, 6, 8 and 10 hours. DPA: For algal oil 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 hours are significantly different from time zero. For krill oil 5 and10 hours are significantly different from time zero. DHA: For krill oil 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 hours are significantly different from time zero.
