Figure 2From: Acute appearance of fatty acids in human plasma – a comparative study between polar-lipid rich oil from the microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata and krill oil in healthy young malesChanges 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.Back to article page
