Figure 4

Overview of fatty acid synthesis and HFD-induced changes between OP and OR rats. Studied fatty acid (FA) indices and FAs have been marked bold in orange boxes. In response to a HFD, SCD-16 and 16:1n-7 in SAT-TG was higher in OP compared with OR rats (dashed bold-lined red boxes), whereas LA in SAT-TG was lower in OP compared with OR rats (solid bold-lined green box). AA, arachidonic acid; ALA, alpha-linolenic acid; D5D, delta-5 desaturase; D6D, delta-6 desaturase; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; DPA, docosapentaenoic acid; DTA, docosatetraenoic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid, GLA, gamma-linolenic acid; HFD, high-fat diet; LA, linoleic acid; OP, obesity-prone; OR, obesity-resistant; SAT-TG, subcutaneous adipose tissue triacylglycerols; SCD-1, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1.
