Schematic of the correlations between adipose tissue, plasma phospholipid and plaque content of arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. A: Positive correlations were found between the content of arachidonic acid (ARA) in adipose tissue and plasma phospholipids as well as between plasma phospholipids and atherosclerotic plaques. No significant correlation between the content of ARA in adipose tissue and plaque was observed. B: Strong positive correlations between the content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in all three compartments were found indicating that EPA is readily incorporated into all these compartments.
