Figure 1

Baseline composition of red and white blood cells. The % compositions (mean ± SEM) of ten assayed lipids at baseline (without omega 3 supplement) of red and white blood cells are shown. Two way analyses of variance followed by Bonferroni posttests showed that the steric acid fraction was significantly less and the arachidonic acid fraction was significantly higher in red blood cells than in white blood cells at baseline. EPA - eicosapentaenoic acid; DPA - docosapentaenoic acid; DHA - docosahexaenoic acid.
