  1. Values are expressed as mg fatty acid/g tissue protein. Data are reported as mean ± SD. Na2S2O5, sodium metabisulfite; DGLA, Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid; AA, Arachidonic acid; EPA, Eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, Docosahexaenoic acid. Statistical analysis was performed by one way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks.
