Fig. 1

Correlations between serum fatty acids and desaturase indices in serum cholesterol esters (a) and serum phospholipids (b) and adipose tissue depots. Bars are Pearson correlation coefficient (r). The correlation coefficient is given as a number beside the bar for all significant correlations (P < 0.05). Abbreviations: PA, palmitic acid; LA, linoleic acid; ALA, alpha-linoleic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; SCD, stearoyl-CoA desaturase; D5D, delta-5 desaturase; D6D, delta-6 desaturase; HOMA, homeostasis model of assessment insulin resistance
