Association of rs174547 in FADS1 with baseline PUFAs in plasma cholesteryl esters and desaturase activities in the sub-cohort (n = 1246)1.

177 subjects in the subcohort had missing values for rs174547. PUFAs: polyunsaturated fatty acids.2General linear models were used, and all values are mean ± SEM, adjusted for age and sex.3Only few subjects were successfully measured (AA = 161, AG = 185, and GG = 42).4δ-5 and δ-6 desaturase activities were assessed by the ratio of C20∶4n-6 to C20∶3n-6 and C18∶3n-6 to C18∶2n-6 in plasma cholesteryl esters, respectively.
