Fatty acid profile of the study population, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients between the fatty acids in red blood cells, expressed as relative amount, and the EPDS‡ score (n = 43).

†Measured fatty acid value below the limit of quantification for the method.‡Edinburgh postpartum depression scale.§Correlation between % of total fatty acid and EPDS.∥The content of EPA+DHA in red blood cells membranes expressed as a percent of total fatty acid.¶Total HUFA is the sum of the omega-3 and the omega-6 HUFAs, and the red blood cells omega-3 HUFA score equals 100% - omega-6 HUFA.
