Comparison of n−6/n−3 ratios between wild-type and mfat-1 transgenic lamb.

Ratio of n−6/n−3 fatty acid was calculated from n−6 fatty acids [linoleic acid (LA, 18∶2n−6) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20∶4n−6)] versus n−3 fatty acids [α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18∶3n−3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20∶5n−3), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22∶6n−3)]. Each value represents the mean ± standard deviation from three replicated sample measurements of each tissue.aStatistical analysis using the two tailed student t-test. Significant differences between the wild-type and the transgenic lamb samples were marked (*PP
