  1. Data were analysed by two-way ANOVA followed by post hoc LSD tests.
  2. Where there was an interaction between treatment and diet, separate t-tests were performed. For each fatty acid (i.e. within each row), values without common notation (a, b, c) differ significantly (P < 0.05).
  3. Values are the mean ± SEM (n = 7 to 8 per group).
