Plasma fatty acid levels at baseline and 1-year changes according to the 1-year change in the MetS status.^A

<p>MetS, Metabolic Syndrome; MA, myristic acid; PA, palmitic acid; MGA, margaric acid; SA, stearic acid; POA, palmitoleic acid; OA, oleic acid; LA, linoleic acid; GLA, <i>γ</i>-linolenic acid; DGLA, dihommo-γ-linoleic acid; AA, arachidonic acid; ALA, <i>α</i>-linolenic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid.</p><p>Values in the same row (Change) with different superscript letters (a,b) are significantly different (<i>p</i><0.05 by Duncan test).</p>A<p>Values are expressed as geometric mean (% of total fatty acids) ± SD.</p>B<p><i>p</i> for within-group differences from baseline by paired <i>t</i> test.</p>C<p><i>p</i> for between-group differences from baseline by one-factor ANOVA.
