Study diet containing 8 % energy (en%) linoleic acid (LA), 0.4 % energy (en%) arachidonic acid (AA), 0.05 % omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) for 12 weeks
Diet B: Low Omega-3 (n-3) + Low Linoleic Acid (LA)
n=28 Participants
Study diet containing 1 % energy (en%) linoleic acid (LA), 0.4 % energy (en%) arachidonic acid (AA), 0.05 % omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) for 12 weeks
Diet C: High Omega-3 (n-3) + Low Linoleic Acid (LA)
n=17 Participants
Study diet containing 1 % energy (en%) linoleic acid (LA), 0.4 % energy (en%) arachidonic acid (AA), 0.81 % omega-3 (n-3) HUFA for 12 weeks
Proportion of n-3 HUFA Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: The analyses included only those participants who completed at least 4 weeks of the diet phase with fasting blood samples available

Tissue accretion of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA or 22:6n3), an omega-3 (n-3) highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA), as measured in fasting plasma as a percent of total fatty acids.
