Fig. 4: The relationship between hepatic lipid composition and plasma VLDL-TG composition.

Relationships are shown for the different lipid fractions: a SFA, b MUFA, and c PUFA (n = 17). Hepatic %SFA determined with MRS and %SFA in VLDL-TG correlated significantly (p = 1.38 × 10−4). The correlation coefficient is shown in the respective plots (two-sided Pearson correlation).
