Figure 1

The fatty acid profile of the diets. (a) Three-week-old rats were fed for 6 weeks with either the control diet or the test diet (Scia). The FA profile of formulated pellets is given by the chromatograms. Mass percentages of FA are indicated by the side of each peak. (b) The specificity of each diet was evaluated at the end of the experiment by profiling the FA of the white adipose tissue. The difference between the two diets was evaluated by a t-test (*p < 0.05).
