A. Schematic representation of blood samples analysis. Plasma, triglyceride (TG) fraction and red blood cells (RBCs) were isolated from blood samples of participants by centrifugation and TLC, and then analyzed for FA content by GC-FID. (CE – cholesterol ester; FFA – free fatty acids; C – cholesterol; PL – phospholipids). FAs concentrations were measured in TGs (B, C, G, H), plasma (D, F) and RBCs (E) of control, hyper-TG and HIAP groups, using GC-FID. FA levels are expressed as µmole of FA per 100 ml sample (B, D-G), or as absolute levels in mmol/L, corrected to plasma TG levels (C, H). Total omega-3 and omega-6 levels were calculated by summing concentrations of individual FAs within these classes. The results shown by taking mean ±SEM. Statistical analyses were carried out by two-sided student’s t test. * (p<0.05), ** (p<0.01), *** (p<0.001).
