*The concentrations of fatty acids were expressed as a percentage of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) quantified. Significant effects (p < 0.05) of breed on fatty acid are presented. c = cis; t = trans; SFA (sum of saturated fatty acid) = 10:0 + 12:0 + 14:0 + 15:0 + 16:0 + 17:0 + 18:0 + 19:0 + 20:0; BCFA (sum of branched chain fatty acid) = iso−14:0 + iso-15:0 + anteiso-15:0 + iso-16:0 + iso-17:0 + anteiso-17:0 + iso-18:0; SFA + BCFA = sum of SFA and BCFA; trans-18:1 (sum of trans-18:1) = t6-18:1 + t9-18:1 + t10-18:1 + t11-18:1 + t12-18:1 + t13-/t14-18:1; MUFA (sum of monounsaturated fatty acid) = c9-14:1 + c7-16:1 + c9-16:1 + c11-16:1 + c9-17:1 + c9-18:1 + c11-18:1 + c12-18:1 + c13-18:1 + c14-18:1 + t6-18:1 + t9-18:1 + t10-18:1 + t11-18:1 + t12-18:1 + t13-/t14-18:1 + c9-20:1 + c11-20:1; ADFA (sum of atypical dienes fatty acid) = c9,t14-/c9,t13-18:2 + c9,t15-18:2 + c9,t12-18:2 + t11,c15-18:2 + c9,c15-18:2; CLA (sum of conjugated linoleic acid) = t7,c9-18:2 + c9,t11-18:2 + t9,c11-18:2 + t11,t13-18:2 + t7,t9-/t10,t12-18:2; n-6 (sum of omega 6 fatty acids) = 18:2n-6 + 20:3n-6 + 20:4n-6; n-3 (sum of omega 3 fatty acids) = 18:3n-3; PUFA (sum of polyunsaturated fatty acid) = 18:2n-6 + 20:3n-6 + 20:4n-6 + 18:3n-3; PUFA/SFA = ratio of PUFA to SFA; n-6/n-3 = ratio of n − 6 to n − 3 PUFA; FA ratio = (18:3n-3 + c9,t11-18:2 + t11-18:1)/(14:0 + 16:0 + t10-18:1); SCD proxy (stearoyl-CoA desaturase proxy) = c9-14:1/(c9-14:1 + 14:0).
Means in the same row with different superscripts (a, b, c) indicate significance (p < 0.05).
Only major FAs/FA groups are listed in this table. Detailed proportions of the FAs of individual samples are listed in Supplementary Table S6.
