  1. 1Statistical significance of Pearson correlation coefficients: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
  2. 2Fatty acid contents expressed as mol/g liver.
  3. 3There were no significant correlations between SCD or SREBF1 and individual fatty acids.
  4. 4There were no significant correlations between 15:0, CLA (c9t11), 22:6n-3 and the mRNA levels of the genes under analysis.
