Table 1. Participant characteristics at baseline.
Figure 2. Changes in plasma concentrations of total (EPA + DHA) LC n-3 PUFA in response to the intervention. sssp < .001 for SUPP vs PRE.
EPA indicates eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; LC n-3 PUFA, long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids; SUPP, supplement; PRE, baseline.
