Routing of ARA 20:4n-6
Distribution of ARA differed by tissue/lipid type
(F 3,114 = 80.1,R 2adj = 0.67,p < 0.001), with a higher percentage used in polar lipds
(post hoc : muscle PL vs. all other typesp < 0.001; brain PL vs. other typesp < 0.001, but lower than in muscle PL). Muscle NL had,
comparatively, the lowest amount of ARA (post hoc : vs. all other
tissue/lipid types p < 0.001) (Fig. 6C).
