n-3 PUFA added to high-fat diets affect differently adiposity and inflammation when carried by phospholipids or triacylglycerols in mice

^aConsidering the difference observed in tocopherols in lipid mixtures, which can affect their metabolic impact [31], care was taken to supplement lipid mixtures with α-tocopherol during formulation to achieve iso-tocopherol diets.
