  1. 1 Data are given as means and pooled SEM, n = 4 per treatment group unless noted otherwise. CON, control diet with no added oil; SBO, metabolic syndrome diet + 13% soybean oil; LLO, metabolic syndrome diet + 13% low α-linolenic soybean oil. a,b,cLabeled means in a row without a common superscript letter, P < 0.05.
  2. 2 SFA- saturated fatty acid.
  3. 3 MUFA - Mono unsaturated fatty acid.
  4. 4 PUFA- Poly unsaturated fatty acid.
