  1. *denoted as Carbon chain length: number of unsaturated bonds in trans (t) or cis (c) position and location
  2. † Calculated from value for control beef in (Shah et al., 2006)
  3. UNS – unsaturated FA, SAT – Saturated FA
  4. CON – Control diet, SCLA – diet with 1.69% synthetic CLA replacing equivalent amount of the soybean oil, CONM – Diet containing control beef (see table 1), CLAM – diet containing high CLA beef (see table 1).
