  1. aThe tertile of alternative n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratio intake. T1: 1st tertile, T2: 2nd tertile, T3: 3rd tertile. bData is presented as Mean ± SE. cP-value is for the test of difference in means of the variables by tertiles of n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratio using one-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) for continuous variables
