  1. After 12 d of differentiation, cells were collected for FA analysis. Cells were then subjected to transesterification and injected into a GC. The results are expressed as the percent of the total FA content (100%). The data are presented as the mean ± SEM of six independent wells.
  2. *P < 0.05.
