De novo fat synthesis from glucose and synthesized FA. Panel A Methods 1 and 2 estimate the mammary de novo synthesis of fat from glucose, method 3 estimates the mammary endogenous FA from glucose plus mobilized body fat. Each treatment contained 8 replicates (n = 8). The significant difference between fat levels is marked with asterisk (*P ≤ 0.05), while significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) among high-fat diets are marked with different small letter. CO = coconut oil; OFO = octanoic acid plus fish oil; FO = fish oil; SO = sunflower oil. Panel B shows the correlation between de novo synthesis of fat quantified using method 1 and 2
