AUC values are given as Least Square Mean for AUC which is a mean value of total AUC adjusted by the period and sequence. ANOVA model with repeated measurements taking into account of the cross-over design was used to test for a significant difference in the effect of treatment. *number of subjects = 22; PUFA – polyunsaturated fatty acid | |||||||
