De novo vs. imported FA and Δ9 desaturase indexes. De novo FA synthesis (Synthesized) vs FA import (Imported) analysis (Top panel) and Δ9 desaturase indexes during lactation (Bottom panel). Synthesized = FA with 4÷14 carbons except 11:1; pooled SEM = 0.34. Imported from blood = FA with carbon chain >16 plus 15:0 and 11:1; pooled SEM = 0.31. Synthesized/Imported, pooled SEM = 0.10. Pooled SEM for Δ9 activity on 14:0, 16:0, 18:0, and trans 11-18:1 was 0.008, 0.007, 0.02, and 0.06, respectively. Statistical effect of time: P < 0.05 for all measurements except Synthesized FA (P = 0.24) and Δ9 activity on 18:0 (P = 0.77).
