Fatty acid content of subcutaneous fat: The major saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) in the subcutaneous fat were palmitic (c16 o) and stearic 8: o) acids and to a lesser extent myristic acid (C14: 0), lauric acid C12: o. ), capric acid(Cio: o and pentadecanoic acid (C15: 0) (Table 3). The total SFA content did not show significant differences between all treatment groups The total Unsaturated Fatty Acid (UFA) content was not significantly different (p 0.05) between all treatment. groups. Generally, the CON group accumulated more UFA in the subcutaneous fat compared to the other groups.The Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) contributed substantially (37.20.38.92 g / 100 g total identified fatty acids) towards the high total UFA content of the subcutaneous fat in all the treatment groups. All treatment groups had similar amounts of MUFA which was in the order of coN> opFM oPFH with oleic acid being the single major contributor to the total MUFA of.the fat depot The CPFH anam als had a significantly renecedan higher (linear, poo es) level onic acud (0.93 hoo
