Fatty acid patterns of dog erythrocyte membranes after feeding of a fish-oil based DHA-rich supplement with a base diet low in n-3 fatty acids versus a diet containing added n-3 fatty acids

Table 1 Analytical composition of the dog food products and fatty acid (FA) pattern (%) of dog food.

Data are based on an as fed basis. The FA included for the calculation of total n-3, total n-6 and total saturated FA are listed in additional file 1.
