Omega-3 blood biomarkers in dried blood spot samples stored with 0, 2.5 or 5 mg/mL BHT over 28 days at room temperature. BHT, butylated hydroxytoluene; HUFA, highly unsaturated fatty acid; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; DPAn-3, omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid; n-3, omega-3; n-6, omega-6. Bars represent means with error bars representing the S.D., n = 3. Bars with different letters within BHT condition are significantly different by Tukey’s HSD post hoc procedure (P < 0.05) after a significant F-value by one-way ANOVA (P < 0.05).
