Comparison of selected plasma n-3 fatty acids of subjects with different dietary patterns. (A) α-Linolenic acid (ALA), (B) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), (C) docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and (D) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations in plasma lipids are presented as the percentage of the total area of total fatty acid methyl esters (%FAME). In total, 62 omnivores (Western diet; WD), 69 flexitarians (Flex), 64 vegetarians (VG) and 57 vegans (VN) were analyzed. The results are shown as violin plots with median (indicated as squares) and 25- and 75-quartile ranges (indicated as dotted lines). Diet groups that do not share indices (a, b,c) differ significantly (Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Benjamini-Hochberg correction (p < 0.05))
