Fig. 4. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity (µmol min1
g1 lean muscle mass) in pectoral muscle of refueling
semipalmated sandpipers vs %20:5 (A,C) and %22:6 (B,D) in fuel
reserves (total body neutral lipids, NL; A,B) and muscle phospholipids (PL;
C,D). 20:5 is eicosapentaenoic acid and 22:6 is docosahexaenoic acid. Lines
were fitted by linear regression (%20:5 NL: y=409.86+23.54x;
%22:6 NL: y=460.62+47.41x). N=39.
***P<0.005; NS, not significant.
