(GC-FID, Agilent 7890B, USA). The column was SP-2560 (ID 0.25
mm×length 100 m; Sigma-Aldrich, Germany), and fatty acid methyl ester
37 (FAME 37, Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) was used as a reference for peak
identification and quantification. The running condition of GC-FID was
followed by the FAME 37 manual (oven temperature: 140°C for 5 min;
Ramp: 240°C at 4°C/min and hold for 28 min; injector and
detector temperature: 260°C; split ratio: 1:30; injection volume: 1
μL).
Retention time and area value of each fatty acid peak, and peak pattern of
the sample were obtained. Peak was identified comparing with FAME 37 peak
pattern. These data were processed for association analysis between fatty
acid composition and the genotype.
