2.5. Statistical analysis
Data from the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS were analyzed using the MassLynx V4.1
software (Milford, MA, USA). Data results are represented as mean ±
standard deviation. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS
Statistics 25 software (New York, USA). Groups were significant by the
Duncan test in analysis of variance (ANOVA), which were considered
statistically different at P < 0.05. The Pearson’s
correlation test was used to determine the relationship between breast
milk triacylglycerol composition and maternal dietary intake. Boxplots
were plotted using GraphPad prism 9.0 (California, USA). Correlation
heat maps were plotted using TBtools software (Guangdong, China).
Principal component analysis (PCA) plots were plotted using SIMCA 14.1
software (Demo Umetrics, Umea, Sweden).
