In the third paragraph in the left-hand column on page 1229, the following sentence should have been deleted: "Linoleic acid ...is converted after ingestion to other PUFAs such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)." In the same paragraph, the following sentence also should have been deleted: "Linoleic acid may therefore lower the prevalence of senile dryness and skin atrophy by acting as a source of EPA and DHA." Finally, in the second full paragraph of the right-hand column on page 1229, the following sentence should have been deleted as well: "Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the body can convert linoleic acid into EPA and DHA (n–3 PUFAs)."
