A diet high in LA decreases barrier function and alters the metabolome in the intestines of conventionally raised and germ-free mice.

Notes: (a) Epithelial barrier permeability as measured by FITC-Dextran in the blood in GF mice fed either Viv chow or SO+f diet for 12 weeks. T-test. N = 3–5 per group. See Supplementary Figure S6D for comparison of Conv and GF FITC. (b) PCA of oxylipin and endocannabinoid/NAE metabolites in IECs isolated from Conv and GF mice fed either Viv chow or SO+f diet for 8 weeks. N = 6 per group. (c) Schematic and Venn analysis of metabolomics data in B. Absolute levels of fatty acids (d), graph showing ratio of product-substrate for metabolism of LA to AA (omega-6) and ALA to EPA (omega-3) (e) and absolute levels of endocannabinoids/NAEs (f) measured in IECs from Conv and GF mice fed either Viv chow or SO+f diets for 8 weeks. a vs Conv Viv, b vs Conv SO+f, c vs GF Viv P < .05, P = .07 for AA Conv Viv vs GF Viv, One-way ANOVA (Holm-Sidak posthoc). N = 6 per group. See Supplementary Figures S7 and S8.
