Phospholipid-bound AA and DHA levels and luminal diameter in pancreas from cftr−/− mice fed LNA, EPA, or DHA
Fatty acid | AA | DHA | Luminal diameter |
---|---|---|---|
Control | 21.6 ± 7.6 | 1.5 ± 0.5 | 5.6 ± 1.4 |
LNA | 5.5 ± 0.8 | 0.7 ± 0.07 | 7.3 ± 2.8 |
EPA | 5.1 ± 0.3 | 2.2 ± 0.4 | 5.8 ± 1.2 |
DHA | 4.9 ± 1.8 | 8.9 ± 1.5 | 1.8 ± 0.5 |
Values for AA and DHA are expressed in nmol/mg protein and for luminal diameter are expressed in μm and represent the mean ± SD from at least three separate experiments. LNA, α-linolenic acid.
