Figure 1. n-3 PUFA consumption prevents proteinuria onset and reduces weight gain.

Figure 1

Female NZBWF1/J mice were fed DFO, CRN or HOS diets beginning at 4 wk of age. (A)Urinary protein was assessed using urinalysis reagent strips. Mice exhibiting ≥300 mg/dL were considered positive for proteinuria. (B) Effect of experimental diets on body weight. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 16) until 16 wk of age and n = 8, thereafter Letters a and b indicate body weights of DFO-fed mice differ significantly from those of CRN- and HOS-fed mice, respectively (p<0.05).
