Figure 3. Comparisons of fatty acid compositions in tissue of the kidney, spleen, and lung and in the plasma of SCG/Kj mice fed with control diet, 5% EPA-containing diet, and 5% corn oil diet.

The levels of four types of fatty acids (dihomo-γ-linolenic acid, DHGA; arachidonic acid, AA; eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA; and docosahexaenoic acid, DHA) were determined using gas chromatography and normalized by tissue weight. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM. Comparisons with the control diet group were made with Dunnett's multiple comparison test and non-parametric Steel test.
