Regulation of peripheral blood lipid mediator profiles by bLXA4 in periodontal disease. Whole blood was obtained at the indicated intervals post-treatment and serum isolated by centrifugation. Lipid mediator (LM) levels were investigated using LM metabololipidomics (see the Materials and Methods section for details).
