Eicosanoid and docosanoid concentrations of baseline uninfused rat brains after 15 weeks of the n-6 PUFA-adequate or n-6 PUFA-deprived diet. Data are means ± SEM (n = 8 n-6 PUFA-adequate rats, n = 7 n-6 PUFA-deprived rats). ARA-derived eicosanoids (A), DHA-derived eicosanoids (B), and DHA-derived docosanoids (C). Eicosanoids and docosanoids were measured by LC/MS/MS. Differences were assessed using the Student’s t-test. The asterisk indicates significant difference from n-6 PUFA-adequate group (P < 0.05).
