Essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency in L-Fabp−/− mice fed high-SF diet cannot account for decreased obesity and steatosis. A: average peak area of specific fatty acids species in serum of chow C57BL/6J and SF-fed mice. n = 4 animals per group. For all FA species shown, levels are significantly different in chow-fed C57BL/6J mice compared with each of the SF-fed groups. B: ratio of mead acid [20:3 (n-9)] to arachidonic acid [20:4 (n-6)]. Triene-to-tetraene ratios >0.2 indicate EFA deficiency. C: average peak area of serum fatty acids in chow and Western diet (WD) fed mice. n = 3–4 animals/genotype. Inset shows final body weight of C57BL/6J and WU L-Fabp−/− mice fed WD (30). WU L-Fabp−/− mice fed WD are from 2004, generation N7, F3. D: triene-to-tetraene ratio of serum fatty acids in chow- and WD-fed mice. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05 vs. chow C57BL/6J controls.
