Evaluation of ω3 treatments at the doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg on the striatal contents of DA (a), DOPAC (b), and NE (c), in rats subjected to brain ischemia and reperfusion for 7 days. The numbers of animals per group were the following: for DA, SO = 14, ISC = 9, ISC + ω3 (5) = 19, and ISC + ω3 (10) = 15; for DOPAC, SO = 14, ISC = 11, ISC + ω3 (5) = 15, and ISC + ω3 (10) = 14; for NE, SO = 8, ISC = 10, ISC + ω3 (5) = 8, and ISC + ω3 (10) = 6. The columns represent means ± SEM and the groups are sham-operated (SO); ischemic (ISC) untreated; and ischemic after ω3 treatments for 7 days. DA: (A) versus SO, q = 3.830∗∗; (B) versus ω3 (5), q = 5.145∗∗; (C) versus ω3 (10), q = 4.570∗∗. DOPAC: (A) versus SO, t = 2.484, df = 23; (B) versus ω3 (5), q = 4.707∗∗; (C) versus ω3 (10), t = 2.085, df = 23. NE: (A) versus SO, q = 16.52∗∗∗; (B) versus ω3 (2.5), q = 18.79∗∗∗; (C) versus ω3 (5), q = 17.09∗∗∗ (one-way ANOVA and Newman-Keuls test as the post hoc test).
