Alterations in free fatty acids of the omega-6 and omega-3 pathways (linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and putative docosahexanoic acid, designated with the symbol #). Neutron exposure (1 Gy) translates to general suppression of levels at day 1. Levels return to no statistical significance at day 7 compared to 1 Gy X-ray exposure. Eicosapentaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, is the only free fatty acid that reverses its circulating profile (increased compared to 1 Gy X rays) at day 7. All data are presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (Welch’s t test).
