Body weight 2-days after i.c.v. surgery	369 ± 33	373 ± 17	355 ± 29	377 ± 30	NS	NS	NS
Change in body weight	−17 ± 7	−15 ± 4	−12 ± 9	−16 ± 3	NS	NS	NS
Rectal temperature	37.3 ± 0.4	37.1 ± 0.4	37.0 ± 0.3	37.1 ± 0.3	NS	NS	NS
Systolic blood pressure	158 ± 19	159 ± 28	167 ± 22	171 ± 28	NS	NS	NS
Diastolic blood pressure	99 ± 14	107 ± 19	103 ± 17	112 ± 11	NS	NS	NS

Data are mean ± SD of n = 3–6 per group. Data were analyzed by 2-way analysis of variance. LA contributed 5.2 and 0.4 % of calories in adequate and low LA diets, respectively
