Effect of dietary oils on intraepidermal nerve fiber density and thermal nociception in DIO Sprague-Dawley rats.

Notes: Intraepidermal nerve fiber density and thermal nociception were examined as described in the “Materials and methods” section. Data are presented as the mean±standard error of mean for intraepidermal nerve fiber profiles per mm and thermal nociception in seconds. The number of rats in each group was the same as shown in Table 1. *p<0.05 compared to control rats; +p<0.05 compared to DIO rats.

Abbreviations: IENF, intraepidermal nerve fiber density; DIO, diet-induced obese; OO, olive oil; SO, safflower oil; FO, flaxseed oil; EPO, evening primrose oil; MO, menhaden oil.
