Eicosanoid concentration per mg. creatinine, measured in early morning spot urine collection before and after DHA administration. Data shown as mean (+/- SD).

F2-IsoPs=F2-isoprostanes

PGI-M=2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1a.

PGE-M =Prostaglandin E2 metabolite (9,15-dioxo-11α-hydroxy-13,14-dihydro-2,3,4,5-tetranor- prostan-1,20-dioic acid)

PGD-M = Prostaglandin D2 metabolite (9α-hydroxy-11,15-dioxo-13,14-dihydro-2,3,4,5-tetranor- prostan-1,20-dioic acid)

LTE4 = Leukotriene E4
