Absolute plasma free fatty acid concentration 2 h after pMCAo onset.
Plasma free fatty acids were quantified two hours after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAo), in sham operated, and control animals using a UPLC-MS method against stable isotope labeled internal standards. SFA: the sum of 14:0, 16:0, 18:0, 20:0, 22:0, and 24:0; MUFA: the sum of 16:1n-7, 16:1n-9, 18:1n-7, 18:1n-9, 20:1n-9, and 24:1; PUFA: the sum of 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, 20:4n-6, 22:4n-6, 22:5n-6, and 22:6n-3. Data are mean ± SD (n=4). * - Statistically different (p<0.05) from other groups using ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test.
