Figure 9. n‐3 PUFA supplementation decreases apnoeas duration and has no effect on heart rate in anaesthetized pups during laryngeal chemoreflex (LCR) stimulation.

Figure 9

A, original recordings illustrating minute ventilation (red traces) and LCR stimulation in pups that received n ‐3 PUFA supplementation and controls (CTRL). B, mean of apnoeas duration elicited by LCR. C, mean of minimum saturation observed after LCR. D, mean of minimum heart rate observed after LCR. Histograms represent responses observed in pups that received n ‐3 PUFA supplementation (black bar) and CTRL (white bar). Males and females were analysed together because there were no sex‐specific differences for these variables. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Post hoc pairwise comparisons were performed only when warranted by ANOVA. Significantly different from CTRL: * P ≤ 0.05.
