Injury-induced reduction in disc hydration is attenuated in rats receiving n-3 FA diet. (A) Representative T2-weighted and proton density images of the n-3 FA diet and control diet groups pre- and 1-month post-surgery. (B) Shows relative high signal NP area values of T2-weighted images. Data were normalized to pre-surgery/pre-diet scans. n=≥6 per group. n-3 FA – omega-3 fatty acids; NP – nucleus pulposus.
