In mice with surgical MI, the DHA pretreatment was associated with a different inflammation pattern compared to the CD group. Cardiac (a) CCL2 and (b) CCL3 chemokine mRNA expressions were analyzed in the murine myocardium of native, sham, and MI-exposed mice that were CD or DHA supplemented. FACS analyses of cardiac neutrophil and macrophage populations in (c) CD or (d) DHA and phenotyping of macrophages in (e) CD- or (f) DHA-supplemented mice 3 d after MI. MAC-2 staining of representative histological left ventricular sections of cardiac macrophages in (g) CD- or (h) DHA-supplemented mice 7 d after MI and quantification (i) n = 7 mice per group, ^∗P < 0.05.
