Table 1.
Mean ratio of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to omega-3 PUFAs in blood of mice fed a high-DHA diet or control (no DHA) diet for 4 weeks and challenged with saline or HDE.
| Experimental Group | Omega-6 PUFA/Omega-3 PUFA Ratio (95% CI) |
p-Value * |
|---|---|---|
| Control Diet, Saline | 6.20: 1 (3.58:1–8.82:1) | -- |
| Control Diet, HDE | 7.38:1 (4.91:1–9.85:1) | 0.79 |
| DHA Diet, Saline | 2.34:1 (1.15:1–3.52:1) | 0.039 |
| DHA Diet, HDE | 2.36:1 (1.40:1–3.31:1) | 0.021 |
CI: Confidence interval; * p-values based on 2-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons post hoc analysis. Main effect of diet, p < 0.0001.
