Table 3.

Fatty acid composition in the cortex, hippocampus, and liver of mice after 8-week NL treatment. The values are expressed as the mean ± SD. Statistical differences between the control and nanoliposome groups for each fatty acid are shown for each tissue (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
