Changes in whole blood levels of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids after high DHA diet and three-week repetitive HDE exposure at three weeks and after the recovery period. Mice were fed DHA or control diets for four weeks before commencing three-week repetitive 12.5% HDE exposure. At the end of three-week exposure, blood was collected, and fatty acid levels of (A) DHA, (B) EPA, (C) DPA, (D) ALA, (E) ARA and (F) LA were determined by GC-FID as described in Methods. Left and right panels show data for 3-week and recovery periods, respectively. Data are mean ± standard error of the mean, n=7-8 for saline control and DHA alone groups (no HDE exposure) and n=11-13 mice for HDE and DHA+HDE groups. * P<.05, ** P<.01, *** P<.001, **** P<.0001.

ALA=alpha-linolenic acid, ARA=arachidonic acid, DHA=docosahexaenoic acid, DPA=docosapentaenoic acid, EPA=eicosapentaenoic acid, GC-FID=gas chromatography-flame ionization detector, HDE=hog dust extract, LA=linoleic acid.
