ARA, DPA, and DHA content in the brain tissue of animals fed diets with adequate or deficient amounts of ω3-PUFAs.

Abstract

<p>Fractions correspond to the five normal phase LC fractions described previously [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0164326#pone.0164326.ref018" target="_blank">18</a>]. GC/MS determinations were made as described in methods. LC/MS/MS results are the sum of all data in Figs <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0164326#pone.0164326.g001" target="_blank">1</a>–<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0164326#pone.0164326.g003" target="_blank">3</a>. Uncertainties for the five fractions are standard deviations of 6 measurements. Uncertainties for the fraction totals were calculated according to the variance sum law. All units are nmoles/gm tissue wet weight.</p
