VLCFA levels in the adrenal of Lorenzo's oil treated abcd1 KO mice. Erucic acid (C22:1ω9; the active ingredient of Lorenzo's oil) and saturated VLCFA levels were measured. The y-axis represents the percentage of total fatty acids. n, number of samples measured. s.d. of measurements is indicated by error bars. For adrenal VLCFA levels of abcd1 KO mice before and after one month of Lorenzo's oil the P-values for C22:1ω9, C22:0, C24:0 and C26:0 were <0.005, 0.009, 0.445 and 0.034, respectively.
