Pressure overload and Omega-3 FA supplementation change the proportion of FAs in blood and heart. (a,b) Gas chromatography revealed FA concentration in blood (a) and heart (b) before (0), and 1 and 2 weeks (wks) after TAC surgery. n = 4–6. * p < 0.05 compared between vehicle and Omega-3 EE groups. ^#p < 0.05 compared with vehicle group before TAC, ^†p < 0.05 compared with Omega-3 EE group before TAC. PLA, Palmitic acid. STA, Stearic acid. POA, Palmitoleic acid. OLA, Oleic acid. LLA, Linoleic acid. ARA, Arachidonic acid. LNA, Linolenic acid. EPA, Eicosapentaenoic acid. DPA, Docosapentaenoic acid. DHA, Docosahexaenoic acid. SFA, saturated fatty acid. MUFA, mono-unsaturated fatty acid. PUFA, poly-unsaturated fatty acid.
