Figure 2

Increased 17β-estradiol levels in the brain by DHA dietary supplementation. Mice were fed a diet containing soybean oil, cottonseed oil or cottonseed oil supplemented with DHA for 28 days. The cerebral cortex was then removed, and the 17β-estradiol levels were determined by EIA. The values represent the mean ± S.E. (n = 7 animals in each group). Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test. *P < 0.05 vs. soybean oil group, ##P < 0.01 vs. cottonseed oil group.
