  1. aMetabolites were confirmed by tR and m/z with authentic chemicals. bThe concentration of potential biomarkers in sera of rats are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. cThe value of F and Sig. was obtained from a one-way ANOVA. The F value is the ratio of the variance between the groups and the variance in the group. F value greater than 1 and Sig. less than 0.05 means the differences between groups were statistically significant. dp values were calculated from the Dunnett’s t-test in multivariate statistical analysis. 16(R)-HETE, 16R-Hydroxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid; EPA, Eicosapentaenoic acid; DPA, Docosapentaenoic acid; 9(S)-HODE, 9S-Hydroxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid; 15S-HETrE, 15(S)-Hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid.
