N-3 PUFA enriched diet induces innate airway hyperreactivity. BALB/c mice were fed a fish oil diet (FO) or an isocaloric control diet (CO) for 8 weeks. Pulmonary function testing was performed on anaesthetized and tracheotomized mice using a mouse pulmonary function system (Scireq). (a) Airway resistance (Rn) with increasing doses of methacholine. (b) Static compliance (Cst). (c) Inspiratory capacity (IC). Data are means ± SEM of 7 animals per group. **p < 0.001. Shown are results of ANOVA (Rn) or unpaired T-test (Cst, IC).
