Menhaden oil, but not safflower or soybean oil, aids in restoring the polyunsaturated fatty acid profile in the novel delta-6-desaturase null mouse

Table 1 Mean weight gain and diet consumption

Diet	Genotype	n	Mean Weight Gain (g)*	Mean Diet Consumed (g)*
Safflower	WT	7	6.2 ± 1.9	71.8 ± 4.6
	KO	7	4.7 ± 1.7	70.16 ± 5.45
Soy	WT	5	4.6 ± 2.2	71.3 ± 5.7
	KO	3	5.1 ± 1.0	71.6 ± 6.0
Menhaden	WT	4	6.6 ± 1.6	75.6 ± 4.1
	KO	1	5.6 ± 1.9	78.9**

Note: *Weight gain is calculated from day on which mice were placed on experimental diet until day mice were terminated. Diet consumption was calculated from day mice were placed on experimental diet to Day 25.**Diet consumption data available for one mouse.
