Table 1 Effects of maternal dietary (n-3) PUFA treatment on liver fatty acid composition of 1st-litter neonatal female rats

From: Maternal diet of polyunsaturated fatty acid altered the cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of hippocampus and influenced glutamatergic and serotoninergic systems of neonatal female rats

  1. Liver FA Composition was expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5-6 per group). Data were analyzed by variance (ANOVA) for multiple comparisons followed by TUKEY or Dunnett’s t test for post-hoc test. ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05 vs. Control
