- Data are the mean ± SEM.
- *: mean values significantly different from n-3/+ mice (P < 0.05, Student's t-test).
- #: mean values significantly different from n-3/- mice (P < 0.05, Student's t-test).
- -3/+: mice fed with a control diet (n = 9), n-3/+ FOS: mice fed a control diet and supplemented with a prebiotic for 24 days (n = 10), n-3/-: mice fed an n-3 PUFA-depleted diet (n = 12), n-3/- FOS: mice fed an n-3 PUFA-depleted diet and supplemented with a prebiotic for 24 days (n = 12).
- The results have been partly reported in reference 20.
