Figure 1: Neovessel volumes from rats fed ω-3-PUFA deficient and adequate diets. (A) Representative red channel projections (neovessels) from animals with DHA deficient and DHA adequate diets. Bottom right depicts lesion volumes. (B) Box and whisker representation: Neovessel volumes from DHAdeficient and DHA-adequate diets; n = number of lesions; lesions came from 4 animals (deficient), and from 5 animals (adequate). Adequate diets yielded lesions with a median volume 63% smaller than those of deficient diets. Each point represents the mean value of a triplicate measurement. Dotted horizontal lines represent median values of neovessel volume for rats with DHA deficient and DHA adequate diets.
