Figure 3From: Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid improves spatial learning and hippocampal Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPARα and PPARγ) gene expression in ratsExpression of PPARα in the brain of treatment groups compared to CTRL group. Triplicates of real-time PCR were performed for each sample. Values were normalized with a housekeeping gene, β-actin. Then, treated samples were expressed relative to gene expression of CTRL group. Statistical analysis was perfomed using a Student’s t test. Values are means ± 1 standard error bar. Values indicated by * show significant differences compared with the CTRL group (P<0.05). CTRL: control, LMO: low menhaden oil, HMO: high menhaden oil.Back to article page
