Anxiolytic-Like Actions of Fatty Acids Identified in Human Amniotic Fluid

Table 1

Fatty acid concentrations contained in volume administered to each rat. The fatty acid concentrations contained in 1 mL of the artificial FAT mixture correspond to the proportion found in human amniotic fluid [14, 24].
