Reduced Plasma Nonesterified Fatty Acid Levels and the Advent of an Acute Lung Injury in Mice after Intravenous or Enteral Oleic Acid Administration
Figure 1
Plasma NEFA concentrations in mice after intravenous OLA injections. (a) Plasma concentrations of palmitoleic, linoleic, palmitic, oleic, and stearic acids 24 h after 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg oleic acid doses (mean ± SEM of 5 different experiments). (b) Total NEFA concentration (sum of average concentrations of the five NEFA). All mice receiving the 160 mg/kg dose died 10–20 minutes after the intravenous injection and could not be computed. (c) Plasma concentrations of palmitoleic, linoleic, palmitic, oleic, and stearic acids 6 h after the injection of the 80 mg/kg oleic acid dose (mean ± SEM of 4 independent experiments). * (versus controls).
