Mean values ± SEM of TNBS-treated Wt, Het, and Null Fads1 mice ( = 6–9/genotype). All genes were measured within the same samples and expression was normalized to ribosomal 18S (in arbitrary units). For each gene, values not sharing a superscript symbol differ between genotypes (). nd, not detected.
