Characterization of Mice Ubiquitously Overexpressing Human 15-Lipoxygenase-1: Effect of Diabetes on Peripheral Neuropathy and Treatment with Menhaden Oil
Figure 6
Effects of nerve growth factor (NGF), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), or resolvin D1 (50 nM) on neurite growth by dorsal root ganglion neurons derived from wild-type and 15-LOX-1 transgenic mice. Dorsal root ganglion neurons were collected and cultured as described in Section 2. Afterwards, the effects of nerve growth factor (50 ng/ml), docosahexaenoic acid (40 μM), eicosapentaenoic acid (40 μM), or resolvin D1 (50 nM) on neurite outgrowth were determined. Data are presented as the in μm per neuron. The number of mice used per group ranged from 10 to 12. compared to their respective basal; compared to their respective basal.
