In this study male Wistar Kyoto rats maintained on diets enriched with coconut, fish or olive oil were compared with animals receiving normal diet for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks of dietary regimen, and while on respective diets, animals were exposed to air or 0.8 ppm ozone for 4 hours per day for 2 consecutive days and necropsies were performed post air or ozone exposure within 2 hours. Body weights, food consumption and body composition were assessed during dietary regimen. At necropsy, livers were stained for lipids, serum lipids and metabolic hormones were assessed, and liver, muscle and adipose tissues are assessed for gene expression using targeted Illumina sequencing for selected genes. Based on reviewers comments during revision period, circulating n-3, n-6, n-9 and unsaturated fatty acids were assessed in the serum through collaboration with Jenifer I. Fenton and Travis Goeden, Michigan State University where samples were shipped for analysis of these lipids using mass spectrometry. These data were incorporated in the manuscript (Table 1) and part of figure 3.
