a, b Suppression of traumatic brain injury-induced CCL2 and IL-1β protein expression in mice with higher brain docosahexaenoic acid. Traumatic brain injury caused induction of CCL2 and IL-1β protein expression in the cerebral cortex at the site of injury. The expression of both proteins was lower in mice on adequate α-linolenic acid (ALA) diet compared to the low ALA group. N = 3–4. *p < 0.05 compared to the low ALA diet group for the respective time points. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM
