Fig. 3

Morphological evaluation of sheep RBCs treated for 4 h in vitro at 37 °C with different concentrations of PUFAs-ω3 and PUFAs-ω6. In Fig. 3A the % damaged RBCs are reported for the CTRL, and the highest concentrations of PUFAs-ω3 and PUFAs-ω6 (250 and 300 µg/mL), and the ratio ω3/ω6 of 1:2 (100/200 µg/mL) and 1:4 (25/100 µg/mL). Uppercase letters indicate significant differences, between groups: p < 0.001 (one-way ANOVA). Figure 3B and C show microscopic images of healthy and damaged RBCs, respectively. White arrows indicate examples of damaged erythrocytes (Fig. 3C)
