homeostasis/metabolism
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit enrichment in phospholipid total n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (predominantly docosahexaenoic acid) with lesser contributions to total relative n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid enrichment from 22:5n-3 in the liver, kidney and muscle compared with control mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit a reduction in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid species, 22:5n-6 and 22:4n-6 in the liver, kidney and a small overall decrease in total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid content in the kidney and liver compared with control mice
• tamoxifen treated mice exhibit a small difference in n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio compared with control mice
• however, mice exhibit normal total saturated fatty acid, monounsaturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid
