Response to the Letter to the Editor

摘要

Dear John Oliver, et al.: Thank you for taking interest in our article (1). We appreciate the fact you took time to read and comment on it. We certainly agree with your statement that "Animal models of traumatic brain injury (TBI) clearly demonstrate that ω-3 administration before (2) and after (3) insult confers neuroprotective qualities," as evidenced by our statement in the article, "The potential neuroprotective benefits of omega-3s are evident from animal studies demonstrating that supplementation before or after TBI protects the brain by limiting structural damage to the axon and neuronal apoptosis."
