Dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as lysophosphatidylcholine, but not as free acid, enriches brain DHA and improves memory in adult mice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is uniquely concentrated in the brain, and is essential for its function, but must be mostly acquired from diet. Most of the current supplements of DHA, including fish oil and krill oil, do not significantly increase brain DHA,

Pro-resolving and pro-inflammatory fatty acid-derived mediators in sputum of stable state bronchiectasis patients

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Bronchiectasis is characterized by neutrophilic inflammation and frequent exacerbations often associated with infections. Lipid mediators play critical roles in the inflammatory response, and the balance between anti-inflammatory and pro ...

Ceramide is a Mediator of Apoptosis in Retina Photoreceptors [PDF]

, 2006
PURPOSE. The precise mechanisms involved in photoreceptor apoptosis are still unclear. We here investigated the role of ceramide, a sphingolipid precursor that induces apoptosis upon cellular stress, in activating this death in photoreceptors.

Evaluation of the impact of genetic polymorphisms in glutathione-related genes on the association between methylmercury or n-3 polyunsaturated long chain fatty acids and risk of myocardial infarction: a case-control study

Environmental Health, 2011
Background The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are present in fish, are protective against myocardial infarction.

Three-year tracking of fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipids in healthy children [PDF]

, 2007
Objectives: The fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipids reflects the dietary fatty acid intake as well as endogenous turnover. We aimed at investigating the potential tracking of plasma phospholipid fatty acid composition in children that ...

Docosahexaenoic acid: one molecule diverse functions

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2017
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6, ω-3) is a highly polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. It is concentrated in neuronal brain membranes, for which reason it is also referred to as a “brain food”. DHA is essential for brain development and function.

Unesterified docosahexaenoic acid is protective in neuroinflammation [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2013
AbstractDocosahexaenoic acid (22:6n‐3) is the major brain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid and it is possible that docosahexaenoic acid is anti‐inflammatory in the brain as it is known to be in other tissues. Using a combination of models including the fat‐1 transgenic mouse, chronic dietary n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid modulation in transgenic and ...

Fit with good fat? The role of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on exercise performance [PDF]

, 2016
N-3 PUFA (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are a family of fatty acids mainly found in oily fish and fish oil supplements. The effects of n-3 PUFA on health are mainly derived from its anti-inflammatory proprieties and its influence on immune ...

Metabolism and functions of docosahexaenoic acid‐containing membrane glycerophospholipids

FEBS Letters, 2017
Omega‐3 (ω‐3) fatty acids (FAs) such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are known to have important roles in human health and disease.
