A maternal erythrocyte DHA content of approximately 6 g% is the DHA status at which intrauterine DHA biomagnifications turns into bioattenuation and postnatal infant DHA equilibrium is reached [PDF]
Higher long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCP) in infant compared with maternal lipids at delivery is named biomagnification. The decline of infant and maternal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) status during lactation in Western countries suggests maternal depletion.

Efficient Enrichment of Retinal DHA with Dietary Lysophosphatidylcholine-DHA: Potential Application for Retinopathies [PDF]
Although decreased retinal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a known risk factor for retinopathy, currently available omega-3 fatty acid supplements, which are absorbed as triacylglycerol (TAG), do not significantly enrich retinal DHA. We tested the hypothesis that lysophospahtidylcholine (LPC)-DHA which is absorbed as phospholipid, would efficiently ...

Determinants of DHA Incorporation into Tumor Tissue During Dietary DHA Supplementation [PDF]
AbstractDocosahexaenoic acid (DHA), upon incorporation into tumor tissue, has the potential to sensitize tumors to the effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Although DHA has usually been supplied to tumor tissue in the diet, appropriate dietary conditions required to obtain optimal tumor levels have not been established.

Maternal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation and fetal DHA accretion [PDF]
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (C22;6n-3) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is an essential constituent of cell membranes, particularly of the nervous system where it is found in relatively high concentrations in the brain and retina. In this study expectant mothers were supplied with preformed DHA, at a dosage comparable with current dietary ...

Background. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid (FA) mainly involved in cognitive and cardiac functions. Nutritional intake is nevertheless globally insufficient in many countries. Food fortification alternatives should be developed to meet nutritional needs, while avoiding lipid oxidation. Methods.

DHA supplementation alone or in combination with other nutrients does not modulate cerebral hemodynamics or cognitive function in healthy older adults [PDF]
A number of recent trials have demonstrated positive effects of dietary supplementation with the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on measures of cognitive function in healthy ...

DHA-rich oil modulates the cerebral haemodynamic response to cognitive tasks in healthy young adults: a near IR spectroscopy pilot study [PDF]
The impact of dietary n-3 PUFA on behavioural outcomes has been widely researched; however, very little attention has been given to their impact on brain functioning in physiological terms.
