Docosahexaenoic acid and the preterm infant [PDF]
Maternal Health, Neonatology and Perinatology, 2017 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) that has a role in the cognitive and visual development, as well as in the immune function of newborns.

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2016 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain, highly unsaturated omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid. It has a structure that gives it unique physical and functional properties. DHA is metabolically related to other n-3 fatty acids: it can be synthesised from the plant essential fatty acid α-linolenic acid (ALA).

Docosahexaenoic acid: one molecule diverse functions [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2016 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. It plays an important role in improving antioxidant and cognitive activities of the brain.

Linking low docosahexaenoic acid intake to Alzheimer’s disease: caution recommended [PDF]
Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2007 Prospective cohort studies and animal models support the concept that low docosahexaenoic acid intake is implicated in the etiology or progression of Alzheimer’s disease. However, other studies crucial to this relationship are less encouraging.

Effect of dietary docosahexaenoic acid on biosynthesis of docosahexaenoic acid from alpha-linolenic acid in young ratss⃞ [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2008 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a crucial nervous system n-3 PUFA, may be obtained in the diet or synthesized in vivo from dietary α-linolenic acid (LNA).

Brain docosahexaenoic acid uptake and metabolism
Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2018 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the most abundant n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid in the brain where it serves to regulate several important processes and, in addition, serves as a precursor to bioactive mediators. Given that the capacity of the brain to synthesize DHA locally is appreciably low, the uptake of DHA from circulating lipid pools is essential

Health benefits of docosahexaenoic acid and its bioavailability: A review
Food Science & Nutrition, 2021 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the predominant omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid found in human brain and eyes. There are a number of studies in the literature showing the health benefits of DHA.
