HEALTH BENEFITS OF DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID (DHA) [PDF]
Pharmacological Research, 1999 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants. DHA is also required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults. The inclusion of plentiful DHA in the diet improves learning ability, whereas deficiencies of DHA are associated with deficits in learning.

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

Arab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023 Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are two types of omega-3 fatty acids that provide numerous health benefits. It is thus important to gain the recommended daily intake of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid and compensate for ...

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Increased liver content of DHA‐derived small lipid autacoids (i.e resolvin D1 and maresin 1) associates with enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid β‐oxidation and bioenergetic metabolic flux. These features provide hepatic protection from steatotic, pro‐inflammatory and fibrogenic insults.

Effects of diet and/or exercise in enhancing spinal cord sensorimotor learning. [PDF]
, 2012 Given that the spinal cord is capable of learning sensorimotor tasks and that dietary interventions can influence learning involving supraspinal centers, we asked whether the presence of omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and the curry spice ...

Association between high dietary intake of the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid and reduced risk of Crohn's disease [PDF]
, 2014 Background: There are plausible mechanisms for how dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, could prevent Crohn's disease (CD).

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), essentiality and requirements: why and how to provide supplementation
Grasas y Aceites, 2006 Lipids comprize from 50-60% of the structural matter of the brain and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, DHA) is the most important omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid in the brain phospholipids comprizing 25% of the total fatty acids of the grey ...
