The docosahexaenoic acid of marine organisms

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1971
AbstractPreparative gas chromatography has been used for the purification of the highly unsaturated C22 acid present in cod liver. Confirmation that this acid is Δ4,7,10,13,16,19 docosahexaenoic acid has been obtained by purely physicochemical means using NMR and mass spectrometry.

Retroconversion of docosahexaenoic acid in the rat

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1969
Abstract 1. 1. Uniformly 14 C-labeled 4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid was fed to normal rats and to rats at two stages of essential fatty acid deficiency. All groups incorporated about 17% of 14 C fed into liver lipids. Normal rats retroconverted the hexaenoic acid to 7,10,13,16,19-docosapentaenoic and 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acids ...

Conservation of Docosahexaenoic Acid in the Retina

1992
Over the last several years, evidence has accumulated that n-3 fatty acids, particularly 22:6n-3, are essential for the development of the structure and function of the visual system. The importance of 22:6n-3 is reflected in the tenacious manner in which the retina conserves this fatty acid during n-3 deficiency.

Bioactive metabolites of docosahexaenoic acid

Biochimie, 2017
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid that is recognized as a beneficial dietary constituent and as a source of the anti-inflammatory specialized proresolving mediators (SPM): resolvins, protectins and maresins. Apart from SPMs, other metabolites of DHA also exert potent biological effects.

Immunomodulation of microglia by docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2012
The omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FAs) docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid are dietary components which have been ascribed many different health benefits. Inflammation is present in, and contributes to, pathological conditions in the central nervous system (CNS).

The role of docosahexaenoic acid in retinal function

Lipids, 2001
AbstractAn important role for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) within the retina is suggested by its high levels and active conservation in this tissue. Animals raised on n‐3‐deficient diets have large reductions in retinal DHA levels that are associated with altered retinal function as assessed by the electroretinogram (ERG). Despite two decades of research

Docosahexaenoic acid therapy in docosahexaenoic acid‐deficient patients with disorders of peroxisomal biogenesis

Lipids, 1996
AbstractA patient with classic Zellweger syndrome was treated with docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester (DHA‐EE) for three months. Five other patients with Zellweger variants (four of them less than one‐year‐old and a five‐year‐old) were treated with DHA‐EE until normalization of the DHA levels in erythrocytes.

Monitoring the oxidation of docosahexaenoic acid in lipids

Lipids, 2005
AbstractThe oxidation of free DHA, DHA mixed with PC, and DHA incorporated into PC, PE, or TG was evaluated to determine which lipid provided DHA with the best protection against oxidation. DHA was either situated at the sn‐1 position, sn‐2 position, or both positions of the phospholipid, whereas the TG contained DHA at all positions.

Docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid in infant development

Seminars in Neonatology, 2001
Docosahaxaenoic acid and arachidonic acid are highly concentrated in the central nervous system. The amount of these fatty acids in the central nervous system increases dramatically during the last intrauterine trimester and the first year of life.
