Conservation of Docosahexaenoic Acid in the Retina
1992Over 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.

The cardiovascular protective role of docosahexaenoic acid
European Journal of Pharmacology, 1996Dietary fish oils rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can modulate a diverse range of factors contributing to cardiovascular disease. This study examined the relative roles of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n-3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3; DHA) which are the principal n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids regarded as candidates for ...

Immunomodulation of microglia by docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2012The 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, 2001AbstractAn 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

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.

Docosahexaenoic acid: A valuable nutraceutical?
Trends in Food Science & Technology, 1996Abstract A high content of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the brain and retina is important for proper nervous system and visual functions. Although it is difficult to deplete the mammalian nervous system of its essential fatty acids, particularly in adults, a well-balanced intake of both w-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) appears to be ...

Monitoring the oxidation of docosahexaenoic acid in lipids
Lipids, 2005AbstractThe 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, 2001Docosahaxaenoic 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.
