Dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) downregulates liver DHA synthesis by inhibiting eicosapentaenoic acid elongation [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research
DHA is abundant in the brain where it regulates cell survival, neurogenesis, and neuroinflammation. DHA can be obtained from the diet or synthesized from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3) via a series of desaturation and elongation reactions occurring ...

Maresin biosynthesis and identification of maresin 2, a new anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediator from human macrophages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Maresins are a new family of anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators biosynthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by macrophages. Here we identified a novel pro-resolving product, 13R,14S-dihydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid (13R,14S-diHDHA ...

Engineering docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in Brassica juncea. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J, 2022
Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 LC-PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are important for human health. Sub-optimal levels of ω3 LC-PUFAs are associated with increased risk of several diseases (Ghasemi Fard et al., 2019).

Research Progress of Mitochondrial-Mediated Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Antioxidation

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) for human body, which is highly rich in deep sea fish oil and marine microalgae. Mitochondria are the energy factory of cells. Mitochondrial functions and biogenesis can

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 ...

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.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and hepatic gene transcription [PDF]

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2008
The type and quantity of dietary fat ingested contributes to the onset and progression of chronic diseases, like diabetes and atherosclerosis. The liver plays a central role in whole body lipid metabolism and responds rapidly to changes in dietary fat composition.
