Is Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Essential? Lessons from DHA Status Regulation, Our Ancient Diet, Epidemiology and Randomized Controlled Trials [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2004 The human diet has changed considerably during the last 100 y. One of the striking changes is the tremendous increase in dietary fat. In terms of quality we have increased our intakes of saturated fatty acids (SFA), 2 linoleic acid (LA) and transfatty acids, concomitant with reduced intakes of (n-3) fatty acids.

Docosahexaenoic acid: membrane modification and neurotrophic mechanisms
Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2011 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) is highly enriched in the brain mainly in membrane phospholipids. Maintenance of a high DHA concentration in brain is essential for proper neuronal function, suggesting a unique requirement of this fatty acid for an ...

Acute Hypercapnia/Ischemia Alters the Esterification of Arachidonic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid Epoxide Metabolites in Rat Brain Neutral Lipids. [PDF]
, 2020 In the brain, approximately 90% of oxylipins are esterified to lipids. However, the significance of this esterification process is not known. In the present study, we (1) validated an aminopropyl solid phase extraction (SPE) method for separating ...
