General description

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with 22 carbons and six double bonds. The first double bond occurring at position three from the methyl terminus (22:6 n-3). DHA is a component of phospholipid membranes and the myelin sheath. It is the most abundant PUFA found in the brain and localized predominantly to the gray matter.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) exhibits various physiological processes such as regulating signal transduction pathways, neurotransmission, production of neurons and formation of myelin sheath around the axon. It is also associated with the membrane receptor function and synaptic plasticity. DHA supports membrane integrity, fluidity and organization. It is also found to be involved in neuroinflammation. DHA plays a vital role in the development and maturation of the brain. 17(S)-HDHA (hydroxy docosahexaenoic acid) can serve as a precursor for specialized pro-resolving mediators (D-series).

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the predominant omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) found in the brain and can affect neurological function by modulating signal transduction pathways, neurotransmission, neurogenesis, myelination, membrane receptor function, synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation, membrane integrity and membrane organization.
