Description

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid and the most abundant ω-3 fatty acid in neural tissues, especially in the retina and brain. DHA constitutes as much as 40% of the total polyunsaturated fatty acid pool in retinal and neuronal membranes. Supplementation of dietary DHA using fish oil inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis and impedes photoreceptor degeneration in retinitis pigmentosa. Neonatal DHA deprivation causes developmental defects and can lead to hypertension in rats. DHA methyl ester is an ester version of the free acid which is less water soluble, but more ammenable for the formulation of fatty acid-containing diets and dietary supplements.
