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 …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain, highly unsaturated omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid. It
has a structure that gives it unique physical and functional properties. DHA is metabolically …

Modern humans have evolved with a staple source of preformed docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) in the diet. An important turning point in human evolution was the discovery of high …

Childhood is a period of brain growth and maturation. The long chain omega-3 fatty acid,
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is a major lipid in the brain recognized as essential for normal …

Abstract Docosahexaenoic acid, 22: 6n-3 (DHA) and its metabolites are vital for the structure
and functional brain development of the fetus and infants, and also for maintenance of …

There is a need to determine whether there is a dietary requirement for docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA, 22: 6n-3) by term infants to achieve their full developmental potential. Studies of …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) enriched in
phospholipids in the brain and retina, is known to play multi-functional roles in brain health …

Abstract The (n-3) fatty acids are essential dietary nutrients, and one of their important roles
is providing docosahexaenoic acid [22: 6 (n-3)](DHA) for growth and function of nervous …

The results of prospective cohort studies indicate that consuming fish or fish oil containing
the n− 3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is …

The ω-3 fatty acids are essential dietary nutrients and one of their important roles is
providing the fatty acid with 22 carbons and 6 double bonds known as docosahexaenoic …
