Description Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil and a major component of excitable membranes of the retina and brain. It decreases the level of blood triglycerides and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disorders. Function: The conversion of α-linolenic acid to its long-chain derivatives EPA and DHA may not be sufficient to maintain optimal body functions. The limited conversion is mainly due to a dramatic change in eating habits during the past 150 years, resulting in increased n-6 PUFA intake and concomitant decrease in n-3 LCPUFA consumption in most industrialized countries. Therefore, the n-6 to n-3 ratio in our diet has changed from 2:1 to about 10 - 20:1. This change accounts for the inadequate biosynthesis of the biologically active n-3 PUFA, EPA, and DHA, as n-6 and n-3 PUFA compete for the same desaturase and elongase enzyme systems.
