Fish oils in the diet have anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits due to an abundance of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).1 DHA is the most abundant ω-3 PUFA in neural tissues, especially in the retina and brain. DHA ethyl ester (DHA-EE) is the stabilized ethyl ester form of the ω-3 22:6 fatty acid. Dietary intake of DHA-EE enhances maze-learning ability in old mice.2 In rats, dietary DHA-EE increases plasma and erythrocyte membrane DHA levels without altering the content of the ω-6 arachidonic acid.3 Dietary DHA-EE increases fatty acid oxidation enzymes in rats4 and, in humans with peroxisomal disorders, improves vision, liver function, muscle tone and social contact.5 The ω-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) competitively inhibits the metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase enzymes,6 suggesting that DHA-EE may also directly modulate the actions of enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism.
