“For subjects consuming the DPA supplement, the concentrations of both DPA and EPA were significantly increased in RBC PL over a 6-day period, respectively.”
“Dihomogammalinolenic [20:3(n-6)], docosapentaenoic [22:5(n-3)], and docosahexaenoic [22:6(n-3)] acid contents were significantly higher in brain phospholipids of offspring born to ID dams.”
“Docosahexaenoic acid was 55-65% lower and (n-6) docosapentaenoic acid [22:5(n-6)] was 150-225% higher in brain phospholipids at embryonic day 19 in the (n-3) deficient (n = 6 litters) than in the control (n = 5 litters) group.”
“A diet containing 5% of fatty acids as n-3 fatty acids increased phospholipid levels of eicospentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid ( DPA ) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) several-fold, but with a further reduction in 20:4n-6.”
