Docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester
Docosahexaenoic Acid Alternate Form
Docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester is a concentrated ethyl ester of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), derived from microalgal oil. This compound plays a significant role in enhancing neuronal damage induced by 6-hydroxydopamine through the induction of lipid peroxidation in the mouse striatum. As a critical component of cell membranes, DHA exhibits neuroprotective effects, making it valuable for research in neurobiology and oxidative stress studies.
