Iron and DHA in Relation to Early Cognitive Development
Iron and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are important nutrients for brain development. Negative effects of DHA supplementation when status of both nutrients is low have been shown on cognitive outcomes. We sought to determine if DHA status interacts with iron deficiency (ID) and influences offspring …

Elucidating the molecular basis of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) production in Leptospermum nectar
… contains variable amounts of dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a triose sugar that is the precursor to methylglyoxal (MGO), the antimicrobial compound underpinning the high value of mānuka honey and forming the basis of the Aotearoa-New Zealand honey industry. This trait is unique to some species within …

Nutrient-based strategies to enhance docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) utilization in the piglet brain
… neutral lipid (NL) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations were greater (P < 0.05) in T3-fed pigs compared with T1-fed and SR pigs. Hippocampal phospholipid (PL) DHA concentrations of T2- or T3-fed pigs were intermediate to T1-fed and SR piglets. Diffusion tensor imaging, a MRI sequence …

Assessment of the accuracy of DFT (Density Functional Theory) for the photochromic behavior of dihydroazulene (DHA)
… of these fuels. However, for dihydroazulene(DHA) photoactive predictions using different DFT functionals do not match with each other and experiment. Our analysis suggests that lack of error cancelation due to a drastic change in the conjugation in DHA as compared to VHF might account for the …

Neurochemical, epigenetic, and structural brain changes associated with prenatal stress exposure, and the mitigating effects of DHA
… study examines if prenatal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation mitigates autism-related behaviors in stress-exposed SERT-het mice and how it affects lipid peroxidation and brain structure. DHA, an abundant omega-3 fatty acid in mammalian brains, influences brain development and maintenance. …

The relationship between docohexanoic acid (DHA) and L-serine, providing an insight into the biochemistry of meningioma
… enriched with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In this study, the metabolism surrounding lipid biosynthesis was examined to establish if such alterations in lipid profiles were related to an altered state of metabolism. From the results gained, it can be suggested that meningioma does have …

Dual Receptor Uptake of Low-Density Lipoprotein Docosahexaenoic Acid (LDL-DHA) Elicits Differential Sensitivity Across Breast Cancer Subtypes
… for the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The LDL-DHA nanoparticle has demonstrated cancer selective cytotoxicity with little ill effects on healthy cells. Our research began by selecting a panel of breast cancer cell lines representative of the various subtypes of clinical breast …

Impact of Epa and Dha Supplementation and 15-Lox-1 Expression On Colitis and Colitis-Associated Colorectal Cancer
… acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to resolvins, potent anti-inflammatory products. 15-LOX-1 effects on the conversion of EPA and DHA to resolvins that subsequently exert anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic effects have received little attention. To address this knowledge …

Consuming a diet enriched with choline, UMP, and DHA improves memory in rodents when these compounds increase phospholipids
… This treatment involves giving three compounds; DHA, a phosphatide precursor; choline, another phosphatide precursor present in the rodents' diets but not varied in this study; and UMP, a precursor of CTP, the rate-limiting compound in Kennedy Cycle production of phosphatides. Their …

The Effects of Dha Supplementation on Markers of Inflammation and Muscle Damage Following an Acute Eccentric Exercise Bout
… the influence of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on muscle damage and inflammation following an acute eccentric exercise bout. Methods: A double-blind placebo-controlled, study was performed using 41 healthy, untrained males aged 18-28 y who consumed either 2 g/d DHA or placebo (PL, corn oil) …

The Effect of Non-Marine vs. Marine Sources of the Omega-3 Fatty Acids, DHA and EPA, on Serum Lipoproteins
… acid (EPA) and docosahexanaenoic acid (DHA), and has been shown to improve heart health.;Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the cardiovascular effects of non-marine sources of n-3 fatty acids, algae oil (AO) and yeast oil (YO), as compared to fish oil (FO).;Methods: …

DHA-rich fish oil and regular moderate exercise: a combined intervention to improve cardiovascular, metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in obesity.
… of supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) rich fish oil, and regular moderate exercise, on CV, metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. Sedentary, overweight volunteers (BMI > 25kg/m2) with mild hypertension (140/90 – 160/100mmHg), elevated plasma triglycerides (TAG) (>1.6mmol/L) or …

Effect of DHA supplementation on muscle damage and inflammation during the first two weeks of a novice resistance training program
… study was to investigate docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ingestion on muscle damage and inflammation during the first two weeks of a novice resistance training (RT) program. Methods: This study was a placebo-controlled, double-blind design. Forty-one healthy untrained males between the ages of 18 and …

Understanding the spatial dynamics of informal settlements: A spatial analysis case study of Oohambo DHA Nehale in the city of Windhoek
… distribution and expansion of the Oohambo Dha Nehale informal settlement. GIS techniques were applied to aerial photographs taken in 2005, 2008, and 2011 in order to map the distribution of dwellings and spatial patterns, as well as to estimate the spatial expansion. Terrain data was used …

Quantification of fatty acids over the gametogenic cycle of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) with varying dietary levels of DHA, EPA and AA
… diets in which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and arachidonic acid (AA) were increased in a stepwise fashion progressing from diets 1-4 respectively. A significant difference was seen in the tissues between fish from dietary treatment group 1 when compared to …

A discursive historical approach (DHA) to understanding South Africa's leadership aspirations in Africa: state exceptionalism and foreign policy under Mandela and Mbeki
… By employing a Discursive Historical Approach (DHA), the thesis investigates the influence of South African exceptionalism on its' foreign policy in Africa under the presidencies of Mandela (1994-1999) and Mbeki (1999-2008). Analysis will identify the discursive origins of South African …

Depletion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid causes male infertility by disrupting both secretory granule biogenesis and adherens junction assembly in testis
… The long chain omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and omega-6 arachidonic acid (ARA) are highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) preferentially enriched in the sn2 position of membrane phospholipids and ARA is abundant in tissues throughout the body. DHA, however, is preferentially enriched in …
