Description | Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid and an omega-3 fatty acid abundant in brain and retina. |
In vitro | When monocytes were differentiated to dendritic cells (DCs) in the presence of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the expression of costimulatory and antigen presentation markers was altered in a concentration-dependent way, positively or negatively, depending on the markers tested and the maturation stage of the DCs. DHA-treated, mature DCs showed inhibition of IL-6 expression and IL-10 and IL-12 secretion, and their lymphoproliferative stimulation capacity was impaired [1]. |
In vivo | An experimental model of PD was created by four intraperitoneal injections of MPTP (4 × 20 mg/kg, at 12h intervals). Docosahexaenoic acid was given daily by gavage for 4 weeks (36 mg/kg/day). The number of apoptotic dopaminergic cells significantly increased in MPTP-treated mice compared to controls. Although DHA significantly diminished the number of cell deaths in MPTP-treated mice, it did not improve the decreased motor activity observed in the experimental PD model. Docosahexaenoic acid significantly diminished the amount of cell death in the MPTP+DHA group as compared to the MPTP group [2]. |
