Docosahexaenoic acid (all cis-4,7,10,13,16,19; DHA) is an essential fatty acid found in fish oil. DHA and other essential fatty acids are necessary for synthesis of prostaglandins, which play roles in homeostatic functions and inflammatory responses. DHA methyl ester may be involved in the formation of protein adducts during aging and aging-related diseases.
