DHA
Introduction
DHA is an omega 3 PUFA which has very limited synthesis in the body. In the human body, DHA is derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) via docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) as an intermediate by desaturase enzyme and beta oxidation in peroxisomes (5). During early life, there is limited metabolic capacity to convert ALA to DHA. Thus in fetal life, infancy and early childhood, DHA should be acquired from dietary sources to maintain optimal health (6).
