Polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in retinal and cerebral microvascular endothelial cells.
Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3), an n-3 essential fatty acid derived from elongation and desaturation of linolenic acid (18:3n-3), is found in abundant proportion in the brain and the retina. It is generally assumed that the liver is the major source of 22:6n-3 for these organs, although some retinal...
