Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/omega-3-fats/ | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24352849 | https://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ProductsIngredients/Products/ucm134064.htm

Doconexent (Docosahexaenoic acid, DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component of the human brain, cerebral cortex, skin, and retina. DHA is widely used as a food supplement, and is beleived to support healthy brain development in young childred, prevent cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline during Alzheimer's disease. Most of these claims, however, were not supported by clinical trials. DHA spray is used as a tanner.

Sample Use Guides

Doconexent is administered with food or as an oral supplement, or topically with food.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
DHA reduces calcium uptake in rat cardiac myocytes exposed to oubain (0.1 mM) after incubation for 4 days with 5 uM DHA added to medium. Calcium uptake was measured after addition of tracer 45Ca2+ to the 1.0 mM calcium in the bathing medium.
