Docosahexaenoic Acid ethyl ester

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ethyl ester is an esterified form of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (Cay-90310, Cay-17950). DHA ethyl ester increases plasma and erythrocyte membrane DHA levels in rats without altering the content of the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (Cay-90010, Cay-90010.1, Cay-10006607) when administered in the diet at a dose equivalent to 8 mg/kg of DHA. DHA ethyl ester (300 mg/kg per day) reduces the number of reference memory errors in an eight-arm radial maze in 100-week old rats. Formulations containing DHA ethyl ester, in combination with EPA ethyl ester, have been used as adjuncts in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia.Formal Name: 4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid, ethyl ester.
