An extraordinary degree of structural specificity is required in neural phospholipids for optimal brain function: n‐6 docosapentaenoic acid substitution for docosahexaenoic acid leads to a loss in spatial task performance
TL;DR: In conclusion, DPAn‐6 could not replace DHA for brain function, indicating a highly specific structural requirement for DHA.

Intakes of Dietary Docosahexaenoic Acid Ethyl Ester and Egg Phosphatidylcholine Improve Maze-Learning Ability in Young and Old Mice
Sun-Young Lim,Hiramitsu Suzuki +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the intake of DHA-EE and the egg-PC diet effectively enhances maze-learning ability and brain functions in old mice.

Changes in Maze Behavior of Mice Occur after Sufficient Accumulation of Docosahexaenoic Acid in Brain
Sun-Young Lim,Hiramitsu Suzuki +1 more
TL;DR: It may take time after the incorporation of DHA into the brain for improvement in learning ability to occur, and significantly greater DHA levels were observed in the plasma and brain total lipids of the mice fed the DHA-EE diet after 2 wk, compared with those fed the control diet.

Where Does the Developing Brain Obtain Its Docosahexaenoic Acid? Relative Contributions of Dietary α-Linolenic Acid, Docosahexaenoic Acid, and Body Stores in the Developing Rat
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that preformed DHA in the diet markedly decreased the amount of biosynthesized DHA that accumulated in the brain and the liver in animals that are fed LNA as the only source of n-3 fatty acids.

Bone mineral content is positively correlated to n-3 fatty acids in the femur of growing rats.
TL;DR: DHA accumulates in the osteoblast-rich and nerve-abundant periosteum of femur; DHA but not EPA appears to be a vital constituent of marrow and periouth of healthy modelling bone; and both DHA and total n-3 PUFA strongly correlate to BMC.
