Description

Docosahexaenoic Acid-d5 (DHA-d5) contains five deuterium atoms at the 21, 21, 22, 22 and 22 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of DHA by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. DHA is an essential fatty acid and the most abundant ω-3 fatty acid in neural tissues, especially in the retina and brain. DHA constitutes as much as 40% of the total polyunsaturated fatty acid pool in retinal and neuronal membranes.1 Supplementation of dietary DHA using fish oil inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis and delays photoreceptor degeneration in retinitis pigmentosa.2 Neonatal DHA deprivation causes developmental defects and can lead to hypertension in rats.3

FAQs

It appears that there is a heterogenous mixture of deuterated species in your deuterated standards; is this normal?

Yes, this is typical of our deuterated products. Our deuterated products contain less than 1 % d0. However, the labeled compounds are not 100% of the deuterated form listed on our product insert. For example, upon analysis of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol-d8 it is expected to see masses associated with the d7, d6, d5 etc.
