Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; Item No. 90310) is an essential fatty acid and the most abundant ω-3 fatty acid in neural tissues, especially in the retina and brain.1 (±)19(20)-DiHDPA is one of the major metabolites produced when DHA is incubated with NADPH-supplemented rat liver microsomes.2 DHA is also slowly metabolized by monkey seminal vesicles to (±)19(20)-DiHDPA.3 The route of production likely proceeds through cytochrome P450-catalyzed epoxidation at the ω-3 double bond, followed by conversion to the vicinal diols by epoxide hydrolase.2,3
