Notes: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ethyl ester is an esterified form of the ω-3 fatty acid DHA (Item Nos. 90310 / 17950). DHA ethyl ester increases plasma and erythrocyte membrane DHA levels in rats without altering the content of the ω-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (Item Nos. 90010 / 90010.1 / 10006607) when administered in the diet at a dose equivalent to 8 mg/kg of DHA.{16510} 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.{67237} Formulations containing DHA ethyl ester, in combination with EPA ethyl ester, have been used as adjuncts in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia.
