Dihomo-gamma linolenic acid (DGLA or 20 3n-6) A 22-carbon, six double-bond fatty acid of the omega-3 family produced in animals via metabohsm of alpha-linolenic acid. DHA is a major component of neural membranes and may be an esscnlial fatty acid during infancy when the newborn s capacity to convert LNA appears limited. DHA is found in hsh and fish oils. [Pg.421]
