The metabolic fate of dietary n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) in mammals is currently unknown. The aim of the present study was to determine the extent of conversion of dietary DPA to DHA and EPA in rats. Four groups of male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 5 weeks) were given 50 mg of DPA, EPA, DHA or oleic acid, daily for 7 d by gavage. At the end of the treatment period, the tissues were a...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of blindness in individuals older than 50 years of age. Studies were carried in patients with dry AMD using high-dose omega-3 fatty acids providing 3.4 g of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 1.6 g of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on a daily basis for 6 months. In patients with dry AMD, significant improvement in vision acuity occurred in 10...
