DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
DHA supplementation may promote persistent synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus:
- DHA supplementation may enhance activity-dependent synaptic plasticity and cognition by regulating BDNF expression and glutamate release from hippocampal astrocytes. Furthermore, BDNF expression may requires adenosine A2A receptor activation to induce long-term potentiation (LTP). Thus, BDNF-induced synaptogenesis is enhanced by DHA supplementation to neurons, while DHEA may protect neurons from glutamate excitoxicity and inflammation.
- DHA may increase CREB function by upregulation of endogenous BDNF levels.
- ATP-induced CREB phosphorylation mediate synaptic plasticity and LTP through cAMP response element (CRE)-mediated gene induction. PMC PMID
- DHA is neuroprotective and controlled by the P2X7 receptor. PMID
DHEA (N-docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide)
- Ethanolamide metabolite of DHA.
- Derivative of anandamide.
- A novel endocannabinoid with antiglutamatergic and neuroprotective effects that induce synaptogenesis in vivo. PMC
