DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)

Intracellular DHA delivery promote persistent synaptic plasticity and neuroprotection in the hippocampus:

  • BDNF-induced synaptogenesis is enhanced by intracellular DHA delivery to neural stem/progenitor cells
  • CREB activation may protect neurons from glutamate excitoxicity and neuroinflammation.

DHA increase CREB function by upregulation of mature BDNF (mBDNF) levels:

  • mBDNF activate the TrkB receptor and decrease the excitability of GABAergic interneurons. [1]

Neuroprotective properties of DHA:

  • DHA is neuroprotective and controlled by the P2X7 purinoreceptor. [2]
  • DHA exert proneurogenic functions on activated microglia cells. [3]
  • heteromeric activation of CB1 receptor by DHA is synaptogenic and neuroprotective to neurons.

DHA and vitamin D control of serotonin synthesis

DHEA (N-docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide)

  • Ethanolamide metabolite of DHA.
  • Derivative of anandamide.
  • A synaptogenic endocannabinoid with antiglutamatergic and neuroprotective effects that induce synaptogenesis in vivo. [4]
