Introduction of 2566-90-7 :
Docosahexaenoic Acid methyl ester is a methylated docosahexaenoic acid analog which can be intercalated into membrane phospholipids without being oxidized or hydrolyzed. In Vitro: Sharp wave (SPW) incidence relative to baseline appears to decrease following Docosahexaenoic Acid methyl ester (DHA-Me) application[1]. There is no generation of a new protein band when bovine serum albumin (BSA) is exposed to the Fe2+ and ascorbic acid (AsA) mixed-function oxidation system in the absence of Docosahexaenoic Acid methyl ester (DHA). However, the high-molecular-weight protein band is observed after only 24 h when BSA is incubated with DHA. Incubation of BSA with 1.0 mM DHA leads to a substantial increase in protein carbonyl content and the addition of oxygen radical scavengers leads to a substantial decrease in protein carbonyl content[2].
