HDHA is an autoxidation product of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
in vitro.
1,2 It is also produced from incubations of DHA in rat liver, brain, and intestinal microsomes.
3,4,5 (±)10-
HDHA is a potential marker of oxidative stress in brain and retina where DHA is an abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid.
