Dietary α-linolenic acid increases brain docosahexaenoic acid content. a Lipid analysis of the brain samples of mice revealed that mice on adequate α-linolenic acid (ALA) diet had more docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3), less arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6), n-6 docosatetraenoic acid (22:4n-6), and n-6 docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-6; 22:5n-6) in the brain compared to mice on low ALA diet. b, c Mice on adequate ALA diet had lower ratio of DPAn-6 to DHA (b) as well as AA to DHA (c) compared to low ALA diet mice. n = 4 each. ***p < 0.001 vs low ALA diet group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD
