• Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) • Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) • Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) • Termasuk 3-n HUFA • Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA) • DHA incorporated in lipids, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) dan phosphatidylcholine (PC) Pharmacokinetics study ? • The study of uptake, distribution and excretion of drugs with respect to time • The theoretical and mathematical interpretation of time course of drug concentration in the body 1. Red sea bream, Chrysophrys major, DHA • Passed the blood brain-barrier • Distribute and accumulated in the brain • The absorption and distribution similar in the mamals and other fishes • For normal growth the plasma DHA level was suggested • 21.0 – 40.3 microgram.mL-1 (0.025% of fish body weight .d-1) Other study 2. In rat • DHA composed of phospholipids • In the brain 3. In juvenile turbot • Incorporated (conjugated lipids) into PE, PC and phosphatidyl serine (PS) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) • A deficiency of DHA results in poor development of the central nervous system and could induce improper development of learning ability of fish, including feeding behavior. Other study 4. In larval yellow tail, Seriola quinqueradiata • DHA deficiency inhibit the development of schooling behavior in their juvenile stage • Schooling is an anti predator behavior • DHA is a dominant component of nervous system 5. In Pacific thread fin, Polydactylus sexfilis • HUFA deficiency has negative impact during metamorphosis • Patchiness was formed on day 7-8 posthatch • HUFA AND high-HUFA groups showed schooling behavior at 19 day after hatching • No-HUFA group did not form schooling, high mortality • Other study 6. In humans • DHA was incorporated in in the erythrocyte membrane • Accumulated in the erythrocyte PC and PE Omega () tiga ? • Asam lemak jenuh penamaannya berdasarkan panjangnya rantai karbon • 18 : 2 6 artinya mempunyai 18 rantai karbon, 2 ikatan rangkap, ikatan rangkap pertama terletak pada atom karbon yang ke 6 6 dinamakan rangkaian lemak Linoleic (Linoleic acids) ikatan rangkap yang lebih jenuh dari 3 3 dinamakan rankaian lemak linolenic (linolenic acids) • Hewan darat membutuhkan 3 • Hewan air membutuhkan 6 Kandungan asam lemak 3 dan 6 dalam lemak
