DHA in traditional fish oil capsules is typically in triacylglycerol docosahexaenoic acid (TAG-DHA) form, which cannot access the retina. However, the scientists were able to successfully create a lysophospholipid form of DHA, known as LPC-DHA, which can enter the retina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In laboratory tests conducted on mice, LPC-DHA showed an overall improvement of 96% in retinal DHA content, and also preserved retinal structure and function. This breakthrough may have far-reaching implications, as LPC-DHA may be able to help prevent visual function declines associated with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, as well as other disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Overall, this development may have significant implications for individuals struggling with visual declines due to various disorders. As LPC-DHA can enter the retina, it has the potential to be much more effective than traditional fish oil capsules. These findings represent a promising step in the field of omega-3 fatty acid research and could lead to new treatments and therapies to improve vision in those with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and other related conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Source<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/nutraceuticalbusinessreview.com\/news\/article_page\/New_form_of_omega-3_shows_promise_helping_visual_decline_with_Alzheimers_disease\/208158\">https:\/\/nutraceuticalbusinessreview.com\/news\/article_page\/New_form_of_omega-3_shows_promise_helping_visual_decline_with_Alzheimers_disease\/208158<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>A group of researchers have developed a new form of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, that can enter the retina and prevent visual declines related to Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, diabetes, and other disorders.
