DHA is an essential fatty acid and the most abundant ω-3 fatty acid in neural tissues, especially in the retina and brain. 17-keto-4(Z),7(Z),10(Z),13(Z),15(E),19(Z)-docosahexaenoic acid is a metabolite of lipoxygenase-mediated oxidation of DHA that is produced endogenously by aspirin-enhanced COX-2 activity. It has been shown to activate Nrf2-dependent antioxidant gene expression, to act as a PPARγ agonist (EC50 ~200 nM), and to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine and nitric oxide production at biological concentration ranges (5-25 uM).
