Docosapentaenoic acid C22:5w3
Explanation: Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that plays a crucial role in heart health, brain function, and inflammation regulation. It is found in fatty fish, fish oil supplements. DPA also helps enhance omega-3 benefits by supporting cardiovascular function, immune health, and cellular repair.
Test purpose: A DPA blood test helps assess:
- Cardiovascular health, as DPA helps reduce inflammation and improve heart function.
- Brain and cognitive function, since omega-3s, including DPA, are crucial for mental clarity and neuroprotection.
- Inflammatory balance, as DPA plays a role in reducing chronic inflammation and supporting immune health.
- Omega-3 status and dietary intake, particularly in individuals following low-fat or plant-based diets.
