My study showed that Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), a major dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, inhibited cell death and promoted electro-physiological activity in cultured neuronal cells. The free fatty acid form was more effective than DHA-phospholipids and DHA-nanoliposomes. This study provides insights into the beneficial effects of dietary omega-3 fatty acids.
