The omega−3 fatty acid DHA, also known as docosahexaenoic acid, is found in high abundance in the human brain. It is produced by a desaturation process, but humans lack the desaturase enzyme, which acts to insert double bonds at the ω and ω position. Therefore, the ω and ω polyunsaturated fatty acids cannot be synthesized, are appropriately called essential fatty acids, and must be obtained from the diet. In 1964, it was discovered that enzymes found in sheep tissues convert omega−6 arachidonic acid into the"
