  3. DPA Docosapentaenoic Acid 22:5 n-3

  4. Rationale for Research/Health Interest in Dietary Docosapentaenoic Acid (DPA, 22:5n-3) 1.) Is a substantial component of the Greenland Inuit diet rich in marine mammals (Bang et al., AJCN, 33:2657-2661, 1980) and diet of Inuit in northern Quebec. 2.) Fish oils enriched in EPA/DHA (low DPA) and seal oils contain EPA/DHA plus significant levels of DPA. 3.) DPA levels in serum phospholipid have been inversely correlated with coronary heart disease risk (Simon et al., Am. J. Epid., 142:469-476, 1995). 4.) Might DPA offer any potential benefits with respect to CVD/cardioprotection?

  7. Comparison of n-3 Fatty Acid Compositions of Serum Phospholipid in Postmenopausal Women (mean ± SEM) * Canada Greenland * * DPA (22:5n-3) DHA (22:6n-3) EPA (20:5n-3) Ref: Stark et al., Nutrition, 18: 627-630, 2002.

  8. Epidemiological/Population Studies 1.) Higher levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA, 22:5 n-3) in serum phospholipid have been associated with decreased coronary heart disease risk. (Simon et al., Am. J. Epidemiol., 142: 469-476, 1995.) 2.) Higher levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 n-3) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA, 22:5 n-3) in platelet phospholipid have been associated with reduced coronary artery disease (Hodgson et al., AJCN, 58:228-234, 1993).

  9. Relative Risk of Acute Coronary Events in Relation to Serum DHA and DPA Levels 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 Relative Risk (RR) 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 <2.38 2.38-2.73 2.74-3.07 3.08-3.58 >3.58 DHA + EPA as % of total serum fatty acids Ref: Rissanen et al., Circulation, 102: 2677-2679, 2000.

  12. Effects of Dietary Consumption of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Physiological DPA (22:5n-3) Status* Dietary Fatty Acids/OilsDPA Status 1) α–LNA (flax, canola) 2) EPA + DHA (fish oils) 3) EPA alone 4) DHA alone 5) EPA + DHA + DPA (seal oil) *Based on DPA (22:5n-3) levels in human serum/platelet phospholipid.

  13. Common Dietary Sources (N. Am.) of DPA (22:5 n-3) in Cellular Phospholipid 1.) α–LNA (18:3 n-3): via desaturation/elongation (approx. 150mg/day of DPA generated per 1.5g α-LNA/diet) 2.) EPA (20:5 n-3): via elongation (<50mg/day of DPA generated) 3.) DPA (22:5n-3): direct consumption (approx. 18mg/day in N. Am. and approx. 1,000-3,000 mg/day in Greenland Inuit) 4.) DHA (22:6n-3): via retroconversion (<50mg/day of DPA generated)
