Differential incorporation of docosahexaenoic and arachidonic acids in frog retinal pigment epithelium.
Vertebrate retinas contain a high level of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) and a relatively low level of arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6). Although it is not known how DHA is selectively concentrated in the retina, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is intimately involved in this process as thes...
