食魚會使人變得更聰明,這句說話很大程度上可能是建基於不少魚類含有大量OMEGA3脂肪酸。587Please respect copyright.PENANAGNgyzi1Kbo

DHA是OMEGA3脂肪酸的一種,有實驗證據(Ref1)顯示有助老鼠大腦發展,故此被推算能預防人類腦退化症的發生,又或者輾轉被認定可以使人變得更加聰明。587Please respect copyright.PENANAe3l6vrhdIZ

無論如何,媒體廣告經常渲染DHA對人體非常有益,尤其是標榜魚肝油產品含有好多DHA,非常值得進食,這究竟可不可信呢?587Please respect copyright.PENANATD0Bawy1vV

(圖2)基於個別某幾種蛋白酶數量不足的關係,我們的腦部只能產生極為微量的DHA,而肝臟亦只能夠產生相對少量DHA,因此DHA的獲取來源主要均依靠飲食得來。587Please respect copyright.PENANAPfgo8xJG5q

但有研究發現(Ref1,2),餵飼老鼠DHA的話,血液、心臟及肝臟DHA含量雖然的確有所提高,但腦部的DHA水平則無任何大變化。587Please respect copyright.PENANAOmtj8mk7kX
587Please respect copyright.PENANACvYyP3Jc6T
若然DHA無法進入腦部的話,亦沒能夠為大腦帶來正面影響。587Please respect copyright.PENANADJ4bJuFM2T
587Please respect copyright.PENANAchtYHhMJgb
(圖3)經過一系列的研究後,科學家發現Mfsd2a是腦部負責從血管接收DHA的蛋白質(Ref3,4),它傾向接收與磷脂LPC結合的DHA,而不太傾向接納其他狀態的DHA。587Please respect copyright.PENANAYXnceRnL7u
587Please respect copyright.PENANAeilPt5kELc
587Please respect copyright.PENANAyVTsKl282I
這亦解釋得到,為何單獨餵飼老鼠DHA並不會引起腦部的DHA水平提升,原因是它並不是處於與LPC連結的狀態。587Please respect copyright.PENANAUUR8LDi24I
587Please respect copyright.PENANAfdR9ibbQyY
然而,這個機制僅是腦部獨有,因此心臟、肝臟以及脂肪組織均能輕易有效攝取DHA,以及與磷脂LPC結合的DHA。587Please respect copyright.PENANAE4wngmfuVh
587Please respect copyright.PENANAb75H6LW8dQ
(圖4)有研究(Ref5,6)指出,DHA與磷脂LPC的sn-2位置結合的話,DHA進入腦部的效果會更好。但亦有研究(Ref1)指sn-1或者sn-2均無任何大影響。587Please respect copyright.PENANAyui8uS2WNf
587Please respect copyright.PENANALTryx1As0U
587Please respect copyright.PENANAT1YZ1D0id1
這些在老鼠大腦進行的研究,能否百分百套用在人類身上還是未知之數。587Please respect copyright.PENANAFhJXoMOtci
但若然初心是想讓大腦攝取DHA的話,選購健康產品的時候還是留意一下究竟相應的DHA究竟是處於甚麼狀態為好。587Please respect copyright.PENANAtF66u6Ggbm
587Please respect copyright.PENANAboMPyrUiFn
至於日常飲食的話,磷蝦油(Krill Oil)則對比魚油相對上含有較多與磷脂結合的DHA。587Please respect copyright.PENANA4s11QoIi1b
587Please respect copyright.PENANAHnNafzV4PS
吃魚會使人變得更聰明,日後可能要改寫成為磷蝦了。587Please respect copyright.PENANAXyleyUfOrP
