Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and
arachidonic acid (AA), are the main components of the phospholipids, in cerebral
membranes. A dietary-induced cerebral DHA deficit results in altered behaviour
and neurotransmission in rodents. To determine whether PUFA were acting on the
neurotransmitter release machinery, we measured the release of
[(3)H]-noradrenaline (NA) from SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells with modified PUFA
membrane contents and from cells incubated with medium containing high DHA or
AA. The membranes of cells incubated with 70 microM DHA for 3 days had 7.6-times
more DHA in their ethanolamine glycerophospholipids, while the membranes of
cells incubated with AA had 40% less. Incorporation of DHA enhanced basal
[(3)H]-NA release (25%, p
