Exogenous DHA is converted by human platelets to 14- and 11- HDHE and by human neutrophils mainly to 7- HDHE . Human platelets prelabeled with 14C-DHA, 14C-EPA and 14C-AA and stimulated with thrombin release and metabolize DHA only in trace amounts as compared to EPA and AA. 14C-DHA is incorporated into the 2-position of platelet phospholipids and occurs predominantly in phosphatidylethanolamine. DHA and EPA were also incorporated by dietary means into phospholipids of platelets and neutrophils. In resting platelets free DHA as well as free AA and EPA are not detectable. In platelets stimulated ex vivo with thrombin DHA is not significantly released which is in contrast to EPA and AA. After stimulation, 14- HDHE is found only in trace amounts as compared to 12-HETE and 12- HEPE . In DHA enriched neutrophils formation of HDHEs cannot be demonstrated after stimulation with ionophore A 23187. We conclude that even after dietary enrichment of DHA in phospholipids of platelets and neutrophils the level of free DHA and/or formation of HDHEs might be too low to substantially affect arachidonic acid metabolism and related functions of these cells.
