We evaluated the impacts of DHA in an experimental rat autism model.
DHA increased the levels of hippocampal p-CaMKII and p-CREB.
DHA altered BDNF-AKT-Bcl-2 signalling pathway and inhibited the activity of caspase-3.
DHA influenced the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes.
DHA improved dysfunctional locomotors activity and prevented cognitive impairment.
