The purpose of this study is to compare three lipidic forms of DHA in their metabolic pathway in human by using 13C labeled molecules.
The circulating form of DHA plays a major role in his cerebral incorporation. The aim of this research is to confirm that some lipidic forms are best carriers for the cerebral incorporation in studying 13C-DHA distribution in plasma lipids and blood cells.

Active Comparator: 13-C labeled PC-DHA |
Drug: 13-C labeled AceDoPC-DHA
Each subject will receive a single dose of either lipid sequentially (according to randomization) a triglyceride (TG-DHA), a phospholipid (PC-DHA) or acetylated lysophosphatidylcholine (AceDoPC) labeled with 13C. The dose contains 50 mg 13C-DHA. The wash-out period is four months Drug: 13-C labeled TG-DHA Each subject will receive a single dose of either lipid sequentially (according to randomization) a triglyceride (TG-DHA), a phospholipid (PC-DHA) or acetylated lysophosphatidylcholine (AceDoPC) labeled with 13C. The dose contains 50 mg 13C-DHA.
