Article Synopsis
- Diabetes is a widespread metabolic disorder that can lead to severe complications, including kidney failure, nerve damage, blindness, heart disease, and strokes.
- Recent research highlights the importance of specific biomarkers linked to diabetes progression, prompting interest in natural remedies due to issues with current synthetic medications.
- Cyanobacteria are being explored for their natural bioactive compounds that show promise in developing effective antidiabetic drugs, with some already proving successful in clinical trials.
Background: Lipomas and atypical lipomatous tumors or well-differentiated liposarcomas (ALTs/WDLs), pose a diagnostic challenge due to their overlapping clinical and imaging features. Accurate differentiation is crucial as treatment strategies differ significantly between benign lipomas and malignant ALTs/WDLs. In recent years, medical imaging techniques have shown promise in distinguishing lipomas from ALTs/WDLs by providing enhanced visualization and assessment of various imaging parameters.

In response to cell stimulation or injury, the metabolism of lipids generates various lipid mediators, which perform many cellular functions. Thus, phospholipids release arachidonic acid or docosahexaenoic acid from the sn-2 position of the glycerol moiety by the action of phospholipases A.
