Background: Research assessing lipid levels in individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has yielded mixed results. This study aimed to employ meta-analytic techniques to characterize the relationship between the levels of lipid profiles and PTSD.
Methods: We performed meta-analyses of studies comparing profiles and levels of lipids between PTSD patients and healthy individuals by searching Embase, Ovid Medline, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Cochrane databases for the studies until March 2021.
The aim of this meta-analysis was to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the evidence examining biomarker signatures in MDD patients including lipids, lipid regulatory proteins (LRP), and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) as compared to healthy individuals. We performed meta-analyses and meta-regression of the studies comparing lipid, LRP, and PUFA levels between MDD patients and healthy individuals by searching Embase, Ovid Medline, Scopus, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Cochrane databases. Search was performed in these databases up to September 2019 and 29 studies were included.

Article Synopsis
- Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) includes Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff psychosis, both linked to thiamine deficiency, which affects the body's ability to utilize carbohydrates.
- Thiamine deficiency can arise from genetic factors or conditions like alcoholism and often leads to symptoms that are similar to other neurological disorders, making WKS difficult to diagnose.
- Timely diagnosis and treatment of Wernicke encephalopathy are crucial to prevent the severe memory loss associated with Korsakoff psychosis, and this review highlights research on the causes, identification, and treatment options for these conditions.
