Article Synopsis
- * The study aims to investigate the transport dysfunction of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in the fetoplacental unit and its link to ROP by evaluating the relationship between placental fatty acid receptor expression and ROP occurrence.
- * If the study finds a correlation, it could identify new mechanisms behind ROP, thereby aiding in public health strategies to prevent this condition in vulnerable infants.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to investigate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as an antifibrotic treatment following glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) in rats.
- The experiment included 36 rats divided into three groups: a control group, a DHA group, and a mitomycin C (MMC) group, with measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) and observed changes in fibroblast activity.
- Results showed that both the DHA and MMC groups maintained lower IOP and larger bleb areas compared to the control group, indicating that DHA has potential similar effects to MMC, warranting further research.
