White matter lipidome alterations in the schizophrenia brain.

Numerous brain imaging studies have reported white matter alterations in schizophrenia, but the lipidome analysis of the corresponding tissue remains incomplete. In this study, we investigated the lipidome composition of six subcortical white matter regions corresponding to major axonal tracks in both control subjects and schizophrenia patients. All six regions exhibited a consistent pattern of quantitative lipidome alterations in schizophrenia, involving myelin-forming and mitochondria associated lipid classes.

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease: Diagnostic Significance and Neuroprotective Functions.

. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. It has been suggested that the factors that cause pathologic changes and lead to the development of AD may also include changes in certain neuropeptides.

[The technology of induction of physiological ketosis in asthenia of various origins and decreased resistance to cognitive and physical activity].

Objective: To assess the possibility of achieving physiological ketosis with oral administration of beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and, if ketosis is achieved, to assess its effect on cognitive functioning in patients with brain dysfunction during the recovery period after a somatic disease.

Material And Methods: The study included 86 patients with complaints of asthenic manifestations (ICD-10 diagnoses F06; F07; R53). Half of the patients were included in the study group taking beta-hydroxybutyrate salts, and the other half were included in the control group taking placebo.
