Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how hepatic energy metabolism reacts to meals in individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), suggesting unique post-meal changes in lipid metabolism compared to healthy individuals.
- They found a significant increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) levels in the blood of NAFLD patients after eating, which was not seen in healthy controls, indicating a specific metabolic response related to the disease.
- The research emphasizes the need to explore NAFLD's effects beyond fasting, as increased postprandial DAGs may lead to potential cardiovascular risks due to their lipotoxic properties.
In the course of examining 1,000 patients with various neurological complaints, 17 were found to have abnormalities in the region of the pineal gland. Fourteen had no hydrocephalus or symptoms referable to the region of the midbrain but a well-defined region of the high signal on T2 weighted images was demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging. The other three patients proved to have pineal tumors.
