Experiments on rats showed that, under conditions of global transient ischemia, a conjugate of GABA with arachidonic acid enhances the local cerebral blood flow due to a decrease in the vascular tone. In intact rats, the examined neurolipin did not show unidirectional changes in the cerebral perfusion. Under conditions of experimental myocardial infarction and combined vascular pathology of brain and heart, the GABA conjugate with arachidonic acid increased the blood flow in the parietal region of brain cortex in most experiments, while decreasing the level of blood pressure.

The Feasibility of Omega-3 Supplementation Compared to Placebo in the Management of Long COVID Symptoms Among Healthcare Workers: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: COVID-19 is known to cause significant multisystem inflammatory responses, leading to symptoms beyond the acute phase of illness. These "long COVID" symptoms affect quality of life and interfere with daily activities. This pilot study looks at the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of omega-3 (docosahexaenoic acid+eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA) among healthcare workers with long COVID symptoms in New Jersey.

Sea urchins, integral to marine ecosystems and valued as a delicacy in Asia and Europe, contain physiologically important long-chain (>C) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in their gonads, including arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and unusual non-methylene-interrupted fatty acids (NMI-FA) such as 20:2. Although these fatty acids may partially be derived from their diet, such as macroalgae, the present study on has uncovered multiple genes encoding enzymes involved in long-chain PUFA biosynthesis. Specifically, 3 fatty acid desaturases (FadsA, FadsC1 and FadsC2) and 13 elongation of very-long-chain fatty acids proteins (Elovl-like, Elovl1/7-like, Elovl2/5-like, Elovl4-like, Elovl8-like and Elovl6-like A-H) were identified in their genome and transcriptomes.

Background: Thrombocytopenia affects 12-20% of women with preeclampsia and a low platelet count impairs coagulation. Women with preeclampsia have an increased risk of both cerebral hemorrhage, thromboembolism, and postpartum hemorrhage. Studies of platelet function and coagulation in women with preeclampsia show conflicting results.

However, anaphylactoid reactions (ARs) are frequently reported as one of its side effects, and the mechanisms of ARs and their relationship with the different immune status are still not well understood.
Purpose: This article aims to examine the sensitizing effect of XSTI, explore the impact of normal and immunocompromised states on ARs, and analyze AR-related metabolic pathways by metabolomics.

Intramuscular fat (IMF) is an important indicator for evaluating meat quality. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) is widely used for the study of IMF deposition. Machine learning (ML) is a new big data fitting method that can effectively fit complex data, accurately identify samples and genes, and it plays an important role in omics research.
