Blood samples were taken from schizophrenics and control patients in three different centers. The phospholipids were extracted from plasma and their fatty acid composition analyzed. Similar and consistent differences between schizophrenics and controls were observed at all three centers. The n-6 essential fatty acid levels were significantly reduced, whereas n-3 essential fatty acids were elevated.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists in metabolic disorders.

World J Gastroenterol

January 2025

School of Health Sciences, Universidad Internacional de La Rioja, Logroño 26006, La Rioja, Spain.

This article comments on the work by Soresi and Giannitrapani. The authors have stated that one of the most novel and promising treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the use of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, especially when used in combination therapy. However, despite their notable efficacy, these drugs were not initially designed to target MASLD directly.

Flax, as a functional crop with rich essential fatty acids and nutrients, is important in nutrition and industrial applications. However, the current process of flax seed detection relies mainly on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to error. The development of computer vision and deep learning techniques offers a new way to solve this problem.
