Docosahexaenoic and Eicosapentaenoic Acid Supplementation Could Attenuate Negative Effects of Maternal Metabolic Syndrome on Liver Lipid Metabolism and Liver Betacellulin Expressio... by Tomislav Mašek, Petra Roškarić, Sunčica Sertić, Kristina Starčević

“…Supplementation with DHA and EPA increased the DHA content and normalized the fatty acid composition of oleic acid, saturated fatty acids, linoleic acid and n3-docosapentaenoic acid in the offspring of mothers on a high-fructose diet. In addition, the DHA/EPA supplementation of fructose-fed mothers normalized hepatic Δ-9-desaturase and betacellulin overexpression in the offspring, suggesting that DHA/EPA supplementation affects not only the fatty acid content but also the liver function. …”

Resting-state functional connectivity between the frontoparietal network and the default mode network is aberrantly increased in ankylosing spondylitis by Dong Liu, Churong Lin, Budian Liu, Yanli Zhang, Yutong Jiang, Jieruo Gu, Ou Jin

“…Both ICA and SCA consistently showed that the rsFC between FPN and mPFC, a key node of the default mode network (DMN), was significantly increased in AS. In addition, SCA also identified a cluster at the right posterior lobe of cerebellum which exhibited increased rsFC with the posterior cingulate cortex, and the right lateral prefrontal cortex also showed increased rsFC with the right dlPFC. …”

White Matter-Gray Matter Correlation Analysis Based on White Matter Functional Gradient by Zhengjie Li, Jiajun Liu, Jianhui Zheng, Luying Li, Ying Fu, Zhipeng Yang

“…Results: Interestingly, both males and females exhibit a similar degree of asymmetry in their brain regions, albeit with distinct regional variations. Additionally, we have thoroughly examined and analyzed the distribution of functional gradient values in the spatial structure of the corpus callosum (CC) independently, revealing that a simple one-to-one correspondence between structure and function is absent. …”

Influence and prediction mechanisms for discomfort and memory disturbance due to structure borne sound from a metro masked with fountain sound by Wang Qiaochu, Hongwei Wang, Cai Yangsheng, Zhang Yang, Yang Chenxi

“…However, these studies failed to identify the primary, secondary and significant influencing factors on the discomfort after mitigation, which hindered the proposal of optimal masking strategy and undermined the scientific validity of models. Additionally, previous analyses overlooked the primary, secondary and significant influencing factors on the memory disturbance after mitigation and lacked prediction model for it. …”
