Abstract

Lipids are vital for membrane structure, energy storage, and cell signaling.Balanced lipid intake is essential for brain health and function.PUFAs like DHA and AA make the brain prone to oxidative stress and inflammation.Lipid peroxidation contributes to neuronal damage and neurodegenerative diseases.Disrupted lipid metabolism is linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and schizophrenia.Studying brain lipid changes may uncover disease mechanisms and guide new therapies.
