For example, carrageenan, a negatively charged sulfated polysaccharide, interacts with HSV glycoproteins gB and gC, inducing conformational changes that inactivate virions, likely via formation of a virioncarrageenan complex that blocks envelope sites necessary for adsorption [102]

Therefore, it is possible that the erythrocyte index may not reflect the brain index, but could reflect the uptake of DHA by other peripheral tissue that acquire DHA through non-Mfsd2a pathways, including uptake of free FA through diffusion, and the receptor-mediated uptake of lipoproteins
Their role in specific areas, such as fat metabolism and weight loss, remains unclear and is not substantiated by significant clinical evidence

Secondary endpoints included changes from baseline in patient-reported outcomes related to body image, triglycerides, ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, IGF-1 levels, and safety parameters
