Plasma Free Fatty Acids Profile As A Diagnostic Tool For Acute Ischemic Stroke

"This study is prospectively designed with the purpose of investigating potential new lipid targets and the free fatty acids as specific markers of acute brain injury.~Dynamic measurement of lipid profile in 3 consecutive samples at (I) the time intervals of admission, (II) 8 hours and (III) 24 hours after admission will give the opportunity of comparison mass-spectrometric analysis of highly complex plasma samples thus reducing variability between analyzed samples and allowing precise focusing on essential lipid target changes during stroke progression."
