ABSTRACT Objective Methods Results Conclusions We here investigated whether lactation during puerperium could help to reverse the diabetogenic effect of gestation and further explored the lipid profiling changes upon breastfeeding.Thirty‐five women diagnosed with GDM were recruited, and fasting plasma samples were collected at ~6 weeks postpartum. Maternal metabolic parameters were determined, and an untargeted lipidomic analysis was performed. The relationship between underlying lipidomic responses and lactation was explored.Improved glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity were observed in GDM women who adopted breastfeeding during the puerperium. Further lipidomics analysis revealed prominent correlations between lipid constitution changes and breastfeeding in women with GDM. A total of 766 lipid species were identified, 33 of which were found to be significantly altered in response to lactation. Significant associations between dysregulated lipids and maternal metabolic parameters were also shown. Subsequently, we identified a panel of three lipids that were strongly associated with breastfeeding, from which we constructed a predictive model with higher discriminating power.We generally revealed that lactation during puerperium appears to have favorable effects on diabetogenic risk factors for GDM women. We also discovered that lipidomic changes related to lactation could elucidate the mother's recovery from GDM pregnancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study a Machine Learning model was employed to predict the lipid profile from supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of microalgae Galdieria sp. USBA-GBX-832 under different temperature (40, 50, 60°C), pressure (150, 250 bar), and ethanol flow (0.6, 0.9 mL min-1) conditions. Six machine learning regression models were trained using 33 independent variables: 29 from RD-Kit molecular descriptors, three from the extraction conditions, and the infinite dilution activity coefficient (IDAC). The lipidomic characterization analysis identified 139 features, annotating 89 lipids used as the entries of the model, primarily glycerophospholipids and glycerolipids. It was proposed a methodology for selecting the representative lipids from the lipidomic analysis using an unsupervised learning method, these results were compared with Tanimoto scores and IDAC calculations using COSMO-SAC-HB2 model. The models based on decision trees, particularly XGBoost, outperformed others (RMSE: 0.035, 0.095, 0.065 and coefficient of determination (R2): 0.971, 0.933, 0.946 for train, test and experimental validation, respectively), accurately predicting lipid profiles for unseen conditions. Machine Learning methods provide a cost-effective way to optimize SFE conditions and are applicable to other biological samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a global health issue linked to lipid metabolism and immune cell responses. This study uses Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify genetic risk factors for IS subtypes using comprehensive genetic data from lipidomic and immune cell profiles. Methods: We assessed genetic susceptibility to IS across 179 lipids and 731 immune cell phenotypes using instrumental variables (IVs) from recent genome-wide association studies. A two-sample MR approach evaluated correlations, and a two-step MR mediation analysis explored the role of immune cell phenotypes in the lipid-IS pathway. Sensitivity analyses, including MR-Egger and Cochran Q tests, ensured robust results. Results: Genetic IVs for 162 lipids and 614 immune cell phenotypes were identified. Significant genetic causality was found between 35 lipids and large artery stroke (LAS), with 12 as risk factors (sterol esters, phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines) and 23 as protective factors (phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylinositols). For small vessel stroke (SVS), 8 as risk factors (sterol esters, phosphatidylcholines), and 2 as protective factors (phosphatidylinositol, sphingomyelin). For cardioembolic stroke (CS), 2 as risk factors, and 4 as protective factors. Mediation analysis revealed that CCR2 on granulocytes, CD11c on CD62L
+ myeloid dendritic cells, and FSC-A on granulocytes mediated the lipid-immune cell-LAS pathway, while CD4 on activated CD4 regulatory T cells and CD4 on activated & secreting CD4 regulatory T cells mediated the lipid-immune cell-SVS pathway. Conclusion: This study identifies genetic links between specific lipids and IS subtypes, highlights immune cells' role in IS risk and mediation, suggests new therapeutic targets, and uncovers IS genetic drivers.

Chronic nonspecific low back pain (cNLBP) accounts for approximately 90% of low back pain cases, affecting 65–80% of the population and significantly impacting life quality and productivity. This condition also leads to substantial financial burden. Although there have been advancements, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying etiology of cNLBP remains elusive, resulting in less than optimal treatment outcomes. This study aimed to examine the correlation between lipid variations and the development of cNLBP. The cohort consisted of 26 healthy volunteers (HV group) and 30 cNLBP patients, with an assessment of metabolites and lipid composition in both groups. Metabolomic results revealed significant alterations in lipid-associated metabolites between the HV and cNLBP groups. Subsequent lipid analysis revealed that monoacylglycerols (MAGs) increased approximately 1.2-fold (p = 0.016), diacylglycerols (DAGs) increased approximately 1.4-fold (p = 0.0003), and phosphatidylserine (PS) increased approximately 1.4-fold (p = 0.011). In contrast, triacylglycerol (TAG) decreased to about 0.7-fold (p = 0.035) in the cNLBP group compared to the HV group. The contrasting trends in MAG/DAG and TAG levels indicated that the imbalance between MAG/DAG and TAG may have an impact on the development of cNLBP. This study has provided new insights into the relationship between the progression of cNLBP and specific lipids, suggesting that these lipids could serve as therapeutic targets for cNLBP.

METABOLIC reprogramming , *GASTROINTESTINAL cancer , *METABOLIC disorders , *LIPID metabolism , *FATTY acids - Abstract
Gastrointestinal cancer has emerged as a significant global health concern due to its high incidence and mortality, limited effectiveness of early detection, suboptimal treatment outcomes, and poor prognosis. Metabolic reprogramming is a prominent feature of cancer, and fatty acid metabolism assumes a pivotal role in bridging glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism. Fatty acids play important roles in cellular structural composition, energy supply, signal transduction, and other lipid‐related processes. Changes in the levels of fatty acid metabolite may indicate the malignant transformation of gastrointestinal cells, which have an impact on the prognosis of patients and can be used as a marker to monitor the efficacy of anticancer therapy. Therefore, targeting key enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism, either as monotherapy or in combination with other agents, is a promising strategy for anticancer treatment. This article reviews the potential mechanisms of fatty acid metabolism disorders in the occurrence and development of gastrointestinal tumors, and summarizes the related potential biomarkers and anticancer strategies.

LIQUID chromatography-mass spectrometry , *LEWY body dementia , *MACHINE learning , *ALZHEIMER'S disease , *PARKINSON'S disease - Abstract
Background: Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder that often overlaps clinically with Alzheimer's disease (AD), presenting challenges in accurate diagnosis and underscoring the need for novel biomarkers. Lipidomic emerges as a promising avenue for uncovering disease-specific metabolic alterations and potential biomarkers, particularly as the lipidomics landscape of DLB has not been previously explored. We aim to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers and elucidate the disease's pathophysiological mechanisms. Methods: This study conducted a lipidomic analysis of plasma samples from patients with DLB, AD, and healthy controls (HCs) at Xuanwu Hospital. Untargeted plasma lipidomic profiling was conducted via liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Machine learning methods were employed to discern lipidomic signatures specific to DLB and to differentiate it from AD. Results: The study enrolled 159 participants, including 57 with AD, 48 with DLB, and 54 HCs. Significant differences in lipid profiles were observed between the DLB and HC groups, particularly in the classes of sphingolipids and phospholipids. A total of 55 differentially expressed lipid species were identified between DLB and HCs, and 17 between DLB and AD. Correlations were observed linking these lipidomic profiles to clinical parameters like Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS III) and cognitive scores. Machine learning models demonstrated to be highly effective in distinguishing DLB from both HCs and AD, achieving substantial accuracy through the utilization of specific lipidomic signatures. These include PC(15:0_18:2), PC(15:0_20:5), and SPH(d16:0) for differentiation between DLB and HCs; and a panel includes 13 lipid molecules: four PCs, two PEs, three SPHs, two Cers, and two Hex1Cers for distinguishing DLB from AD. Conclusions: This study presents a novel and comprehensive lipidomic profile of DLB, distinguishing it from AD and HCs. Predominantly, sphingolipids (e.g., ceramides and SPHs) and phospholipids (e.g., PE and PC) were the most dysregulated lipids in relation to DLB patients. The lipidomics panels identified through machine learning may serve as effective plasma biomarkers for diagnosing DLB and differentiating it from AD dementia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MOLECULAR biology , *NON-alcoholic fatty liver disease , *AP-1 transcription factor , *LIPID synthesis , *PATHOLOGICAL physiology - Abstract
Leonurine is a natural product unique to the Lamiaceae plant Leonurus japonicus Houtt., and it has attracted attention due to its anti-oxidative stress, anti-apoptosis, anti-fibrosis, and metabolic regulation properties. Also, it plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) through a variety of biological mechanisms, but its mechanism of action remains to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to preliminarily explore the mechanisms of action of leonurine in NAFLD. Mice were randomly divided into four groups: the normal control (NC) group, the Model (M) group, the leonurine treatment (LH) group, and the fenofibrate treatment (FB) group. The NAFLD model was induced by a high-fat high-sugar diet (HFHSD) for 12 weeks, and liver pathological changes and biochemical indices were observed after 12 weeks. Transcriptomic analysis results indicated that leonurine intervention reversed the high-fat high-sugar diet-induced changes in lipid metabolism-related genes such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1), Spermine Synthase (Sms), AP-1 Transcription Factor Subunit (Fos), Oxysterol Binding Protein Like 5 (Osbpl5), and FK506 binding protein 5 (Fkbp5) in liver tissues. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis results suggest that leonurine may exert its lipid-lowering effects through the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Liver lipidomic analysis showed that leonurine could alter the abundance of lipid molecules related to fatty acyl (FAs) and glycerophospholipids (GPs) such as TxB3, carnitine C12-OH, carnitine C18:1-OH, and LPC (20:3/0:0). Molecular biology experiments and molecular docking techniques verified that leonurine might improve hepatic lipid metabolism through the alpha-1A adrenergic receptor (ADRA1a)/AMPK/SCD1 axis. In summary, the present study explored the mechanism by which leonurine ameliorated NAFLD by inhibiting hepatic lipid synthesis via the ADRA1a/AMPK/SCD1 axis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is associated with high levels of cysteinyl leukotrienes, prostaglandin D2, and low levels of prostaglandin E2. Further, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) levels may have predictive value in therapeutic outcomes of aspirin desensitization. Accumulation of nasal group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) has been demonstrated during COX-1 inhibition in AERD, although the relationships between tissue ILC2 accumulation, reaction symptom severity, and novel lipid biomarkers are unknown. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether novel lipid mediators are predictive of nasal ILC2 accumulation and symptom scores during COX-1 inhibitor challenge in patients with AERD. METHODS: Blood and nasal scraping samples from patients with AERD were collected at baseline and COX-1 inhibitor reaction and then processed for flow cytometry for nasal ILC2s and serum for lipidomic analysis. RESULTS: Eight patients with AERD who were undergoing aspirin desensitization were recruited. Of the 161 eicosanoids tested, 42 serum mediators were detected. Baseline levels of 15-HETE were negatively correlated with the change in numbers of airway ILC2s (r = -0.6667; P = .0428). Docosahexaenoic acid epoxygenase metabolite 19,20-dihydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z-docosapentaenoic acid (19,20-diHDPA) was positively correlated with both changes in airway ILC2s (r = 0.7143; P = .0305) and clinical symptom scores (r = 0.5000; P = .0081). CONCLUSION: Low levels of baseline 15-HETE predicted a greater accumulation of airway ILC2s in patients with AERD who were receiving COX-1 inhibition. Further, increases in the cytochrome P pathway metabolite 19,20-dihydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z-docosapentaenoic acid (19,20-diHDPA) were associated with increased symptoms and nasal ILC2 accumulation. Future studies to assess how these mediators might control ILC2s may improve the understanding of AERD pathogenesis.

The impact of hepatocyte-specific Yap1 knockout (Yap1LKO) on hepatic lipid droplets (LD) and pePLIN2 in metabolic fatty liver has not been reported. This study aims to explore whether Yap1LKO could offer a protective effect in a liver injury model.Methods: Three-week-old Yap1LKO and Yap1Flox mice were given aristolochic acid I (AAI) combined carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) establish liver injury model. Eight-week-old Yap1LKO and Yap1Flox mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 18 weeks to establish obesity-related liver injury model. Further biochemical, histomorphological, immunohistochemical, and lipidomic analyses were performed on serum and liver tissues of these mice to elucidate the effects of hepatocyte-specific Yap1 knockout on hepatic lipid metabolism.Results: Yap1LKO reduced triglyceride (TG) content and PLIN2 expression level in the liver during the intervention of AAI combined CCl4. Moreover, Yap1LKO improved lipid metabolism homeostasis in the liver by increasing the beneficial lipid molecules and reducing the harmful lipid molecules through lipidomics. Finally, Yap1LKO reduced TG content in the serum and liver, hepatic vacuolar degeneration, and hepatic PLIN2 expression level in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD).Conclusion: Yap1LKO is protective in regulating liver and blood TG when induced with toxic substances AAI combined CCl4 and a high-fat diet.Keywords: yes-associated protein, hepatocyte-specific Yap1 knockout, perilipin-2, lipidomic, triglyceride

Acne-prone skin is a common condition in adult women, and skin imperfections could affect quality of life and self-esteem. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a cosmetic combination regimen for face care (a cleanser gel and a serum containing niacinamide, retinol, and alpha hydroxy acids). A total of 20 women with acne-prone mixed or oily skin were enrolled in a prospective 42-day trial. Sebum content, skin radiance, skin profilometry, and evaluation of face area occupied by pores were evaluated at baseline and after 14, 28, and 42 days. In addition, a face lipidomic evaluation was performed at baseline and after 42 days. Finally, self-assessment questionnaires at each visit checkpoint were performed to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of the tested products. All the subjects but one concluded the study. Both products were very well tolerated and 84% of the subjects reported a global clinical improvement. Skin sebum content was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced at each of the evaluation time points (−9.9% at day 14, −19.4% at day 28, and −23.7% at day 42). The tested regimen significantly decreased the gloss parameter (mattifying effect) at day 14, 28, and 42, with a maximum reduction of 7.2% at the end of the study period. The pores area demonstrated a significant reduction at each of the checkpoint evaluations in comparison with baseline. Inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions were significantly reduced by 16% at day 28 and day 42 (p < 0.01). Lipidomic analysis demonstrated that this cosmetic face care regimen induced significant and positive effects in face sebum lipids composition, characterized by a significant increase in ceramides and triacylglycerols and a decrease in fatty acids and oxidized fatty acids.

- Abstract
Breastfeeding and human milk are the gold standard for infant feeding. Studying human milk with a systems biology approach in a large longitudinal cohort is needed to understand its complexity and health implications. The Phoenix study is a multicenter cohort study focusing on the interactions of maternal characteristics, human milk composition, infant feeding practices, and health outcomes of Chinese mothers and infants. A total of 779 mother–infant dyads were recruited from November 2021 to September 2022, and 769 mother–infant dyads were enrolled in the study. Scheduled home visits took place at 1, 4, 6, and 12 months postpartum, and 696 dyads (90.5% participants) completed the 12-month visit. At each visit, maternal and infant anthropometry was assessed. Questionnaires were administered to collect longitudinal information on maternal characteristics and lifestyle, infant feeding, and health. Digital diaries were used to record maternal dietary intake, infant feeding, and stool character. Human milk, maternal feces, infant feces, and infant saliva were collected. An external pharmaceutical-level quality assurance approach was implied to ensure the trial quality. Multi-omics techniques (including glycomics, lipidomics, proteomics, and microbiomics) and machine learning algorithms were integrated into the sample and data analysis. The protocol design of the Phoenix study provides a framework for prospective cohort studies of mother–infant dyads and will provide insights into the complex dynamics of human milk and its interplay with maternal and infant health outcomes in the Chinese population.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive liver disease characterized by the build-up of fat in the liver of individuals in the absence of alcohol consumption. This condition has become a burden in modern societies aggravated by the lack of appropriate predictive biomarkers (other than liver biopsy). To better understand this disease and to find appropriate biomarkers, a new technology has emerged in the last two decades with the ability to explore the unmapped role of lipids in this disease: lipidomics. This technology, based on the combination of chromatography and mass spectrometry, has been extensively used to explore the lipid metabolism of NAFLD. In this review, we aim to summarize the knowledge gained through lipidomics assays exploring tissues, plasma, and lipoproteins from individuals with NAFLD. Our goal is to identify common features and active pathways that could facilitate the finding of a reliable biomarker from this field. The most frequent observation was a variable decrease (1–9%) in polyunsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids and non-esterified fatty acids in NAFLD patients, both in plasma and liver. Additionally, a reduction in phosphatidylcholines is a common feature in the liver. Due to the scarcity of studies, further research is needed to properly detect lipoprotein, plasma, and tissue lipid signatures of NAFLD etiologies, and NAFLD subtypes, and to define the relevance of this technology in disease management strategies in the push toward personalized medicine.

In this paper we investigated lipid and metabolite changes in diabetic neuropathy, using untargeted lipidomics and metabolomics analyses of the spinal cords from streptozotocin-treated diabetic rats.170 metabolites and 45 lipids were dysregulated in the painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) phase. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed perturbations in starch and sucrose, tryptophan, pyrimidine, cysteine and methionine, thiamine, tyrosine, and nucleotides. The disturbance of tyrosine, tryptophan, methionine, triacylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine metabolism indicated that pathological mechanisms in the PDN involved energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and neural reparative regeneration. These revelations offered potential biomarkers for PDN and enriched the comprehension of the complex molecular mechanisms characterizing PDN, establishing a solid foundation for subsequent inquiries into neural convalescence and recovery after PDN.

In this study a Machine Learning model was employed to predict the lipid profile from supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of microalgae Galdieria sp. USBA-GBX-832 under different temperature (40, 50, 60°C), pressure (150, 250 bar), and ethanol flow (0.6, 0.9 mL min-1) conditions. Six machine learning regression models were trained using 33 independent variables: 29 from RD-Kit molecular descriptors, three from the extraction conditions, and the infinite dilution activity coefficient (IDAC). The lipidomic characterization analysis identified 139 features, annotating 89 lipids used as the entries of the model, primarily glycerophospholipids and glycerolipids. It was proposed a methodology for selecting the representative lipids from the lipidomic analysis using an unsupervised learning method, these results were compared with Tanimoto scores and IDAC calculations using COSMO-SAC-HB2 model. The models based on decision trees, particularly XGBoost, outperformed others (RMSE: 0.035, 0.095, 0.065 and coefficient of determination (R2): 0.971, 0.933, 0.946 for train, test and experimental validation, respectively), accurately predicting lipid profiles for unseen conditions. Machine Learning methods provide a cost-effective way to optimize SFE conditions and are applicable to other biological samples.

BackgroundProlonged fasting, characterized by restricting caloric intake for 24 h or more, has garnered attention as a nutritional approach to improve lifespan and support healthy aging. Previous research from our group showed that a single bout of 36-h water-only fasting in humans resulted in a distinct metabolomic signature in plasma and increased levels of bioactive metabolites, which improved macrophage function and lifespan in C. elegans.ObjectiveThis secondary outcome analysis aimed to investigate changes in the plasma lipidome associated with prolonged fasting and explore any potential links with markers of cardiometabolic health and aging.MethodWe conducted a controlled pilot study with 20 male and female participants (mean age, 27.5 ± 4.4 years; mean BMI, 24.3 ± 3.1 kg/m2) in four metabolic states: (1) overnight fasted (baseline), (2) 2-h postprandial fed state (fed), (3) 36-h fasted state (fasted), and (4) 2-h postprandial refed state 12 h after the 36-h fast (refed). Plasma lipidomic profiles were analyzed using liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.ResultsSeveral lipid classes, including lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), phosphatidylethanolamine, and triacylglycerol were significantly reduced in the 36-h fasted state, while free fatty acids, ceramides, and sphingomyelin were significantly increased compared to overnight fast and fed states (P

- Abstract
Lipid functions can be influenced by genetics, age, disease states, and lifestyle factors, particularly dietary patterns, which are crucial in diabetes management. Lipidomics is an expanding field involving the comprehensive exploration of lipids from biological samples. In this cross-sectional study, 396 participants from a Mediterranean region, including individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and non-diabetic individuals, underwent lipidomic profiling and dietary assessment. Participants completed validated food frequency questionnaires, and lipid analysis was conducted using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS). Multiple linear regression models were used to determine the association between lipid features and dietary patterns. Across all subjects, acylcarnitines (AcCa) and triglycerides (TG) displayed negative associations with the alternate Healthy Eating Index (aHEI), indicating a link between lipidomic profiles and dietary habits. Various lipid species (LS) showed positive and negative associations with dietary carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Notably, in the interaction analysis between diabetes and the aHEI, we found some lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) that showed a similar direction with respect to aHEI in non-diabetic individuals and T2D subjects, while an opposite direction was observed in T1D subjects. The study highlights the significant association between lipidomic profiles and dietary habits in people with and without diabetes, particularly emphasizing the role of healthy dietary choices, as reflected by the aHEI, in modulating lipid concentrations. These findings underscore the importance of dietary interventions to improve metabolic health outcomes, especially in the context of diabetes management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Lipidomic analysis of human serum is essential to monitor the individual's health status. Herein, we develop a facile strategy for rapid characterization of phospholipids in human serum via indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass slide solid phase extraction MALDI mass spectrometry (ITO‐SPE‐MALDI‐MS). Phospholipid species are retained on ITO slide via solid phase extraction owing to the unique property of the ITO material; the measurement of phospholipid species from 1 μl human serum within 2 min is achievable. A comparison of ITO‐SPE strategy with conventional extraction methods was further carried out using liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (LC‐MS) and ion‐mobility mass spectrometry (IM‐MS), resulting in a comparable enrichment performance for the phospholipid analysis. Furthermore, rapid lipidomic profiling of serum samples from human colorectal cancer patients and cell lines was demonstrated. Our results indicate that ITO‐SPE‐MALDI‐MS provides a higher throughput strategy for the analysis of phospholipid species in complex biological mixtures, showcasing its potential for applications in the analysis of clinical biofluids.

Mulberry leaf is a widely used protein feed and is often used as a strategy to reduce feed costs and improve meat quality in the livestock industry. However, to date, there is a lack of research on the improvement of meat quality using mulberry leaves, and the exact mechanisms are not yet known. The results showed that fermented mulberry leaves significantly reduced backfat content but had no significant effect on intramuscular fat (IMF). Lipidomic analysis showed that 98 and 303 differential lipid molecules (p < 0.05) were identified in adipose and muscle tissues, respectively, including triglycerides (TG), phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingolipids, and especially TG; therefore, we analysed the acyl carbon atom number of TG. The statistical results of acyl with different carbon atom numbers of TG in adipose tissue showed that the acyl group containing 13 carbon atoms (C13) in TG was significantly upregulated, whereas C15, C16, C17, and C23 were significantly downregulated, whereas in muscle tissue, the C12, C19, C23, C25, and C26 in TG were significantly downregulated. Acyl changes in TG were different for different numbers of carbon atoms in different tissues. We found that the correlations of C (14–18) in adipose tissue were higher, but in muscle tissue, the correlations of C (18–26) were higher. Through pathway enrichment analysis, we identified six and four metabolic pathways with the highest contributions of differential lipid metabolites in adipose and muscle tissues respectively. These findings suggest that fermented mulberry leaves improve meat quality mainly by inhibiting TG deposition by downregulating medium‐ and short‐chain fatty acids in backfat tissue and long‐chain fatty acids in muscle tissue.

Aims: To investigate clusters of adipose tissue dysfunction, that is, with adipose tissue insulin resistance (ADIPO‐IR) and large waist circumference (WC), identify a worse lipidomic profile characterised by a high proportion of lipids rich in saturated fatty acids (SFA). Materials and Methods: Hierarchical clustering based on WC and ADIPO‐IR (calculated as fasting plasma non‐esterified fatty acids times fasting plasma insulin, FFA×INS), was performed in 192 adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with metformin (HbA1c = 7.8%). Free fatty acid composition and lipidomic profile were measured by mass spectrometry (GC‐MS and LC‐MSQTOF). Indexes of fatty acid desaturation (stearoyl‐coA desaturase‐1 activity, SCD116 = palmitoleic acid/palmitic acid and SCD118 = oleic acid/stearic acid) and of insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR) were also calculated. Results: Three clusters were identified: CL1 (ADIPO‐IR = 4.9 ± 2.4 and WC = 96±7 cm, mean ± SD), CL2 (ADIPO‐IR = 6.5 ± 2.5 and WC = 114 ± 7 cm), and CL3 (ADIPO‐IR = 15.0 ± 4.7 and WC = 107 ± 8 cm). Insulin concentrations, ADIPO‐IR, and HOMA‐IR significantly increased from CL1 to CL3 (all p < 0.001), while fasting glucose concentrations, HbA1c, dietary lipids and caloric intake were similar. Moreover, CL3 showed significantly higher concentrations of monounsaturated free fatty acids, oleic and palmitoleic acids, triglycerides (TAG) rich in saturated FA and associated with de novo lipogenesis (i.e., TAG 46–50), higher SCD116, SCD118, ceramide (d18:0/18:0), and phosphatidylcholine aa(36:5) compared with CL1/CL2 (all p < 0.005). Conclusions: High ADIPO‐IR and large WC identify a worse lipid profile in T2D characterised by complex lipids rich in SFA, likely due to de novo synthesis given higher plasma monounsaturated FFA and increased desaturase activity indexes.

Background: Although sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology, familial AD is associated with specific gene mutations. A commonality between these forms of AD is that both display multiple pathogenic events including cholinergic and lipid dysregulation. Objective: We aimed to identify the relevant lipids and the activity of their related receptors in the frontal cortex and correlating them with cognition during the progression of AD. Methods: MALDI-mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and functional autoradiography was used to evaluate the distribution of phospholipids/sphingolipids and the activity of cannabinoid 1 (CB1), sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 (S1P1), and muscarinic M2/M4 receptors in the frontal cortex (FC) of people that come to autopsy with premortem clinical diagnosis of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and no cognitive impairment (NCI). Results: MALDI-MSI revealed an increase in myelin-related lipids, such as diacylglycerol (DG) 36:1, DG 38:5, and phosphatidic acid (PA) 40:6 in the white matter (WM) in MCI compared to NCI, and a downregulation of WM phosphatidylinositol (PI) 38:4 and PI 38:5 levels in AD compared to NCI. Elevated levels of phosphatidylcholine (PC) 32:1, PC 34:0, and sphingomyelin 38:1 were observed in discrete lipid accumulations in the FC supragranular layers during disease progression. Muscarinic M2/M4 receptor activation in layers V-VI decreased in AD compared to MCI. CB1 receptor activity was upregulated in layers V-VI, while S1P1 was downregulated within WM in AD relative to NCI. Conclusions: FC WM lipidomic alterations are associated with myelin dyshomeostasis in prodromal AD, suggesting WM lipid maintenance as a potential therapeutic target for dementia.

Simple Summary: Regulating the lipid nutritional profile of meat by balancing intramuscular fat and backfat is a difficult problem in pork production. In this study, we found that feed supplementation with mulberry leaves increased intramuscular fat while simultaneously reducing backfat. The results of our study suggest that nutritional supplementation with mulberry leaves may be used in pork production to improve the lipid nutrition of meat. Mulberry leaves, a common traditional Chinese medicine, represent a potential nutritional strategy to improve the fat profile, also known as the lipo-nutrition, of pork. However, the effects of mulberry leaves on pork lipo-nutrition and the microorganisms and metabolites in the porcine gut remain unclear. In this study, multi-omics analysis was employed in a Yuxi black pig animal model to explore the possible regulatory mechanism of mulberry leaves on pork quality. Sixty Yuxi black pigs were divided into two groups: the control group (n = 15) was fed a standard diet, and the experimental group (n = 45) was fed a diet supplemented with 8% mulberry leaves. Experiments were performed in three replicates (n = 15 per replicate); the two diets were ensured to be nutritionally balanced, and the feeding period was 120 days. The results showed that pigs receiving the diet supplemented with mulberry leaves had significantly reduced backfat thickness (p < 0.05) and increased intramuscular fat (IMF) content (p < 0.05) compared with pigs receiving the standard diet. Lipidomics analysis showed that mulberry leaves improved the lipid profile composition and increased the proportion of triglycerides (TGs). Interestingly, the IMF content was positively correlated with acyl C18:2 and negatively correlated with C18:1 of differential TGs. In addition, the cecal microbiological analysis showed that mulberry leaves could increase the abundance of bacteria such as UCG-005, Muribaculaceae_norank, Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group, and Limosilactobacillus. Simultaneously, the relative levels of L-tyrosine-ethyl ester, oleic acid methyl ester, 21-deoxycortisol, N-acetyldihydrosphingosine, and mulberrin were increased. Furthermore, we found that mulberry leaf supplementation significantly increased the mRNA expression of lipoprotein lipase, fatty acid-binding protein 4, and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ in muscle (p < 0.01). Mulberry leaf supplementation significantly increased the mRNA expression of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (p < 0.05) while significantly decreasing the expression of acetyl CoA carboxylase in backfat (p < 0.05). Furthermore, mulberry leaf supplementation significantly upregulated the mRNA expression of hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (p < 0.05) in backfat. In addition, mulberry leaf supplementation led to increased serum leptin and adiponectin (p < 0.01). Collectively, this omic profile is consistent with an increased ratio of IMF to backfat in the pig model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in common strains of pigs has been achieved using a diet high in saturated fat, fructose, cholesterol, and cholate and deficient in choline and methionine. The aim of the present work was to characterize the hepatic and plasma lipidomic changes that accompany the progression of NASH and its reversal by switching pigs back to a chow diet. One month of this extreme steatotic diet was sufficient to induce porcine NASH. The lipidomic platform using liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry analyzed 467 lipid species. Seven hepatic phospholipids [PC(30:0), PC(32:0), PC(33:0), PC(33:1), PC (34:0), PC(34:3) and PC(36:2)] significantly discriminated the time of dietary exposure, and PC(30:0), PC(33:0), PC(33:1) and PC(34:0) showed rapid adaptation in the reversion period. Three transcripts (CS, MAT1A, and SPP1) showed significant changes associated with hepatic triglycerides and PC(33:0). Plasma lipidomics revealed that these species [FA 16:0, FA 18:0, LPC(17:1), PA(40:5), PC(37:1), TG(45:0), TG(47:2) and TG(51:0)] were able to discriminate the time of dietary exposure. Among them, FA 16:0, FA 18:0, LPC(17:1) and PA(40:5) changed the trend in the reversion phase. Plasma LDL-cholesterol and IL12P40 were good parameters to study the progression of NASH, but their capacity was surpassed by hepatic [PC(33:0), PC(33:1), and PC(34:0)] or plasma lipid [FA 16:0, FA 18:0, and LPC(17:1)] species. Taken together, these lipid species can be used as biomarkers of metabolic changes in the progression and regression of NASH in this model. The lipid changes suggest that the development of NASH also affects peripheral lipid metabolism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. Metabolic abnormalities, particularly increased lipid synthesis and uptake, impact the onset and progression of the disease. However, the influence of lipid metabolism in breast cancer varies according to the disease stage and patient's hormone status. In postmenopausal patients, obesity is associated with a higher risk and poor prognosis of luminal tumors, while in premenopausal individuals, it is correlated to BRCA mutated tumors. In fact, the tumor's lipid profile may be used to distinguish between HER2+, luminal and BRCA-mutated tumors. Moreover, drug resistance was associated with increased fatty acid synthesis and alterations in membrane composition, impacting its fluidity and spatial subdomains such as lipid rafts. Here, we discuss the subtype-specific lipid metabolism alterations found in breast cancer and the potentiality of its modulation in a clinical setting. [Display omitted] • Breast cancer subtypes present different lipid profiles with clinical relevance. • FAs and lipid membranes are crucial in sustaining the HER2 subtype. • Unsaturated FAs can play an important role in HR + breast cancer. • ACCA function is enhanced in breast cancer carrying BRCA mutations. • Choline metabolism dictates TNBC aggressiveness. Background : Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. Increased lipid synthesis and uptake have been described to take place at the tumor onset. In fact, this metabolic disruption leads to alterations in the lipid profile of the tumors, which varies according to the subtype of the disease. Translational significance : Distinct lipid profiles influence the progression of the disease and response to treatment. In the present study, we discuss how the subtype-specific lipid metabolism alterations found in breast cancer could be used in diagnostic and treatment settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) has been increasingly replaced by bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) owing to its more favorable pharmacokinetics and fewer drug–drug interactions. However, the effect of this switch on plasma lipids and lipidomic profiles remains poorly characterized. Methods: HIV infected patients on an E/C/F/TAF regimen were recruited into the study and followed up every 12 weeks. Participants were divided into E/C/F/TAF and B/F/TAF groups depending on whether they were switched to B/F/TAF during follow-up. Clinical information and blood samples were collected at 0, 12, and 24 weeks, and lipidomic analysis was performed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Results: No significant differences were observed between the groups at baseline. At week 24, patients switched to B/F/TAF had lower triglyceride [mmol/L; 1.23 (0.62) versus 2.03 (0.75), P = 0.001] and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [mmol/L; 0.64 (0.26) versus 0.84 (0.32), P = 0.037) compared with patients who continued E/C/F/TAF therapy. Small decrease from baseline in Framingham general cardiovascular risk score (FRS) was observed in the B/F/TAF arm [week (W) 0: 2.59 (1.57) versus W24: 2.18 (1.01), P = 0.043]. Lipidomic analysis indicated that E/C/F/TAF treatment increased the levels of several diglycerides (DGs), triacylglycerols (TAGs), and lyso-phosphatidylcholines (LPCs), whereas switching to B/F/TAF led to increased sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids. After adjusting for demographic and clinical parameters, only DG (16:0/18:2), DG (18:2/22:6), DG (18:3/18:2), DG (20:5/18:2), TAG (18:3/18:2/21:5), TAG (20:5/18:2/22:6), and LPC (22:6) were found to be significantly associated with FRS (regression coefficient of 0.17–6.02, P < 0.05). Most of these FRS associate lipid species were significantly elevated in individuals treated with E/C/F/TAF instead of individuals treated with B/F/TAF. Conclusion: E/C/F/TAF promotes the accumulation of lipid species closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among people living with HIV, whereas B/F/TAF has a decreased impact on CVD-related lipid profile and is associated with lower CVD risk.

In the present work, the possibility to grow the strain Synechococcus nidulans CCALA 188 on Mars using a medium mimicking a one obtainable using in situ available resources, i.e. the so-called Martian medium, under an atmosphere obtainable by pressurization of Mars CO2, is investigated. The goal is to obtain a biomass with high-value products to sustain a crewed mission to Mars. The results show that the replacement of 40% vol of Z-medium with the same volume of Martian medium does not affect the cultivation and leads to a slight improvement of biomass productivity. Under an atmosphere consisting of pure CO2 the growth rate was reduced but the strain managed to adapt by modifying its metabolism. Total proteins and carbohydrates were significantly reduced under Mars-like conditions, while lipids increased when using CO2. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants is crucial for the wealth of astronauts, and in our case, radical scavenging capacities range from 15 to 20 mmolTEAC/kg were observed. Under CO2, a reduction in antioxidant power is observed likely due to a decrease in photosynthetic activity. The lipidome consisted of sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol, monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, digalactosyldiacylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and triacylglycerol. A significant increase in the latter ones was observed under Mars simulated atmosphere. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a scarcity of data on how the lipid composition of oily seeds changes in response to biotic stress. Yellow peach moth (Conogethes punctiferalis) has caused massive economic losses on the pecan (Carya illinoinensis) industry. Lipidomics is used in this study to determine the lipid composition of pecan and how it changes in response to insect attack. Pecan had 167 lipids, including 34 glycerolipids (GL), 62 glycerophospholipids (GP), 17 fatty acyls (FA), 41 sphingolipids (SP), and 13 saccharolipids (SL). The effects of biotic stress on lipids, particularly GL and GP, were significant. Biotic stress significantly reduced the lipid content of chains longer than 48. Forty-four significantly different lipids were discovered as potential biomarkers for distinguishing non-infected pecans from infested pecans. In addition, we used bioinformatics to identify the five most important metabolic pathways in order to investigate the processes underlying the changes. Our discoveries may offer valuable insights for enhancing pecan production in the future and contribute novel perspectives towards enhancing the nutritional value of pecans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BackgroundDespite emerging evidence linking alterations in gut microbiota to childhood obesity, the metabolic mechanisms linking gut microbiota to the lipid profile during childhood obesity and weight loss remain poorly understood.MethodologyIn this study, children with obesity were treated with lifestyle weight loss therapy. Metagenomics association studies and serum untargeted lipidomics analyses were performed in children with obesity and healthy controls before and after weight loss.Main findingsWe identified alterations in gut microbiota associated with childhood obesity, as well as variations in circulating metabolite concentrations. Children with obesity showed significant decreases in the levels of s-Rothia_kristinae and s-Enterobacter_roggenkampii, alongsige elevated levels of s-Clostridiales_bacterium_Marseille-P5551. Following weight loss, the levels of s-Streptococcus_infantarius and s-Leuconostoc_citreum increased by factors of 3.354 and 1.505, respectively, in comparison to their pre-weight loss levels. Correlation analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between ChE(2:0) levels and both with s-Lachnospiraceae_bacterium_TF09-5 and fasting glucose levels. CoQ8 levels were significantly negatively correlated with s-Rothia_kristinae and HOMA-IR.ConclusionWe linked altered gut microbiota and serum lipid levels in children with obesity to clinical indicators, indicating a potential impact on glucose metabolism via lipids. This study contributes to understanding the mechanistic relationship between altered gut microbiota and childhood obesity and weight loss, suggesting gut microbiome as a promising target for intervention.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=178971, ChiCTR2300072179.

Summary: Background: Metabolic ageing biomarkers may capture the age-related shifts in metabolism, offering a precise representation of an individual’s overall metabolic health. Methods: Utilising comprehensive lipidomic datasets from two large independent population cohorts in Australia (n = 14,833, including 6630 males, 8203 females), we employed different machine learning models, to predict age, and calculated metabolic age scores (mAge). Furthermore, we defined the difference between mAge and age, termed mAgeΔ, which allow us to identify individuals sharing similar age but differing in their metabolic health status. Findings: Upon stratification of the population into quintiles by mAgeΔ, we observed that participants in the top quintile group (Q5) were more likely to have cardiovascular disease (OR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.62–2.83), had a 2.01-fold increased risk of 12-year incident cardiovascular events (HR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.45–2.57), and a 1.56-fold increased risk of 17-year all-cause mortality (HR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.34–1.79), relative to the individuals in the bottom quintile group (Q1). Survival analysis further revealed that men in the Q5 group faced the challenge of reaching a median survival rate due to cardiovascular events more than six years earlier and reaching a median survival rate due to all-cause mortality more than four years earlier than men in the Q1 group. Interpretation: Our findings demonstrate that the mAge score captures age-related metabolic changes, predicts health outcomes, and has the potential to identify individuals at increased risk of metabolic diseases.

ABSTRACT: In laying hens, fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) is a common metabolic disorder, which can affect egg production and nutritional value. However, the impact of FLHS on the lipid content in egg yolks was not clear. In this study, FLHS model was induced by using high-energy low-protein diet, and the egg quality was evaluated. Egg yolk lipids were quantitatively analyzed by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combined with multivariate statistical analysis. Gene expressions of the lipoprotein were determined by qRT-PCR and antioxidant capacity of the egg yolk were determined by kits. The elevated blood lipids and extensive lipid droplets observed indicated successful establishment of the FLHS model in laying hens. Measurements of egg quality showed that egg yolk weight was increased in the FLHS group. Lipidomics revealed that 1,401 lipids, comprising 27 lipid subclasses in the egg yolk. According to score plots of principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, different lipid profile was observed between the control and FLHS groups. A total of 97 different lipid species were screen out. Sphingolipid and glycerophospholipid metabolism were identified as key pathways. Free polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) exhibited an increase in the FLHS group (P < 0.05). Notably, the form of PUFAs was changed that the FLHS group showed an increase in triacylglycerol-docosahexenoic acid and triacylglycerol-arachidonic acid in the egg yolk, while triacylglycerol-α-linolenic acid was decreased (P < 0.05). Total superoxide dismutase was decreased in the egg yolks affected by FLHS. Gene expressions of vitellogenin 2 (VTG2), VTG3, very low-density apolipoprotein II and apolipoprotein B were increased in the liver of laying hens with FLHS (P < 0.05). In conclusion, FLHS promoted the lipid transport from the liver to the yolk by upregulating lipoprotein expression, which altered lipid profile, and reduced antioxidant capacity in the yolk. This study provided a foundation for understanding the changes in lipids, lipid transport and lipid antioxidation capacity in egg yolk from laying hens with FLHS.

Abstract Introduction Elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) has been increasingly replaced by bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) owing to its more favorable pharmacokinetics and fewer drug–drug interactions. However, the effect of this switch on plasma lipids and lipidomic profiles remains poorly characterized. Methods HIV infected patients on an E/C/F/TAF regimen were recruited into the study and followed up every 12 weeks. Participants were divided into E/C/F/TAF and B/F/TAF groups depending on whether they were switched to B/F/TAF during follow-up. Clinical information and blood samples were collected at 0, 12, and 24 weeks, and lipidomic analysis was performed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Results No significant differences were observed between the groups at baseline. At week 24, patients switched to B/F/TAF had lower triglyceride [mmol/L; 1.23 (0.62) versus 2.03 (0.75), P = 0.001] and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [mmol/L; 0.64 (0.26) versus 0.84 (0.32), P = 0.037) compared with patients who continued E/C/F/TAF therapy. Small decrease from baseline in Framingham general cardiovascular risk score (FRS) was observed in the B/F/TAF arm [week (W) 0: 2.59 (1.57) versus W24: 2.18 (1.01), P = 0.043]. Lipidomic analysis indicated that E/C/F/TAF treatment increased the levels of several diglycerides (DGs), triacylglycerols (TAGs), and lyso-phosphatidylcholines (LPCs), whereas switching to B/F/TAF led to increased sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids. After adjusting for demographic and clinical parameters, only DG (16:0/18:2), DG (18:2/22:6), DG (18:3/18:2), DG (20:5/18:2), TAG (18:3/18:2/21:5), TAG (20:5/18:2/22:6), and LPC (22:6) were found to be significantly associated with FRS (regression coefficient of 0.17–6.02, P

Abstract Background Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are a novelty in medical and agrifood environments, with several studies exploring their functions and potential applications. Among fruits, apples (sp. Malus domestica) have great potential as PDNVs source, given their widespread consumption, substantial waste production, and recognized health benefits. Notably, apple-derived nanovesicles (ADNVs) can interact with human cell lines, triggering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses. This work is dedicated to the comprehensive biochemical characterization of apple-derived nanovesicles (ADNVs) through proteomic and lipidomic analysis, and small RNAs sequencing. This research also aims to shed light on the underlying mechanism of action (MOA) when ADNVs interface with human cells, through observation of intracellular calcium signalling in human fibroblasts, and to tackles differences in ADNVs content when isolated from fruits derived from integrated and organic production methods cultivars. Results The ADNVs fraction is mainly composed of exocyst-positive organelles (EXPOs) and MVB-derived exosomes, identified through size and molecular markers (Exo70 and TET-3-like proteins). ADNVs’ protein cargo is heterogeneous and exhibits a diverse array of functions, especially in plant's protection (favouring ABA stress-induced signalling, pathogen resistance and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) metabolism). Noteworthy plant miRNAs also contribute to phytoprotection. In relation with human cells lines, ADNVs elicit spikes of intracellular Ca2+ levels, utilizing the cation as second messenger, and produce an antioxidant effect. Lastly, organic samples yield a substantial increase in ADNV production and are particularly enriched in bioactive lysophospholipids. Conclusions We have conclusively demonstrated that ADNVs confer an antioxidant effect upon human cells, through the initiation of a molecular pathway triggered by Ca2+ signalling. Within ADNVs, a plethora of bioactive proteins, small RNAs, and lipids have been identified, each possessing well-established functions within the realm of plant biology. While ADNVs predominantly function in plants, to safeguard against pathogenic agents and abiotic stressors, it is noteworthy that proteins with antioxidant power might act as antioxidants within human cells.

Chronic nonspecific low back pain (cNLBP) accounts for approximately 90% of low back pain cases, affecting 65–80% of the population and significantly impacting life quality and productivity. This condition also leads to substantial financial burden. Although there have been advancements, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying etiology of cNLBP remains elusive, resulting in less than optimal treatment outcomes. This study aimed to examine the correlation between lipid variations and the development of cNLBP. The cohort consisted of 26 healthy volunteers (HV group) and 30 cNLBP patients, with an assessment of metabolites and lipid composition in both groups. Metabolomic results revealed significant alterations in lipid-associated metabolites between the HV and cNLBP groups. Subsequent lipid analysis revealed that monoacylglycerols (MAGs) increased approximately 1.2-fold (p = 0.016), diacylglycerols (DAGs) increased approximately 1.4-fold (p = 0.0003), and phosphatidylserine (PS) increased approximately 1.4-fold (p = 0.011). In contrast, triacylglycerol (TAG) decreased to about 0.7-fold (p = 0.035) in the cNLBP group compared to the HV group. The contrasting trends in MAG/DAG and TAG levels indicated that the imbalance between MAG/DAG and TAG may have an impact on the development of cNLBP. This study has provided new insights into the relationship between the progression of cNLBP and specific lipids, suggesting that these lipids could serve as therapeutic targets for cNLBP.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is increasing in prevalence, but effective treatments for its cognitive impairment remain severely limited. This study investigates the impact of ketone body production through dietary manipulation on memory in persons with mild cognitive impairment due to early AD and explores potential mechanisms of action. Methods: We conducted a 12-week, parallel-group, controlled feasibility trial of a ketogenic diet, the modified Atkins diet (MAD), compared to a control diet in patients with cognitive impairments attributed to AD. We administered neuropsychological assessments, including memory tests, and collected blood samples at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention. We performed untargeted lipidomic and targeted metabolomic analyses on plasma samples to detect changes over time. Results: A total of 839 individuals were screened to yield 38 randomized participants, with 20 assigned to receive MAD and 18 assigned to receive a control diet. Due to attrition, only 13 in the MAD arm and nine in the control arm were assessed for the primary endpoint, with two participants meeting ketosis levels used to define MAD adherence criteria. The average change from baseline in the Memory Composite Score was 1.37 (95% CI: −0.87, 4.90) points higher in the MAD group compared to the control group. The effect size of the intervention on baseline MAD change was moderate (Cohen’s D = 0.57, 95% CI: −0.67, 1.33). In the 15 participants (nine MAD, six control) assessed for lipidomic and metabolomic-lipidomics and metabolomics, 13 metabolites and 10 lipids showed significant changes from baseline to 12 weeks, including triacylglycerols (TAGs, 50:5, 52:5, and 52:6), sphingomyelins (SM, 44:3, 46:0, 46:3, and 48:1), acetoacetate, fatty acylcarnitines, glycerol-3-phosphate, and hydroxy fatty acids. Conclusions: Attrition was greatest between baseline and week 6. All participants retained at week 6 completed the study. Despite low rates of adherence by criteria defined a priori, lipidomic and metabolomic analyses indicate significant changes from baseline in circulating lipids and metabolites between MAD and control participants at 12-week postrandomization, and MAD participants showed greater, albeit nonsignificant, improvement in memory.

Results: There were 71 differential lipid metabolites identified in GC samples between the chemotherapy-sensitivity group and the chemotherapy resistance group. According to Foldchange (FC) value, VIP value, P values (FC > 2, VIP > 1.5, p < 0.05), a total of 15 potential biomarkers were obtained, including MGDG(43:11)-H, Cer(d18:1/24:0) + HCOO, PI(18:0/18:1)-H, PE(16:1/18:1)-H, PE(36:2) + H, PE(34:2p)-H, Cer(d18:1 + hO/24:0) + HCOO, Cer(d18:1/23:0) + HCOO, PC(34:2e) + H, SM(d34:0) + H, LPC(18:2) + HCOO, PI(18:1/22:5)-H, PG(18:1/18:1)-H, Cer(d18:1/24:0) + H and PC(35:2) + H. Furthermore, we obtained five potential key targets (PLA2G4A, PLA2G3, DGKA, ACHE, and CHKA), and a metabolite-reaction-enzyme-gene interaction network was built to reveal the biological process of how they could disorder the endogenous lipid profile of platinum resistance in GC patients through the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway. Finally, we further identified PLA2G4A and ACHE as core targets of the process by correlation analysis and tissue microarray immunohistochemical verification. Conclusion: PLA2G4A and ACHE regulated endogenous lipid profile in the platinum resistance in GC patients through the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway. The screening of lipid biomarkers will facilitate earlier precision medicine interventions for chemotherapy-resistant gastric cancer. The development of therapies targeting PLA2G4A and ACHE could enhance platinum chemotherapy effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Introduction: Lipids are key compounds in the study of metabolism and are increasingly studied in biology projects. It is a very broad family that encompasses many compounds, and the name of the same compound may vary depending on the community where they are studied. Objectives: In addition, their structures are varied and complex, which complicates their analysis. Indeed, the structural resolution does not always allow a complete level of annotation so the actual compound analysed will vary from study to study and should be clearly stated. For all these reasons the identification and naming of lipids is complicated and very variable from one study to another, it needs to be harmonized. Methods & Results: In this position paper we will present and discuss the different way to name lipids (with chemoinformatic and semantic identifiers) and their importance to share lipidomic results. Conclusion: Homogenising this identification and adopting the same rules is essential to be able to share data within the community and to map data on functional networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background & Aims: Metabolomic and lipidomic analyses provide an opportunity for novel biological insights. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remains a highly lethal cancer with limited response to systemic, targeted, and immunotherapeutic approaches. Using a global metabolomics and lipidomics platform, this study aimed to discover and characterize metabolomic variations and associated pathway derangements in patients with CCA. Methods: Leveraging a biospecimen collection, including samples from patients with digestive diseases and normal controls, global serum metabolomic and lipidomic profiling was performed on 213 patients with CCA and 98 healthy controls. The CCA cohort of patients included representation of intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal CCA tumours. Metabolome-wide association studies utilizing multivariable linear regression were used to perform case–control comparisons, followed by pathway enrichment analysis, CCA subtype analysis, and disease stage analysis. The impact of biliary obstruction was evaluated by repeating analyses in subsets of patients only with normal bilirubin levels. Results: Of the 420 metabolites that discriminated patients with CCA from controls, decreased abundance of cysteine-glutathione disulfide was most closely associated with CCA. Additional conjugated bile acid species were found in increased abundance even in the absence of clinically relevant biliary obstruction denoted by elevated serum bilirubin levels. Pathway enrichment analysis also revealed alterations in caffeine metabolism and mitochondrial redox-associated pathways in the serum of patients with CCA. Conclusions: The presented metabolomic and lipidomic profiling demonstrated multiple alterations in the serum of patients with CCA. These exploratory data highlight novel metabolic pathways in CCA and support future work in therapeutic targeting of these pathways and the development of a precision biomarker panel for diagnosis. Impact and implications: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly lethal hepatobiliary cancer with limited treatment response, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the disease biology. Using a global metabolomics and lipidomics platform, we characterized distinct changes in the serum of 213 patients with CCA compared with healthy controls. The results of this study elucidate novel metabolic pathways in CCA. These findings benefit stakeholders in both the clinical and research realms by providing a foundation for improved disease diagnostics and identifying novel targets for therapeutic design.

Katsuwonus pelamis is a tuna species mostly sold for canned fillets, its livers were lack of utilization. This study thus investigated an oil production method combining microwave (MW) pretreatment and subcritical dimethyl ether (SDME) in aim to reach improved efficiency and oil quality. The heating characteristics from different MW powers (400, 600, and 800 W) were evaluated, and SEM showed MW having hydrolysis effect on matrix lipoprotein, the fortified recovery rate was also found. Under the MW-SDME condition with 600 W power, 1:5 solid-to-liquid ratio, and 100 min, the recovery reached 93.21% in maximal (SDME ∼50%). To further improve quality, MW powers was noticed affecting lipid types, fatty acid composition, and oxidative stability of produced oils. 1286 lipid types (mostly glyceride and phospholipid-type) were identified, while higher MW lowered the emulsifying phospholipids prompting phase separation. Several oxidation indexes consistently increased with the rising MW power, GC–MS suggested 400 W for higher DHA.

Acne-prone skin is a common condition in adult women, and skin imperfections could affect quality of life and self-esteem. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a cosmetic combination regimen for face care (a cleanser gel and a serum containing niacinamide, retinol, and alpha hydroxy acids). A total of 20 women with acne-prone mixed or oily skin were enrolled in a prospective 42-day trial. Sebum content, skin radiance, skin profilometry, and evaluation of face area occupied by pores were evaluated at baseline and after 14, 28, and 42 days. In addition, a face lipidomic evaluation was performed at baseline and after 42 days. Finally, self-assessment questionnaires at each visit checkpoint were performed to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of the tested products. All the subjects but one concluded the study. Both products were very well tolerated and 84% of the subjects reported a global clinical improvement. Skin sebum content was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced at each of the evaluation time points (−9.9% at day 14, −19.4% at day 28, and −23.7% at day 42). The tested regimen significantly decreased the gloss parameter (mattifying effect) at day 14, 28, and 42, with a maximum reduction of 7.2% at the end of the study period. The pores area demonstrated a significant reduction at each of the checkpoint evaluations in comparison with baseline. Inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions were significantly reduced by 16% at day 28 and day 42 (p < 0.01). Lipidomic analysis demonstrated that this cosmetic face care regimen induced significant and positive effects in face sebum lipids composition, characterized by a significant increase in ceramides and triacylglycerols and a decrease in fatty acids and oxidized fatty acids.

Abstract Background The risk for dementia increases exponentially from the seventh decade of life. Identifying and understanding the biochemical changes that sensitize the ageing brain to neurodegeneration will provide new opportunities for dementia prevention and treatment. This study aimed to determine how ageing and major genetic risk factors for dementia affect the hippocampal proteome and lipidome of neurologically-normal humans over the age of 65. The hippocampus was chosen as it is highly susceptible to atrophy with ageing and in several neurodegenerative diseases. Methods Mass spectrometry-based proteomic and lipidomic analysis of CA1 hippocampus samples from 74 neurologically normal human donors, aged 66–104, was used in combination with multiple regression models and gene set enrichment analysis to identify age-dependent changes in the proteome and lipidome. ANOVA was used to test the effect of major dementia risk alleles in the TMEM106B and APOE genes on the hippocampal proteome and lipidome, adjusting for age, gender, and post-mortem interval. Fibrillar C-terminal TMEM106B fragments were isolated using sarkosyl fractionation and quantified by immunoblotting. Results Forty proteins were associated with age at false discovery rate-corrected P
