Background: Cachexia is defined by chronic loss of fat and muscle, is a frequent complication of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and negatively impacts patient outcomes. Nutritional supplementation cannot fully reverse tissue wasting, and the mechanisms underlying this phenotype are unclear. This work aims to define the relative contributions of catabolism and anabolism to adipose wasting in PDAC-bearing mice.

Lipases are one of the ubiquitous enzymes that belong to the hydrolases family and have a wide variety of applications. Cold-active lipases are of major attraction as they can act in lower temperatures and low water conditions because of their inherent greater flexibility. One of the novel applications of lipase is the enrichment of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plant and fish oils.

Lipid metabolism is essential to insect life as insects use lipids for their development, reproduction, flight, diapause, and a wide range of other functions. The central organ for insect lipid metabolism is the fat body, which is analogous to mammalian adipose tissue and liver, albeit less structured. Various other systems including the midgut, brain, and neural organs also contribute functionally to insect lipid metabolism.
