Twenty-four male Ile-de-France lambs (six blocks of homologous lambs) were used to study the effect of four feeding systems on muscle triglyceride (TG) and phospholipid (PL) fatty acids (FA) from the longissimus thoracis (LT): raised and finished on cool season grasses (G), raised on the same grasses and stall-finished, indoors, on concentrates and hay, respectively, for 22 (GSS) and 41 days (GSL), and stall-feeding, indoors, on concentrate and hay during both growing and finishing periods (S). In TG, similar decreases (P<0.05) of proportions of linolenic acid were observed after changing from grass feeding to stall feeding (GSS and GSL), and a decrease (P<0.05) in proportions of conjugated C18:2 cis9, trans11 (CLA cis9, trans11) was obtained after a long period of concentrate feeding (GSL). In PL, C22:5 n-3 achieved a significantly (P<0.05) lower level in GSL lambs compared both G and S lambs. A similar non-significant tendency was observed in the case of the other very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated FA. The separate analysis of fatty acids of TG and PL from the LT muscle underlined that TG afforded a more significant lowering effect than PL on the overall ratio between C18:2 n-6 and C18:2 n-3 in muscle lipids and on the health potential of meat for the consumer. A PCA analysis combining FA composition of TG and PL, and growth performances of the lambs allowed an efficient discrimination between the four feeding systems.

Background & Aims: Hepatic steatosis, characterized by lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, is a key diagnostic feature in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study aimed to clarify the involvement of phospholipid metabolic pathways in the pathogenesis of HCV-induced steatosis.

Methods: The expression and distribution of lipid species in the livers of human liver chimeric mice were analyzed using imaging mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
  • The red king crab and Japanese mitten crab are important for both their nutritional value and ecological research.
  • A study focused on the changes in lipid profiles during the crabs' embryonic and larval stages, highlighting how triacylglycerols disappeared in early larvae but reappeared later with different compositions.
  • The research revealed species-specific demands for polyunsaturated fatty acids, which could guide better diet selection in aquaculture practices.

Circulating metabolomic biomarkers of 5-year body weight and composition change in a biracial cohort of community-dwelling older adults.

Geroscience

January 2025

Center for Aging and Population Health, School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, 310 BelPB, 130 N. Bellefield Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15213, USA.

Unintentional weight loss in older populations is linked to greater mortality and morbidity risks. This study aims to understand the metabolic mechanisms of unintentional weight loss and their relationship with body composition changes in older adults. We investigated plasma metabolite associations with weight and body composition changes over 5 years in 1335 participants (mean age 73.

Exploring the freshness biomarker and volatiles formation in stored pork by means of lipidomics and volatilomics.

Food Res Int

January 2025

Institute of Food Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Key Laboratory of Agro-Products Processing, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Beijing 100193, China. Electronic address:

Raw pork is prone to oxidation and rancidity as it contains a high level of unsaturated lipid molecules. Reliable biomarkers to benchmark pork freshness and their formation have not been systematically investigated. The results indicated that the peroxide values, TVB-N and rancid volatiles dramatically increased in pork during the storage period (4 °C, 0-9 d).

Context: Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is an emerging disease in the pediatric population. DM2 is associated with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are lipoproteins that are believed to have atheroprotective properties that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
