Recently, there has been a strong interest in the ability to increase levels of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). This interest stems from the hypothesis that such an elevation in HDL-C will decrease the likelihood of cardiovascular disease. Inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been shown to elevate HDL-C levels in human subjects. This letter describes the discovery of a novel and potent (<100 nM IC50 for the inhibition of CE transfer) CETP inhibitor scaffold containing an oxazolidinone core.

Maternal obesity puts the offspring at high risk of developing obesity and cardio-metabolic diseases in adulthood. Here, we utilized a mouse model of maternal high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity that recapitulates metabolic perturbations seen in humans. We show increased adiposity in the offspring of HFD-fed mothers (Off-HFD) when compared to the offspring regular diet-fed mothers (Off-RD).

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.

As an important part of lipid metabolism the liver produces large particles called very low density lipoproteins, filled mostly with triglyceride and cholesterol esters mixture. A large percentage of the mixture composition components has a melting point above physiological temperature. Thus solid cluster formation or phase transition could be expected.

Background: Lipid metabolism, one of the three major metabolic processes, plays a crucial role in male fertility, particularly when lipid homeostasis is disrupted. Lipid droplets (LDs), cellular organelles that store lipids primarily in the form of triglycerides and cholesterol esters, serve as central hubs in lipid metabolism.The degradation of LDs is regulated by lipases and lipophagy.

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).
