Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase is the first acyl esterifying enzyme in phosphatidylglycerol (PG) synthesis process. In this study, we isolated and characterized the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) gene from () and obtained the full length of the GPAT gene from () by 5' and 3' RACE. The clone contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1167 bp nucleotides that comprised of 388 amino acid residues. Real-time PCR revealed that the mRNA accumulation of in was induced by salt stress. The highest expression levels were observed when leaves were exposed to 300 mM NaCl treatment. At the germination stage, the germination rate and root length of overexpressed Arabidopsis strains were significantly higher than WT under different concentrations of NaCl treatments, while the inhibitory effect was significantly severe in T-DNA insertion mutant strains. In the seedling stage, chlorophyll content, the photochemical efficiency of PSII, PSI oxidoreductive activity (ΔI/Io), and the unsaturated fatty acid content of PG decreased less in overexpressed strains and more in mutant strains than that in WT under salt stress. These results suggest that the overexpression of in Arabidopsis enhances salt tolerance and alleviates the photoinhibition of PSII and PSI under salt stress by improving the unsaturated fatty acid content of PG.

Saline-alkali soil severely reduces the productivity of crops, including maize (Zea mays). Although several genes associated with saline-alkali tolerance have been identified in maize, the underlying regulatory mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report a direct link between colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and saline-alkali tolerance in maize.

Background: NXT629, a PPAR-alpha antagonist, exerts widespread effects in many diseases; however, its function and relevant mechanism in cholesterol gallstones (CG) remain largely unknown.
Methods: Male C57BL/6 J mice were fed a regular diet or lithogenic diet (LD), followed by treatment with intraperitoneal injection of NXT629. H&E staining was performed to analyze hepatic pathological changes, and Oil red O staining was conducted to detect lipid accumulation.

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), as a rate-limiting enzyme engaged in lipid synthesis pathways, exerts an important role in plant growth and development as well as environmental adaptation throughout diverse growth stages. Alfalfa ( L.) is one of the most significant leguminous forages globally; however, its growth process is frequently exposed to environmental stress, giving rise to issues such as impeded growth and decreased yield.

Article Synopsis
- A six-week trial assessed the potential of cottonseed oil (CSO) as a replacement for fish oil (FO) in swimming crab diets, using three diets with varying CSO proportions (0%, 50%, and 100%).
- Crabs on the all-CSO diet (CSO-100) showed significantly lower growth and survival rates, alongside notable changes in blood chemistry and fatty acid profiles.
- The study found that while dietary FO replacement with CSO altered muscle composition and gene expression related to lipid metabolism, increased CSO levels also led to changes in muscle volatile substances.

Despite advances in multimodal therapy approaches such as resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the overall survival of patients with grade 4 glioblastoma (GBM) remains extremely poor (average survival time <2 years). Altered lipid metabolism, which increases fatty acid synthesis and thereby contributes to radioresistance in GBM, is a hallmark of cancer. Therefore, we explored the radiosensitizing effect of the clinically approved, lipid-lowering drug fenofibrate (FF) in different GBM cell lines (U87, LN18).
