In this study, the impact of dietary sn-2 palmitic triacylglycerol (sn-2 PTAG) on faecal lipids, calcium excretion and lipid metabolic alternation was investigated in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats fed with high-fat diet containing either palm olein (PO, sn-2 palmitic acid (PA) of 14.8%), sn-2 PTAG50 (sn-2 PA of 56.4%) or sn-2 PTAG70 (sn-2 PA of 72.4%), respectively. After 4-week feeding period, SD rats fed with sn-2 PTAGs showed reduced faecal soap fatty acids, neutral lipid and calcium excretion compared to those of PO-fed rats, whereas a significant difference was only observed for the sn-2 PTAG70-fed rats (p < .05). Moreover, dietary sn-2 PTAG70 also showed a significant effect on decreasing serum triacylglycerol (TAG) level, reducing perirenal adipocyte size and regulating lipid metabolism in small intestine and perirenal adipose tissue of SD rats. Significantly increased mRNA levels of genes involved in intestinal lipid anabolism as well as lipid catabolism were both observed in the sn-2 PTAG70-fed rats (p < .05). Meanwhile, dietary sn-2 PTAG70 also significantly up-regulated lipolysis, mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and thermogenesis-related gene and protein levels in perirenal adipose tissue, which might be correlated with the reduced perirenal adipocyte size. Taken together, our findings indicated that sn-2 PTAG70 may have some beneficial effects on intestinal lipid utilisation and lipid metabolic activity for energy supply in visceral adipose tissue.

Triacylglycerols (TGs) are the primary lipids of plant oils and the positional distribution of fatty acids (FAs) is essential to physicochemical, functional, and nutritional qualities of oils. Most studies have reported TG species in plant oils. In some studies, FA combinations in each TG species have been reported still neglecting the regioisomer composition of TGs.

The aim of this research was to design and synthesize new lipid conjugates of 7-DHC that could serve as a new storage form of esterified provitamin D, increasing the reservoir of this biomolecule in the epidermis and enabling controlled production of vitamin D even during periods of sunlight deficiency. Acylglycerol and glycerophospholipid containing succinate-linked provitamin D at the -2 position of the glycerol backbone were synthesized from dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and -glycerophosphocholine (GPC), respectively. The three-step synthesis of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-(7-dehydrocholesterylsuccinoyl)glycerol involved the esterification of DHA with palmitic acid, reduction of the carbonyl group, and conjugation of the resulting 1,3-dipalmitoylglycerol with 7-dehydrocholesterol hemisuccinate (7-DHC HS).

An experiment was conducted to evalute the effects of adding palm olein (POL), modified palm olein (high degree of acyl migration palm olein, H-AMD), and lard (total fatty acid saturation degree is similar to palm olein) to the diet of broilers. The study assessed production performance, fatty acid absorption, and abdominal fat deposition. A total of 100 one-week-old female broiler chicks were randomly assigned to three-tiered pens and fed five experimental diets.

Phosphatidylcholine (PC), a key phospholipid, contains 2 fatty acids that can be bound at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, resulting in positional isomers when different fatty acids are attached. Currently, there is no established method for identifying phospholipid molecular species and quantifying individual isomers using authentic standards of each PC isomer. In this study, we prepare authentic analytical standards for PC positional isomers through chemical synthesis and preparative purification.

Cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) serves as a viable substitute for cocoa butter (CB) in the confectionary industry. In this study, four types of CBE were produced via fermentation of Rhodosporidium toruloides and systematically characterized. Fatty acid analysis revealed similarities in both total and sn-2 fatty acid composition compared to cocoa butter.
