Purpose Of Review: Give an update on recent dietary intervention studies that have used peripheral blood mononuclear cell gene expression analysis and/or metabolic profiling to understand how intake of polyunsaturated and saturated fat affects and biological pathways linked to cardiovascular disease.
Recent Findings: Several studies showed that intake of fish oil and vegetable oil, high in omega-3 fatty acids, reduced expression level of genes involved in inflammation. One intervention study showed that gene transcripts encoding genes involved inflammation and lipid metabolism increased after intake of polyunsaturated fat (mainly omega-6 fatty acids) compared to saturated fat. Additionally, using targeted metabolomics, the concentrations of atherogenic lipoprotein particles and several metabolites including palmitoylcarnitine, myristoylcarnitine, and kynurenine were reduced after intake of polyunsaturated fat compared to saturated fat, whereas acetate and acetoacetate were increased. The use of targeted metabolomics showed that overfeeding with polyunsaturated fat reduced the serum concentration of ceramides, dihydroceramides, glucosylceramides, and lactosylceramides, whereas overfeeding with saturated fat increased serum concentration of these metabolites.
Summary: The use of gene expression profiling and metabolomics are promising tools to identify possible new biomarkers linking fat quality to cardiovascular disease risk.

Introduction/objectives: Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory and difficult-to-treat autoimmune disease. Timosaponin AIII (TAIII), a plant-derived steroidal saponin, effectively inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. This study explored the mechanisms of action of TAIII in SS treatment by studying gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) using fecal metabolomics.

The production of biodegradable and biobased polymers is one way to overcome the present plastic pollution while using cheap and abundant feedstocks. Polyhydroxyalkanoates are a promising class of biopolymers that can be produced by various microorganisms. Within the production process, batch-to-batch variation occurs due to changing feedstock composition when using waste streams, slightly different starting conditions, or biological variance of the microorganisms.

Nuclear growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) reduces the binding of the mothers' against decapentaplegic homolog (SMAD) complex to its DNA-binding elements. However, the stimuli that control this process are unknown. Here, we examined whether saturated fatty acids (FA), particularly palmitate, regulate nuclear GDF15 levels and the activation of the SMAD3 pathway in human skeletal myotubes and mouse skeletal muscle, where most insulin-stimulated glucose use occurs in the whole organism.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes has risen globally, in parallel with the obesity epidemic and environments promoting a sedentary lifestyle and low-quality diet. There has been scrutiny of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) as a driver of type 2 diabetes, underscored by their increasing availability and intake worldwide, across countries of all incomes. This narrative review addresses the accumulated evidence from investigations of the trends in UPF consumption and the relationship with type 2 diabetes incidence.
