We investigated the implication of Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) in fat preference and fat sensing in taste bud cells (TBC) in C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and TGR5 knock out (TGR5/) male mice maintained for 20 weeks on a high-fat diet (HFD). We also assessed the implication of TGR5 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in young obese humans. The high-fat diet (HFD)-fed TGR5/ mice were more obese, marked with higher liver weight, lipidemia and steatosis than WT obese mice. The TGR5/ obese mice exhibited high daily food/energy intake, fat mass and inflammatory status. WT obese mice lost the preference for dietary fat, but the TGR5/ obese mice exhibited no loss towards the attraction for lipids. In lingual TBC, the fatty acid-triggered Ca signaling was decreased in WT obese mice; however, it was increased in TBC from TGR5/ obese mice. Fatty acid-induced in vitro release of GLP-1 was higher, but PYY concentrations were lower, in TBC from TGR5/ obese mice than those in WT obese mice. We noticed an association between obesity and variations in TGR5 rs11554825 SNP. Finally, we can state that TGR5 modulates fat eating behavior and obesity.

The effect of konjac glucomannan (KGM) on lipid absorption is related to the viscosity effect and hepatic lipid synthesis. However, the molecular mechanism of regulation of intestinal lipid absorption by KGM and its correlation with gut microbiota have not been studied. This study explored the effects of KGM and degradation products of KGM (DKGM) on intestinal lipid absorption and output in obese mice and their potential mechanisms.

Inflammation is critical for obesity and obesity-induced insulin resistance (IR). In this study, we reveal the function and mechanism of acarbose on adipose tissue macrophage (ATM)-mediated inflammation in obesity and obesity-induced IR. First, acarbose enhances the abundance of propionic acid-producing Parasutterella, therefore indirectly inhibiting the survival and proinflammatory function of M1-like ATMs via GPR43.

Gut microbiome is crucial for lipid metabolism in humans and animals. However, how specific gut microbiota and their associated metabolites impact fat deposition remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that the colonic microbiome of lean and obese pigs differentially contributes to fat deposition, as evidenced by colonic microbiota transplantation experiments.

Background/aim: Obese individuals often exhibit vitamin D deficiency, potentially due to sequestration in fat cells. Little is known about how vitamin D enters adipocytes and associates with the intracellular lipid droplet.
Materials And Methods: Newly differentiated human and mouse (3T3-L1) adipocytes and primary mouse adipocytes were treated with vitamin D covalently linked to green fluorescent BODIPY (VitD-B) or Green BODIPY (GB) as control.

TY1, a synthetic non-coding RNA (ncRNA) bioinspired by small Y RNAs abundant in extracellular vesicles (EVs), decreases cGAS/STING activation in myocardial infarction and thereby attenuates inflammation. Motivated by the concept that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a systemic inflammatory disease, we tested TY1 in a murine model of HFpEF. Intravenous TY1, packaged in a transfection reagent, reversed the cardiac and systemic manifestations of HFpEF in two-hit obese-hypertensive mice, without inducing weight loss.
