Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase Type II (CPT II) deficiency is a disorder of fatty acid beta oxidation that causes decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and ketone production during periods of fasting or high energy requirements. Labor and delivery can precipitate attacks for parturients with this disorder, causing hypoglycemia, muscle weakness, rhabdomyolysis, and kidney failure. Anesthetic management considers the delivery mode and anesthetic medications available to reduce these risks. We present the case of a pregnant patient with CPT II deficiency with labor epidural analgesia and a vaginal delivery, with alternative plans had a different delivery mode been required.

Article Synopsis
  • Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a complication related to surgery involving cognitive decline, potentially influenced by neuroinflammation, ferroptosis, and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism, particularly via the protein Carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1a (CPT1A).
  • The study used SVG P12 astrocytes to explore how CPT1A affects mitochondrial function, inflammation, and neuron damage by overexpressing or knocking down CPT1A and assessing the resulting changes in cellular conditions.
  • Results showed that higher levels of CPT1A improved mitochondrial function and reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in astrocytes, which benefitted neuron health, while these effects depended on functional mitochondrial respiration, as demonstrated when treatments disrupted this process.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is one of the main chronic liver diseases. However, the roles of mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyl transferase-II (CPT-II) downregulation and liver cancer stem cell (LCSC) activation remain to be identified.

Aim: To investigate the dynamic alterations in CPT-II inactivity and LCSC activation during the malignant progression of MAFLD.

Beige adipocytes arise from white adipocytes in response to cold or other stimuli, known as browning of white adipose. Beige adipocytes play a role similar to that of brown adipocytes, express high levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), and are responsible for energy consumption via heat production, thus aiding in fat loss. Although histidine (His) and soy isoflavone (Iso) co-ingestion reportedly reduces food intake, body weight, and fat accumulation in female rats, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
