Adrenic acid is a 22‑carbon unsaturated fatty acid that is widely present in the adrenal gland, liver, brain, kidney and vascular system that plays a regulatory role in various pathophysiological processes, such as inflammatory reactions, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, vascular function, and cell death. Adrenic acid is a potential biomarker for various ailments, including metabolic, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In addition, adrenic acid is influenced by the pharmacological properties of several natural products, such as astragaloside IV, evodiamine, quercetin, kaempferol, Berberine‑baicalin and prebiotics, so it is a promising new target for clinical treatment and drug development. However, the molecular mechanisms by which adrenic acid exerts are unclear. The present study systematically reviewed the biosynthesis and metabolism of adrenic acid, focusing on intrinsic mechanisms that influence the progression of metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological disease. These mechanisms regulate several key processes, including immuno‑inflammatory response, oxidative stress, vascular function and cell death. In addition, the present study explored the potential clinical translational value of adrenic acid as a biomarker and therapeutic target. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is first systematic summary of the mechanisms of action of adrenic acid across a range of diseases. The present study provides understanding of the wide range of metabolic activities of adrenic acid and a basis for further exploring the pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of various diseases.

Objective:  Studies on the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on pregnant mothers and their newborns, specifically in relation to their micronutrient status, fatty acids (FAs), and inflammatory status are sparse. We hypothesized that COVID-19 infection would adversely affect the transfer of nutrients, and FAs from mothers to their fetuses via the umbilical cord and maternal-fetal distribution of inflammatory cells. This study aimed to determine the effect of COVID-19 on micronutrients, inflammatory markers, and FAs profiles in pregnant mothers and their newborns' cord blood.

Department of Nutrition, Diabetes and Metabolism, School of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago 8330077, Chile.

Background: The aim of this study was to identify the blood lipidomic profile associated with a healthy eating pattern in a middle-aged US population sample and to determine its relationship with metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk (CVR).

Methodology: Self-reported information about diet and blood samples were obtained from 2114 adult participants in the Midlife in the United States study (MIDUS). Food intake data were used to design a Healthy Diet Index (MIDUS-HEI) and to evaluate the predictive value by examining its association with health variables.

Ferroptosis, as an iron-dependent cell death mediated by lipid peroxidation, has sparked great interest in the tumor research community. Targeting ferroptosis has been proven to be a new therapeutic opportunity for inhibiting tumor growth. However, it is challenging to precisely characterize the metabolic pattern of ferroptosis in heterogeneous tumors and further identify ferroptosis-associated metabolic vulnerabilities for tumor treatment.
