Background: As the global population ages, extending not only the life expectancy (LE) but also the healthy life expectancy (HALE) has become a critical public health objective. Dietary choices, especially the intake of various fatty acids, may play a role in achieving good health.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the intake of fatty acid (FA) fractions across different countries and explore its associations with HALE and LE from 2010 to 2019 according to publicly available international data.

Methods: Data on FA intake in 2010 were obtained from the Global Dietary Database. HALE and LE data were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. A total of 151 countries with populations exceeding 1 million people were included in the analysis. Associations of the intake of each FA with HALE and LE were assessed using linear mixed models adjusted for various covariates.

Results: High national omega-3 fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) intake was positively associated with both HALE (: 2.63, SE: 0.73,  < 0.001) and LE (: 2.32, SE: 0.63,  < 0.001). These associations remained unchanged when n-3 PUFAs were separated into plant-derived and seafood-derived n-3 PUFAs. No significant associations were observed for the other FAs.

Conclusion: Higher intake of n-3 PUFAs is positively associated with longer HALE and LE at the national level. These findings underscore the importance of dietary fat composition in promoting healthy aging. Further research is needed to develop public health strategies adapted to each country.

Hepatic lipogenesis combined with elevated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is central to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the therapeutic targeting of key molecules is considerably less accomplished. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapies offer a new solution for various human ailments.

An association between gut microbiota and the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been previously described. To better understand the bacterial microbiota changes accompanying PDAC promotion and progression stimulated by inflammation and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), we investigated stool and pancreatic microbiota by 16s RNA-based metagenomic analysis in mice with inducible acinar transgenic expressions of KrasG12D, and age- and sex-matched control mice that were exposed to inflammatory stimuli and fecal microbiota obtained from mice with PDAC. Time- and inflammatory-dependent stool and pancreatic bacterial composition alterations and stool alpha microbiota diversity reduction were observed only in mice with a Kras mutation that developed advanced pancreatic changes.

Lipotoxicity, resulting from the buildup of excess lipids in non-adipose tissues, is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to the progression of kidney disease, highlighting the need for alternative models to assess its effects on renal cells. The main aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of Caki-1, a human proximal tubule (PT) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) representative cell line, as a 3D model system for studying free fatty acid-induced PT lipotoxicity. Caki-1 spheroids were generated and maintained on ultra-low attachment plates and characterized regarding time-dependent morphology changes.

Macrophage apoptosis contributes to acute lung injury (ALI). However, the relationship between cell metabolism and the apoptosis of macrophages remains unclear. In our study, murine alveolar macrophages (MH-S) were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce an apoptosis model; cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis rate were determined.

Objective: Oxidative stress activates the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and excessive ROS can damage skin cells, initiating oxidative stress responses that contribute to inflammation, aging, and other skin issues. As a resident skin bacterium, Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) plays an important role in maintaining skin homeostasis and provides antioxidant benefits.
