RESUMO
Fatty acid desaturase (FADS1) variant-rs174550 strongly regulates polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis. Additionally, the FADS1 has been shown to be related to mitochondrial function. Thus, we investigated whether changes in mitochondrial function are associated with the genetic variation in FADS1 (rs174550) in human adipocytes isolated from individuals consuming diets enriched with either dietary alpha-linolenic (ALA) or linoleic acid (LA). Two cohorts of men homozygous for the genotype of FADS1 (rs174550) were studied: FADSDIET2 dietary intervention study with ALA- and LA-enriched diets and Kuopio Obesity Surgery study (KOBS), respectively. We could demonstrate that differentiated human adipose-derived stromal cells from subjects with the TT genotype had higher mitochondrial metabolism compared with subjects with the CC genotype of FADS1-rs174550 in the FADSDIET2. Responses to PUFA-enriched diets differed between the genotypes of FADS1-rs174550, showing that ALA, but not LA, -enriched diet stimulated mitochondrial metabolism more in subjects with the CC genotype when compared with subjects with the TT genotype. ALA, but not LA, proportion in plasma phospholipid fraction correlated positively with adipose tissue mitochondrial-DNA amount in subjects with the CC genotype of FADS1-rs174550 in the KOBS. These findings demonstrate that the FADS1-rs174550 is associated with modification in mitochondrial function in human adipocytes. Additionally, subjects with the CC genotype, when compared with the TT genotype, benefit more from the ALA-enriched diet, leading to enhanced energy metabolism in human adipocytes. Altogether, the FADS1-rs174550 could be a genetic marker to identify subjects who are most suitable to receive dietary PUFA supplementation, establishing also a personalized therapeutic strategy to improve mitochondrial function in metabolic diseases.
RESUMO
The composition of gut microbiota is determined not only by genetic factors but also by environmental factors, such as diet, exercise, and disease conditions. Among these factors, diet is crucial in changing the gut microbial composition. Dietary lipids composed of different fatty acids not only alter host metabolism but also have a significant impact on the composition of gut microbiota. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between these host effects and their impact on gut microbiota remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that intake of different dietary lipids improved glucose tolerance by modulating gut microbiota. The results of our analysis show that the taxa of bacteria that increase in number as a result of dietary lipid intake play an important role in glucose metabolism. Thus, we have identified a new mechanism underlying the function of dietary lipids in regulating glucose homeostasis. Our findings contribute to possible new methods to prevent and treat metabolic disorders by modifying the composition of gut microbiota.

Milk lipids greatly affect the volatile flavor of milk, and the relationship between lipids and volatile flavor in yak milk was explored in this study. The volatile flavor compounds (VFCs), lipids profile, fatty acids in yak ordinary milk and colostrum were detected with HP/SPME-GC-MS, the semiquantitative lipidomics based on LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, respectively. The VFCs differences in yak milk were closely related to 1-((1 s,3ar,4r,7 s,7as)-4-hydroxy-7-isopropyl-4-methyloctahloctahydro-1h-inden-1-Yl)-ethanone,2,6,6-trimethyl-2,4-cycloheptadien-1-one, pentanal, 2-phenylethyl propionate, octanoic acid methyl ester, diphosphoric acid diisooctyl ester, (Z)-3,4,4-trimethyl-5-oxo-2-hexenoic acid and acetic acid. The volatile flavor in yak milk was well correlated with milk lipids, and TG(4:0_12:3_18:1), TG(6:0_8:0_18:1), TG(4:0_12:3_18:1), TG(12:0_18:2_18:3) and TG(16:0e_18:1_22:5) were the crucial lipid molecules affecting volatile flavor. The degeneration of above lipids by hydrolysis produced some fatty acids and alcohol, then these compounds were further derived into other VFCs especially above crucial 8 molecules. This study provided a theoretical basis for improving the volatile flavor by controlling lipids in yak milk.
RESUMO
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to summarize recently published peer reviewed papers on the influence of treatment with Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors (InSTI) in people with HIV (HIV) on metabolic health, including weight gain, lipid parameters, glucose homeostasis, and bone health. RECENT FINDINGS: InSTI have a mild/moderate effect on weight gain in both antiretroviral (ART) naïve and ART experienced PWH, which is more pronounced in certain groups (i.e. women, people of Black African ethnicity, those with lower socioeconomic status, and older people). The effect on weight is also driven by other components of the ART regimen as well as previous exposure to certain ART. InSTI have a relatively safe profile in terms of lipid parameters and bone health, compared to other ART classes, although some studies suggest a greater risk of insulin resistance and diabetes in PWH using InSTI, especially 2nd generation InSTI. While there is some evidence suggesting a negative impact of InSTI on some aspects of metabolic health (weight gain and glucose homeostasis), they remain the preferred treatment option for most PWH, due to their high efficacy and tolerability. However, an individualised approach to ART choice in PWH should be used in order to avoid negative outcomes in populations at higher risks of metabolic complications.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gallstone disease affects ≥40 million people in the USA and accounts for health costs of ≥$4 billion a year. Risk factors such as obesity and metabolic syndrome are well established. However, data are limited on relevant metabolomic alterations that could offer mechanistic and predictive insights into gallstone disease. This study prospectively identifies and externally validates circulating prediagnostic metabolites associated with incident gallstone disease. METHODS: Female participants in Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHS II) who were free of known gallstones (N=9960) were prospectively followed up after baseline metabolomic profiling with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariable logistic regression and enrichment analysis were used to identify metabolites and metabolite groups associated with incident gallstone disease at PFDR<0.05. Findings were validated in 1866 female participants in the Women's Health Initiative and a comparative analysis was performed with 2178 male participants in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. RESULTS: After multivariate adjustment for lifestyle and putative risk factors, we identified and externally validated 17 metabolites associated with incident gallstone disease in women-nine triacylglycerols (TAGs) and diacylglycerols (DAGs) were positively associated, while eight plasmalogens and cholesterol ester (CE) were negatively associated. Enrichment analysis in male and female cohorts revealed positive class associations with DAGs, TAGs (≤56 carbon atoms and ≤3 double bonds) and de novo TAG biosynthesis pathways, as well as inverse associations with CEs. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights several metabolites (TAGs, DAGs, plasmalogens and CE) that could be implicated in the aetiopathogenesis of gallstone disease and serve as clinically relevant markers.

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists have been shown to reduce major cardiovascular events in diabetic patients, but their role in heart failure (HF) remains controversial. Recent evidence implies their potential benefits on cardiometabolism such as lipid metabolism, which may contribute to lowering the risk of HF. Consequently, we designed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the causal relationships of circulating lipids mediating GLP1R agonists in HF. METHODS: The available cis-eQTLs for GLP1R target gene were selected as instrumental variables (IVs) of GLP1R agonism. Positive control analyses of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and body mass index (BMI) were conducted to validate the enrolled IVs. Two-sample MR was performed to evaluate the associations between GLP1R agonism and HF as well as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Summary data for HF and LVEF were obtained from two genome-wide association studies (GWASs), which included 977,323 and 40,000 individuals of European ancestry, respectively. The primary method employed was the random-effects inverse variance weighted, with several other methods used for sensitivity analyses, including MR-Egger, MR PRESSO, and weighted median. Additionally, multivariable MR and mediation MR were applied to identify potentially causal lipid as mediator. RESULTS: A total of 18 independent IVs were included. The positive control analyses showed that GLP1R agonism significantly reduced the risk of T2DM (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.75-0.85, p < 0.0001) and decreased BMI (OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.93-0.96, p < 0.0001), ensuring the effectiveness of selected IVs. We found favorable evidence to support the protective effect of GLP1R agonism on HF (OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.71-0.79, p < 0.0001), but there was no obvious correlation with increased LVEF (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.95-1.06, p = 0.8332). Among the six blood lipids, only low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was both associated with GLP1R agonism and HF. The causal effect of GLP1R agonism on HF was partially mediated through LDL-C by 4.23% of the total effect (95% CI = 1.04-7.42%, p = 0.0093). CONCLUSIONS: This study supported the causal relationships of GLP1R agonists with a reduced risk of HF. LDL-C might be the mediator in this association, highlighting the cardiometabolic benefit of GLP1R agonists on HF.
RESUMO
An over-active renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is characterized by elevated angiotensin II (Ang II). While Ang II can promote metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction in tissues, little is known about its role in the gastrointestinal system (GI). Here, we treated rat primary colonic epithelial cells with Ang II (1-5000 nM) to better define their role in the GI. We hypothesized that Ang II would negatively affect mitochondrial bioenergetics as these organelles express Ang II receptors. Ang II increased cellular ATP production but reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of colonocytes. However, cells maintained mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis with treatment, reflecting metabolic compensation with impaired MMP. To determine whether lipid dysregulation was evident, untargeted lipidomics were conducted. A total of 1949 lipids were detected in colonocytes spanning 55 distinct (sub)classes. Ang II (1 nM) altered the abundance of some sphingosines [So(d16:1)], ceramides [Cer-AP(t18:0/24:0)], and phosphatidylcholines [OxPC(16:0_20:5(2O)], while 100 nM Ang II altered some triglycerides and phosphatidylserines [PS(19:0_22:1). Ang II did not alter the relative expression of several enzymes in lipid metabolism; however, the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 (PDK2) was increased, and PDK2 can be protective against dyslipidemia. This study is the first to investigate the role of Ang II in colonic epithelial cell metabolism.

Aggregation of α-synuclein (αSyn) and its accumulation as Lewy bodies play a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the mechanism by which αSyn aggregates in the brain remains unclear. Biochemical studies have demonstrated that αSyn interacts with lipids, and these interactions affect the aggregation process of αSyn. Furthermore, genetic studies have identified mutations in lipid metabolism-associated genes such as glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA1) and synaptojanin 1 (SYNJ1) in sporadic and familial forms of PD, respectively. In this review, we focus on the role of lipids in triggering αSyn aggregation in the pathogenesis of PD and propose the possibility of modulating the interaction of lipids with αSyn as a potential therapy for PD.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms including cognitive impairment and dementia. The etiopathogenesis of PD, as well as its protective and susceptibility factors, are still elusive. 3-Hydroxy-3-methyglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) is an enzyme regulating cholesterol synthesis. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene coding HMGCR have recently been correlated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing of exon 13 of the HMGCR transcript and its strongly associated HMGCR haplotype 7 (H7: rs17244841, rs3846662, rs17238540) may downregulate protein activity and cholesterol synthesis, with lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels associated with PD that may affect cognitive abilities. We genotyped three SNPs in the H7 HMGCR gene in 306 PD patients divided into three groups-without cognitive decline, with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and with PD dementia-and in 242 healthy participants. A correlation between the rs17238540 genotype and PD susceptibility as well as a minor association between rs3846662 and cognitive status in PD patients was observed; however, the two-sided analysis of these groups did not reveal any significance. We observed a statistically significant elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) plasma level in the minor allele carriers of rs17238540 and rs17244841 among PD patients. This study should be replicated in a larger population.

Lipids are organic nonpolar molecules with essential biological and economic importance. While the genetic pathways and regulatory networks of lipid biosynthesis and metabolism have been extensively studied and thoroughly reviewed in oil crops such as soybeans, less attention has been paid to the biological roles of lipids in rice, a staple food for the global population and a model species for plant molecular biology research, leaving a considerable knowledge gap in the biological roles of lipids. In this review, we endeavor to furnish a current overview of the advancements in understanding the genetic foundations and physiological functions of lipids, including triacylglycerol, fatty acids, and very-long-chain fatty acids. We aim to summarize the key genes in lipid biosynthesis, metabolism, and transcriptional regulation underpinning rice's developmental and growth processes, biotic stress responses, abiotic stress responses, fertility, seed longevity, and recent efforts in rice oil genetic improvement.

Food allergy, referred to as the atypical physiological overreaction of the immune system after exposure to specific food components, is considered one of the major concerns in food safety. The prevalence of this emerging worldwide problem has been increasing during the last decades, especially in industrialized countries, being estimated to affect 6-8% of young children and about 2-4% of adults. Marine organisms are an important source of bioactive substances with the potential to functionally improve the immune system, reduce food allergy sensitization and development, and even have an anti-allergic action in food allergy. The present investigation aims to be a comprehensive report of marine bioactive compounds with verified actions to improve food allergy and identified mechanisms of actions rather than be an exhaustive compilation of all investigations searching beneficial effects of marine compounds in FA. Particularly, this research highlights the capacity of bioactive components extracted from marine microbial, animal, algae, and microalgae sources, such as n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), polysaccharide, oligosaccharide, chondroitin, vitamin D, peptides, pigments, and polyphenols, to regulate the immune system, epigenetic regulation, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis that are essential factors in the sensitization and effector phases of food allergy. In conclusion, the marine ecosystem is an excellent source to provide foods with the capacity to improve the hypersensitivity induced against specific food allergens and also bioactive compounds with a potential pharmacological aptitude to be applied as anti-allergenic in food allergy.

Treatment of fatty acid oxidation disorders is based on dietary, pharmacological and metabolic decompensation measures. It is essential to provide the patient with sufficient glucose to prevent lipolysis and to avoid the use of fatty acids as fuel as far as possible. Dietary management consists of preventing periods of fasting and restricting fat intake by increasing carbohydrate intake, while maintaining an adequate and uninterrupted caloric intake. In long-chain deficits, long-chain triglyceride restriction should be 10% of total energy, with linoleic acid and linolenic acid intake of 3-4% and 0.5-1% (5/1-10/1 ratio), with medium-chain triglyceride supplementation at 10-25% of total energy (total MCT+LCT ratio = 20-35%). Trihepatnoin is a new therapeutic option with a good safety and efficacy profile. Patients at risk of rhabdomyolysis should ingest MCT or carbohydrates or a combination of both 20 min before exercise. In medium- and short-chain deficits, dietary modifications are not advised (except during exacerbations), with MCT contraindicated and slow sugars recommended 20 min before any significant physical exertion. Parents should be alerted to the need to increase the amount and frequency of carbohydrate intake in stressful situations. The main measure in emergency hospital treatment is the administration of IV glucose. The use of carnitine remains controversial and new therapeutic options are under investigation.

Human milk (HM) composition, including metabolic hormones and lipids, is influenced by various factors, including lactation stage and, potentially, infant sex, which may affect infant body composition (BC) development. We aimed to: (a) characterize the longitudinal concentration and intake profiles of HM leptin, adiponectin, insulin, and total lipids; (b) determine if their concentrations and intakes differ by infant sex; and (c) explore the intakes relationships with the development of infant BC. Milk samples (n = 501) were collected from 82 mother-infant dyads during the first 6 months postpartum. Infant 24 h HM intake was measured, and the average cumulative HM component intakes were calculated. The statistical analysis used linear mixed modeling. Intakes of HM leptin, adiponectin, insulin, and total lipids increased to 1 month postpartum and then remained stable. HM intake and total lipids intake but not hormone intakes were positively associated with infant BC (fat-free mass, fat-free mass index, fat mass, fat mass index, percentage fat mass, and fat mass to fat-free mass ratio). HM component concentrations and intakes did not differ by sex. These findings advance our understanding of the temporal nature of HM components, emphasizing the role of infant 24 h HM and total lipids intake in development of infant lean and adipose tissue.

The growing field of nanotechnology presents opportunity for applications across many sectors. Nanostructures, such as nanoparticles, hold distinct properties based on their size, shape, and chemical modifications that allow them to be utilized in both highly specific as well as broad capacities. As the classification of nanoparticles becomes more well-defined and the list of applications grows, it is imperative that their toxicity be investigated. One such cellular system that is of importance are cellular membranes (biomembranes). Membranes present one of the first points of contact for nanoparticles at the cellular level. This review will address current studies aimed at defining the biomolecular interactions of nanoparticles at the level of the cell membrane, with a specific focus of the interactions of nanoparticles with prominent lipid systems.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Clinical and genetic studies have implicated lipid dysfunction in Alzheimer Disease (AD) pathogenesis. However, lipid consumption at the individual-level does not vary greatly within most cohorts, and multiple lipids are rarely measured in any one study. METHODS: Mean country-level lipid intakes were compared to Age-Standardized Alzheimer-Disease-Incidence-Rates(ASAIR) in 183 countries across all inhabited continents. Penalized spline regression and multivariable-adjusted linear regression, including a lag between intake and incidence, were used to assess the relationships between five lipid intakes and ASAIR. Validation was conducted using longitudinal within-country changes between 1990 and 2019. RESULTS: Omega6 Polyunsaturated-Fatty-Acid(PUFA) intake exhibited a positive linear relationship with ASAIR(multivariable-adjusted model: ß=2.44; 95%CI: 1.70, 3.19; p=1.38×10-9). ASAIR also increased with saturated-fat, trans-fat, and dietary-cholesterol up to a threshold. The association between Omega6-PUFA and ASAIR was confirmed using longitudinal intake changes. DISCUSSION: Decreasing Omega6-PUFA consumption on the country-level may have substantial benefits in reducing the country-level burden of AD.
RESUMO
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) critically affects female reproductive health, with obesity being a significant and recognized risk factor. Interleukin-27 (IL-27), known for its role in immune modulation and inflammation, has garnered attention in metabolic syndrome research. Nonetheless, the role of these immunometabolic factors on the initiation of POI remains to be unraveled. Our investigation delves into the influence of impaired IL-27 signaling on POI induction, particularly under the challenge of a high-fat diet (HFD). We analyzed patients' serum profiles and established a correlation of increased serum triglycerides with decreased IL-27 levels in POI cases. Experiments on C57BL/6 mice lacking the IL-27 receptor alpha (Il27ra-/-) revealed that when subjected to HFD, these mice developed hallmark POI symptoms. This includes escalated lipid deposition in both liver and ovarian tissues, increased ovarian macrophages cellular aging, and diminished follicle count, all pointing to compromised ovarian function. These findings unveil a novel pathway wherein impaired IL-27 signaling potentiates the onset of POI in the presence of HFD. Understanding the intricate interplay between IL-27, metabolic alterations, and immune dysregulation sheds light on potential therapeutic avenues for managing POI, offering hope for improved reproductive health outcomes.
RESUMO
Rhamnolipids (RLs) and Fengycins (FGs) are biosurfactants with very promising antifungal properties proposed to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides in crops. They are amphiphilic molecules, both known to target the plasma membrane. They act differently on Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, two close Sclerotiniaceae phytopathogenic fungi. RLs are more efficient at permeabilizing S. sclerotiorum, and FGs are more efficient at permeabilizing B. cinerea mycelial cells. To study the link between the lipid membrane composition and the activity of RLs and FGs, we analyzed the lipid profiles of B. cinerea and S. sclerotiorum. We determined that unsaturated or saturated C18 and saturated C16 fatty acids are predominant in both fungi. We also showed that phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidic acid (PA), and phosphatidylcholine (PC) are the main phospholipids (in this order) in both fungi, with more PA and less PC in S. sclerotiorum. The results were used to build biomimetic lipid membrane models of B. cinerea and S. sclerotiorum for all-atom molecular dynamic simulations and solid-state NMR experiments to more deeply study the interactions between RLs or FGs with different compositions of lipid bilayers. Distinctive effects are exerted by both compounds. RLs completely insert in all the studied model membranes with a fluidification effect. FGs tend to form aggregates out of the bilayer and insert individually more easily into the models representative of B. cinerea than those of S. sclerotiorum, with a higher fluidification effect. These results provide new insights into the lipid composition of closely related fungi and its impact on the mode of action of very promising membranotropic antifungal molecules for agricultural applications.
RESUMO
The study aimed at how dietary milk polar lipids affect gut permeability, systemic inflammation, and lipid metabolism during diet-induced obesity (DIO). C57BL/6J mice (n = 6x3) were fed diets with 34% fat as energy for 15 weeks: (1) modified AIN-93G diet (CO); (2) CO with milk gangliosides (GG); (3) CO with milk phospholipids (MPL). Gut permeability was assessed by FITC-dextran and sugar absorption tests. Intestinal tight junction proteins were evaluated by Western blot. Plasma cytokines were measured by immunoassay. Body composition was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Tissue lipid profiles were obtained by thin layer chromatography. Hepatic expression of genes associated with lipid metabolism was assessed by RT-qPCR. MPL increased the efficiency of converting food into body fat and facilitated body fat accumulation compared with CO. MPL and GG did not affect fasting glucose or HOMA-IR during DIO. MPL increased while GG decreased plasma TG compared with CO. MPL decreased phospholipids subclasses in the muscle while increased those in the liver compared with CO. GG and MPL had little effect on hepatic expression of genes associated with lipid metabolism. Compared with CO, MPL decreased polar lipids content in colon mucosa. Small intestinal permeability decreased while colon permeability increased and then recovered during the feeding period. High-fat feeding increased plasma endotoxin after DIO but did not affect plasma cytokines. MPL and GG did not affect plasma endotoxin, adipokines and inflammatory cytokines. After the establishment of obesity, MPL increased gut permeability to large molecules but decreased intestinal absorption of small molecules while GG tended to have the opposite effects. MPL and GG decreased mannitol and sucralose excretions, which peaked at d 45 in the CO group. MPL decreased occludin in jejunum mucosa compared with CO. GG and MPL did not affect zonula occludens-1 in gut mucosa. In conclusion, during DIO, milk GG decreased gut permeability, and had little effect on systemic inflammation and lipid metabolism; MPL facilitated body fat accumulation, decreased gut permeability, did not affect systemic inflammation.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between serum irisin levels and glucose and lipid metabolism among adolescents in Yinchuan City. METHODS: From 2017 to 2020, a conbination of convenient sampling and stratified cluster random sampling method were used to select 1219 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years old in Yinchuan City as research subjects. The height and weight were measured using the height and sitting height meter and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Blood indicators such as fasting plasma glucose(FPG), totalcholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) were measured using fully automatic biochemical analyzer. Serum irisin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between irisin and abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism. RESULTS: The FPG, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C levels of subjects in the highest tertile of irisin levels were significantly lower than those of subjects in the lowest tertile of irisin levels(F values were 5.13, 3.15, 3.07 and 5.01, P<0.05), and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). The serum irisin levels in the hyperglycemia group(t=2.87, P<0.01), hypercholesterolemia group(t=2.36, P=0.02) and hyperLDL-Cemia group(t=2.34, P=0.02) were significantly lower than those in the normoglycemia group, normal TC group and normal LDL-C group. Meanwhile, the irisin level in the low HDL-Cemia group(t=-2.57, P=0.01) was significantly higher than that in the normal HDL-C group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Participants in the highest tertile of irisin had 0.51, 0.49 and 0.50 times the risk of hyperglycemia(OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.29-0.87), hypercholesterolemia(OR=0.49, 95%CI 0.27-0.89) and hyperLDL-cemia(OR=0.50, 95%CI 0.25-0.99) compared with those in the lowest tertile. CONCLUSION: Low levels of irisin are associated with the occurrence of hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperLDL-Cemia in adolescents.

Lipid oxidation in air-fried seafood poses a risk to human health. However, the effect of a prooxidant environment on lipid oxidation in seafood at different air frying (AF) temperatures remains unknown. An integrated machine learning (ML) - guided REIMS and lipidomics method was applied to explore lipid profiles, lipid oxidation, and lipid metabolic pathways of salmons under different AF temperatures (140, 160, 180, and 200 °C). A significant difference in the lipidomic fingerprinting of air-dried salmon at different temperatures was shown by the main ML methods (neural networks, support vector machines, ensemble learning, and naïve bayes). In total, 773 differential expression metabolites (DEMs) were identified, including glycerophospholipids (GPs), glycerides (GLs), and sphingolipids. A total of 34 DEMs with p values <0.05 and variable importance of projection values >1.0 were analyzed, belonging to linoleic acid metabolism, GL metabolism, and GP metabolism pathways. Correlation network analysis revealed that some characteristic DEMs (phosphatidylcholine, lyso-phosphatidylcholine, triglycerides, fatty acids, and phosphatidylethanolamine) were highly correlated with lipid oxidation. In addition, variations of volatile compounds, color values, texture characteristics, and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance values were analyzed to corroborate the oxidation characteristics.
