Article Abstract
Mice deficient in acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), a key enzyme in triacylglycerol (TG) biosynthesis, are resistant to high-fat (HF) diet-induced hepatic steatosis and obesity. DGAT1-deficient (Dgat1-/-) mice have no defect in quantitative absorption of dietary fat; however, they have abnormally high levels of TG stored in the cytoplasm of enterocytes, and they have a reduced postprandial triglyceridemic response. We generated mice expressing DGAT1 only in the intestine (Dgat1IntONLY) to determine whether this phenotype contributes to resistance to HF diet-induced hepatic steatosis and obesity in Dgat1-/- mice. Despite lacking DGAT1 in liver and adipose tissue, we found that Dgat1IntONLY mice are not resistant to HF diet-induced hepatic steatosis or obesity. The results presented demonstrate that intestinal DGAT1 stimulates dietary fat secretion out of enterocytes and that altering this cellular function alters the fate of dietary fat in specific tissues.

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents an increasing global health problem in association with obesity and insulin resistance without approved pharmacotherapy. Previous studies revealed malic enzyme 1 (ME1) as a susceptibility gene for metabolic disorders in humans. However, the role and mechanisms of ME1 in regulating hepatic lipid metabolism remain largely unclear.

Kinases are activators of well‑known inflammatory cascades implicated in metabolic disorders, and abnormal activation of casein kinase II (CK2) is associated with several inflammatory disorders. However, thus far, its role in the low‑grade chronic inflammatory response known as 'metaflammation', which is a hallmark of obesity and type 2 diabetes, has not yet been elucidated. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of CK2 in diet‑induced metaflammation and the effects of the CK2 inhibitor 4,5,6,7‑tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB) on a murine model fed a high‑fat‑high‑sugar (HFHS) diet.

This study aimed to analyze the amino acid composition and characterize the sequences of collagen peptides from Skipjack tuna bones (TBCPs) by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and further investigate the function and mechanism of action of TBCPs in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The results showed that TBCPs contain 16 types of amino acids, among which glycine is the most abundant, and hydrophobic amino acids account for 40.75 %.

Aims: Experimental evidence suggests an important role for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and its generating enzymes sphingosine kinase 1/2 (SphK1/2) in obesity. We and others have shown that plasma S1P levels are elevated in obese mice and humans. Preclinical studies suggest that genetic SphK2 ablation in mice protects from age- and diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction.

Background: Evaluation of the combined effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and dietary factors provides critical information for cumulative health risk assessment. Herein, we investigated the effects of cadmium (Cd) exposure and high fructose (HFr) diet on metabolic and reproductive health in female mice.
Methods: Female CD-1 mice were exposed to cadmium chloride (CdCl) (0.
