metabolism of epoxy fatty acids, the unsaturated fatty acid oxidation products formed upon heating of edible oils, remains unclear. Here, we compared the catabolic rates and accumulation of dietary and epoxy octadecanoic acids (epoxy-C18:0) with those of oleic acid (C18:1) in mice using stable isotope-labeled compounds. Both epoxy isomers were catabolized more rapidly than C18:1, with epoxy-C18:0 exhibiting a slightly faster rate than epoxy-C18:0. The concentrations of and epoxy-C18:0 were significantly lower than those of C18:1 in the plasma, small intestine, and liver, with epoxy-C18:0 accumulation being lower than epoxy-C18:0 accumulation. These results indicate that epoxy-C18:0 isomers are preferentially catabolized and accumulate less in the body than C18:1. The structural differences between and epoxy-C18:0 isomers may influence their metabolic fate. This is the first comprehensive elucidation of the catabolism and body accumulation of dietary epoxy fatty acids, providing insights for food safety assessment.

Obesity is a multifactorial disease characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, resulting from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. Mouse models have emerged as invaluable tools for elucidating the complex genetic, environmental, and physiological mechanisms driving to obesity. This chapter provides an overview of the methodologies employed to establish and study obesity in mice, highlighting their relevance to human disease.

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.

Gut-mitochondria is an emerging paradigm in understanding the pathophysiology of complex neuropsychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia (SCZ). This bidirectional communication network connects the gastrointestinal microbiota with mitochondrial function and brain health, offering novel insights into disease onset and progression. SCZ, characterized by hallucinations, delusions, cognitive impairments, and social withdrawal, has traditionally been attributed to genetic and neurochemical imbalances.

The gut microbiota and its products are recognized as pivotal contributors to the pathogenesis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Shenling Jianpiwei formula (SLJPW), a prescription renowned for its protective effects in intestinal disorders, demonstrates efficacy against MAFLD. However, its underlying mechanisms and chemical composition remain unclear.

Objective: to compare the effect of salt consumption on blood pressure (BP) of an indigenous and of a non-indigenous population in Brazil.
Design: the studies were carried out in the years of 1999-2004 in an urban population of Vitória (n = 1,663), the capital of Espírito Santo State, and in an indigenous population settled in a reserve of Aracruz (n = 663). Salt consumption was evaluated by a 12-hour overnight urine collect.
