Article Abstract

Objective: : Since the liver is key to poultry lipid metabolism and fasting models are widely used in studying animal nutrition metabolism, this study used fasting to explore chicken liver lipid metabolism characteristics, providing a basis for poultry lipid metabolism research.

Method: : RNA-seq and metabolomics were combined to analyze 72-hour fasting effects on chicken liver lipid metabolism. Key lipid metabolism-related genes and metabolites were identified, with their mechanisms explored via RNAi and Oil Red O staining.

Result: : Metabolomics identified 648 differential metabolites, including 8 (e.g., Arachidonoyl amine) with levels 160-fold higher than controls. Transcriptomics found 849 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 78 involved in lipid metabolism; PPI analysis revealed hub genes like EHHADH. Transcriptome-metabolome correlation analysis showed 101 DEGs correlated with 99 metabolites, with EHHADH associated with 54 metabolites (the most) and linked to 2-methylcrotonoyl-CoA and 5 pathways via KGML. Fasting upregulated EHHADH, whose overexpression/interference altered mRNA levels of Fabp7, Plin2, ACACA, FASN, PPARα, as well as cholesterol/triglyceride levels. EHHADH overexpression reduced LMH cell lipid deposition, while interference increased it, indicating its role in reducing lipid deposition.

Conclusion: : Fasting significantly alters chicken liver lipid metabolism, and EHHADH helps reduce liver lipid deposition.

A scoping review on the possible immunometabolic properties of the furan fatty acid metabolite 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionic acid.

Circulating levels of 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionic acid (CMPF), a metabolite derived from dietary furan fatty acids primarily found in marine food sources, have long been recognized as biomarkers for fish intake. However, elevated CMPF levels are also observed in patients with type 2 diabetes or chronic kidney disease and in healthy people associated with a reduced infection risk, suggesting potential bioactive roles in metabolism and immune function. Yet, the possible causal mechanisms behind these associations are unknown.

Background: Red and processed meat consumption is extensively linked to chronic disease risk in observational studies, with robust meta-analyses demonstrating significant positive associations for colorectal, breast, endometrial, and lung cancers, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality. Dose-response relationships indicate elevated risks even at moderate intakes. Moreover, processed meats consistently show stronger detrimental effects than unprocessed red meats.

Metaflammation, a chronic immune response triggered by metabolic dysregulation, poses significant threats to gut-liver homeostasis in aquaculture species. To understand the progression of metaflammation, it is crucial to examine the role of SOCS8 deficiency in socs8 zebrafish, as this species may serve as a disease model for metabolic disorders due to the gradual dysregulation of immunity, metabolism, and the gut microbiota observed in them. This study examines the immune-metabolic crosstalk in grass carp, subjected to soybean meal-induced enteritis, and in socs8 zebrafish under genetic and dietary stress.

Background: Benzene, a ubiquitous industrial chemical, is a well-established environmental toxin associated with hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which are characterized by impaired hematopoiesis and bone marrow failure. This study investigates the role of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, in benzene-induced hematotoxicity, focusing on the repression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a critical regulator of ferroptosis.

Materials And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to benzene at various doses over six weeks.

The role of lipid metabolism disorder in the progression and treatment of ocular vascular diseases.

Lipid metabolism plays a critical role in maintaining normal physiological functions and is strongly linked to the pathogenesis of ocular vascular diseases. This review examines how disorders of lipid metabolism drive progression in ocular vascular diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular occlusive diseases, and retinopathy of prematurity. These disorders are classified as a related group due to their common feature of impaired ocular vascularization.
