Obesity is characterized by an enhanced infiltration of macrophages to adipose tissues, which is closely associated with the low-grade inflammatory state and obesity-related pathologies such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. We showed here that dehydroabietic acid (DAA) is a potent PPARα/γ dual activator. Furthermore, we examined the anti-inflammatory effects of DAA in stimulated macrophages and in the coculture of macrophages and adipocytes. DAA significantly suppressed the production of proinflammatory mediators such as MCP-1, TNF-α, and NO in stimulated RAW 264 macrophages and in the coculture of RAW 264 macrophages and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These results suggest that DAA is a valuable medicinal and food component for improving inflammatory changes associated with obesity-related diabetes. 相似文献

Docosahexaenoic acid: membrane properties of a unique fatty acid 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with 22-carbons and 6 double bonds is the extreme example of an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). DHA has strong medical implications since its dietary presence has been positively linked to the prevention of numerous human afflictions including cancer and heart disease. The PUFA, moreover, is essential to neurological function. It is remarkable that one simple molecule has been reported to affect so many seemingly unrelated biological processes. Although details of a molecular mode of action remain elusive, DHA must be acting at a fundamental level common to many tissues that is related to the high degree of conformational flexibility that the multiple double bonds have been identified to confer. One likely target for DHA action is at the cell membrane where the fatty acid is known to readily incorporate into membrane phospholipids. Once esterified into phospholipids DHA has been demonstrated to significantly alter many basic properties of membranes including acyl chain order and "fluidity", phase behavior, elastic compressibility, permeability, fusion, flip-flop and protein activity. It is concluded that DHA's interaction with other membrane lipids, particularly cholesterol, may play a prominent role in modulating the local structure and function of cell membranes. 相似文献

During the screening of a variety of plant sources for their anti-obesity activity, it was found that a water-soluble extract, named PG105, prepared from stem parts of Cucurbita moschata, contains potent anti-obesity activities in a high fat diet-induced obesity mouse model. In this animal model, increases in body weight and fat storage were suppressed by 8-week oral administration of PG105 at 500 mg/kg, while the overall amount of food intake was not affected. Furthermore, PG105 protected the development of fatty liver and increased the hepatic beta-oxidation activity. Results from blood analysis showed that the levels of triglyceride and cholesterol were significantly lowered by PG105 administration, and also that the level of leptin was reduced, while that of adiponectin was increased. To understand the underlying mechanism at the molecular level, the effects of PG105 were examined on the expression of the genes involved in lipid metabolism by Northern blot analysis. In the liver of PG105-treated mice, the mRNA level of lipogenic genes such as SREBP-1c and SCD-1 was decreased, while that of lipolytic genes such as PPARalpha, ACO-1, CPT-1, and UCP-2 was modestly increased. Our data suggest that PG105 may have great potential as a novel anti-obesity agent in that both inhibition of lipid synthesis and acceleration of fatty acid breakdown are induced by this reagent. 相似文献

LXR, PXR, and PPARα are members of a nuclear receptor family which regulate the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism. Here, we show the administration of T0901317 stimulates PPARα gene expression in the small intestine but not in the liver of both normal and FXR-null mice. The administration of LXR specific ligand GW3965, or PXR specific ligand PCN has the same effect, indicating that ligand-dependent activation of LXR and PXR, but not FXR, is responsible for the increased gene expression of PPARα in the mouse small intestine. 相似文献

On a nutritional standpoint, lipids are now being studied beyond their energy content and fatty acid (FA) profiles. Dietary FA are building blocks of a huge diversity of more complex molecules such as triacylglycerols (TAG) and phospholipids (PL), themselves organised in supramolecular structures presenting different thermal behaviours. They are generally embedded in complex food matrixes. Recent reports have revealed that molecular and supramolecular structures of lipids and their liquid or solid state at the body temperature influence both the digestibility and metabolism of dietary FA. The aim of the present review is to highlight recent knowledge on the impact on FA digestion, absorption and metabolism of: (i) the intramolecular structure of TAG; (ii) the nature of the lipid molecules carrying FA; (iii) the supramolecular organization and physical state of lipids in native and formulated food products and (iv) the food matrix. Further work should be accomplished now to obtain a more reliable body of evidence and integrate these data in future dietary recommendations. Additionally, innovative lipid formulations in which the health beneficial effects of either native or recomposed structures of lipids will be taken into account can be foreseen. 相似文献

In plant, unusual fatty acids are produced by a limited number of species. The industrial benefits of these unusual structures have led several groups to study their production in transgenic plants. Their research results led to very modest accumulation in seeds which was largely due to a limited knowledge of the lipid metabolism and fatty acid transfer in plants. More specifically we need to better understand the substrate specificity and selectivity of acyltransferases which are required for the incorporation of these unusual fatty acids into storage triacylglycerols. In our studies we have compared the incorporation of [14C] Oleoyl-CoA and Branched Chain Acyls-CoA into [3H] LPA-C18:1 by the Lysophosphatidic acid Acyltransferase (LPAAT) from developing seeds of agronomic plants (flax (Linum usitatissimum) and rape (Brassica napus)) and from a plant capable of producing high amounts of hydroxy fatty acids (castor bean (Ricinus communis)). Our assays demonstrate that LPAATs of the three studied species (1) incorporated preferentially oleyl-CoA, (2) could incorporate cyclopropane acyl-CoA when added alone as a substrate, however very weakly for rapeseed and castor bean seeds, (3) presented a low capacity to incorporate methyl branched acyl-CoA when added alone as a substrate (4) weakly incorporated cyclopropane acyl-CoA and was unable to incorporate methyl branched acyl-CoA when presented with an equimolar mix of oleyl-CoA and branched chain acyl-CoA. In all cases, the LPAAT had a low affinity for branched chain acyl-CoAs. The results show that LPAAT activity from agronomic plants constitutes a bottleneck for the incorporation of branched Chain acyl-CoA into PA. 相似文献

3-Iodothyronamine is considered as a derivate of thyroid hormone as a result of enzymatic deiodination and decarboxylation.
The physiological role of thyronamine (T1AM) is not known. The aim of this study was to analyze the metabolic response to
T1AM in the Djungarian hamster Phodopus sungorus. We measured the influence of T1AM (50 mg/kg) on metabolic rate (VO2), body temperature (T
b) and respiratory quotient (RQ) in this species and in BL/6 mice. T1AM treated hamsters as well as the mice showed a rapid
decrease in VO2 and T
b, accompanied by a reduction of RQ from normal values of about ∼0.9 to ∼0.70 for several hours. This indicates that carbohydrate
utilisation is blocked by the injection of T1AM and that metabolic pathways are rerouted from carbohydrate to lipid utilisation
in response to T1AM. This assumption was further supported by the observation that the treatment of T1AM caused ketonuria
and a significant loss of body fat. Our results indicate that T1AM has the potential to control the balance between glucose
and lipid utilisation in vivo. 相似文献

The fatty acid composition and content of membrane and storage lipids of two transgenic laurate-producing rape (Brassica napus L.) lines were monitored during seed development. The two lines, the medium-laurate (ML) line and the high-laurate (HL) line,
accumulated 34 mol% and 55 mol% of laurate in their seed triacylglycerols, respectively. The diacylglycerols contained about
17 and 33 mol% of laurate in the ML- and HL-lines, respectively, from the mid-stage of seed development up to seed maturity.
The ML-line showed a maximal relative laurate content in phosphatidylcholine (17 mol%) at the mid-stage of seed development
whereafter the content decreased to 2.7 mol% with seed maturity. The laurate content in phosphatidylcholine was observed to
remain high (26 mol%) in the HL-line from the mid-stage to the end of triacylglycerol deposition. Thereafter, the relative
content decreased and reached 6.6 mol% in the mature seeds. There was an enhanced activity of lauroyl-phosphatidylcholine-
metabolizing enzymes in the seed membranes from laurate-producing lines compared with control lines, which might explain the
decrease seen in laurate content in phosphatidylcholine during seed maturation. A comparison of the laurate distribution in
the lipids from developing laurate-producing rape seeds and developing seeds from three species naturally accumulating laurate
at similar levels revealed differences in laurate metabolism compared with these species. The results suggest that phospholipids
and triacylglycerols are synthesized from the same diacylglycerol pool in rape seeds and that rape lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase
and diacylglycerol acyltransferase do not have the same preference for laurate substrates as the corresponding enzymes in
seed tissues naturally accumulating this acyl group. In addition, the mechanisms that specifically remove or exclude laurate
from membrane lipids appear less effective in rape seed than in tissues naturally evolved to synthesize laurate-rich oils.

Importance of lipid metabolism for intracellular and mitochondrial membrane fusion/fission processes
Fabienne Furt Patrick Moreau 《The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology》2009,41(10):1828-1836
Mitochondria move along cytoskeletal tracks, fuse and divide. These dynamic features have been shown to be critical for several mitochondrial functions in cell viability and cell death. After a rapid recall of the proteic machineries that are known to be involved, the review will focus on lipids, other key molecular actors of membrane dynamics. A summary of the current knowledge on lipids and their implication in various cellular membrane fusion/fission processes will be first presented. The review will then report what has been discovered or can be expected on the role of the different families of lipids in mitochondrial membrane fusion and fission processes. 相似文献

Our purpose is to screen out medical history indicators and test indicators linked to lipid metabolism which is closely correlated to leukoaraiosis (LA), and to build assistant diagnosis model based on support vector machine (SVM), which provided theoretical evidence for genesis and development of LA. One thousand LA patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination in Imaging Department was retrospectively analyzed and divided into LA group and non-LA group in accordance with examination results. Detailed clinical statistics of the two groups were collected, including test indicators related to lipid metabolism, such as total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), medical history indicators, age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, history of intracranial infection, history of cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, lacunar infarction and relevant biochemical indexes. The study shows that patients’ incidence of LA was 31.10%; in accordance with Logistic analysis, the incidence of LA is significantly correlated to factors like age, hypertension, history of cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, lacunar infarction and triglyceride elevation; two SVMs, one including all variables and the other containing all screened variables were successfully established, and the former’s accuracy, specificity and sensitivity respectively were 85.0%, 85.0% and 85.0% while the latter’s 90.0%, 100.0% and 80.0%. Test indicators and medical history indicators of lipid metabolism correlated to LA were screened out successfully. Meanwhile, an effective SVM model also was built successfully, which is able to predict LA relatively accurately and can be used as assistant diagnostic tool for clinicians. 相似文献
