SummaryTwo experiments were carried out to test the effects of ryegrass maturity on rumen lipid metabolism. In the first experiment the effect of stage of maturity of perennial ryegrass on lipid metabolism in the rumen was studied with grazing sheep fitted with rumen cannulae. The pasture was either immature (13·8% crude protein), mature (8·1% crude protein) or senescent (5·5% crude protein).The ratesin vitroof triacyl glycerol lipolysis and linoleic acid (18: 2w6) hydrogenation were found to decrease with increasing age of the ryegrass.In the second experiment the sheep were dosed with emulsified linseed oil (30 g) via rumen cannulae while grazing immature or senescent ryegrass and the rumen digesta and blood plasma sampled at 0, 4 and 8 h after dosing.The proportions of linseed oil retained in the rumen were greater and blood plasma linoleic (18:2w6) and linolenic (18:3w3) acid concentrations higher when senescent ryegrass was fed.It was concluded that the rates of rumen lipolysis and hydrogenation decreased with the age of pasture and that after dosing with linseed oil the polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations in blood plasma increased.

Regulated Necrosis

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulated necrosis mediated by lipid peroxidation. Cancer cells survive under metabolic stress conditions by altering lipid metabolism, which may alter their sensitivity to ferroptosis. However, the association between lipid metabolism and ferroptosis is not completely understood. In this study, we found that the expression of elongation of very long-chain fatty acid protein 5 (ELOVL5) and fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) is up-regulated in mesenchymal-type gastric cancer cells (GCs), leading to ferroptosis sensitization. In contrast, these enzymes are silenced by DNA methylation in intestinal-type GCs, rendering cells resistant to ferroptosis. Lipid profiling and isotope tracing analyses revealed that intestinal-type GCs are unable to generate arachidonic acid (AA) and adrenic acid (AdA) from linoleic acid. AA supplementation of intestinal-type GCs restores their sensitivity to ferroptosis. Based on these data, the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis pathway plays an essential role in ferroptosis; thus, this pathway potentially represents a marker for predicting the efficacy of ferroptosis-mediated cancer therapy.

Background: Smoking-derived nicotine (N) and oral contraceptives (OC) synergistically exacerbate both global and focal ischemic brain damage in females. While the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, our published study showed that OC exacerbate N toxicity via altered mitochondrial electron transport chain function. Because mitochondria play a central role in cellular metabolism, we examined the metabolic fingerprint of adolescent and adult female rat brains exposed to N +/- OC. Methods: Adolescent (6 weeks old) and adult (12 weeks old) Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly (n = 8/group) exposed to either saline, N (4.5 mg/kg) +/- OC for 16-21 days. Following treatment, brain tissue was harvested for unbias metabolomic analysis (performed by Metabolon Inc.). The metabolomic profile was complemented with western blot analysis and enzyme activity measurements. Results: Pathway enrichment analysis showed significant alterations in lipid metabolism. Adolescent but not adult females treated with N, OC and N+OC compared to saline showed significant increases in carnitine conjugated fatty acid metabolites such as arachidonoylcarnitine (C20:4), docosahexaenoylcarnitine (C22:6) and stearoylcarnitine (C18). These changes in fatty acyl carnitines were accompanied by an increase in a subset of free fatty acids, suggesting elevated fatty acid β-oxidation in the mitochondria to meet energy demand. In support, 3-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) was significantly lower in OC and N+OC treatment group in adolescent animals, implying a complete shunting of acetyl CoA for energy production via TCA cycle. BHBA is a ketone body that increases in concentration as lipid oxidation rates increase with acetyl CoA accumulation. Reduced BHBA levels may also suggest mitochondrial dysfunction in response to OC and N+OC treatment. Conclusion: The observed changes in the metabolic fingerprint and fatty acid metabolism reflect a general alteration in energy metabolism with nicotine treatment exclusively in young animals and these changes are enhanced by N+OC treatment. Discerning the exact effects of N +/- OC on overall brain metabolism and the molecular mechanisms affecting mitochondrial function at different ages will open a new window for future therapeutic intervention.

The aim of this study was to investigate the alteration in growth performance and lipid metabolism during the development of yellow fat in pigs. A total of 30 pigs (9.23 ± 0.21 kg) were assigned to three treatments: (1) low fish oil (LFO), basal diet + 2% fresh fish oil; (2) high fish oil (HFO), basal diet + 8% fresh fish oil; and (3) oxidized fish oil (OFO), basal diet + 8% OFO (peroxide value = 250 meqO2 kg−1). Pigs fed HFO and OFO diets showed yellow staining of fat and decreased growth performance, including average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and final body weight (P < 0.01). The oxidized lipid markers malondialdehyde, yellowness b* of backfat, perirenal fat, and abdominal fat were markedly increased in the pigs fed with HFO and OFO (P < 0.05). Furthermore, following HFO feeding, pigs showed significant decreases in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio and mRNA expression levels of CCAAT-/enhancer-binding protein alpha, fatty acid synthase, lipoprotein lipase, and hormone-sensitive lipase in backfat (P < 0.01). Overall, pigs with yellow-fat trait showed decreased growth performance and altered lipid metabolism by the high fish oil feeding.
