Summary: The mechanisms connecting acidic tumor microenvironments to disease progression are not yet fully understood. This study reveals that cancer cells adapted to an acidic pH environment exhibit increased capacity for acid extrusion and higher intracellular pH at physiological pH levels. This adaptation is associated with metabolic changes favoring oxidative metabolism, increased lipid content, peroxisome proliferation, and mitochondrial fusion. The upregulation of PPAR alpha, stimulated by increased fatty acid uptake, drives the metabolic changes by promoting mitochondrial and peroxisomal energy metabolism while limiting glycolysis. Inhibition of PPAR alpha results in increased sensitivity of acid-adapted cancer cells.

Summary: Placentas of obese women show impaired fatty acid metabolism and lipid accumulation from early pregnancy. The expression of genes associated with fatty acid oxidation, uptake, synthesis, and storage is reduced in these placentas, particularly in placentas of male fetuses. The PPAR alpha pathway is impacted by obesity and PPAR alpha antagonism reduces fatty acid oxidation in 1st trimester placental explants.

Summary: Obesity causes inflammation in adipose tissue, leading to changes in secretion of adipocyte-derived factors and contributing to various pathologies, including cancer. In this study, the synthetic adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon was found to affect pancreatic cancer cell metabolism, leading to mitochondrial uncoupling and decreased ATP production, increased glucose uptake and utilization, and inhibition of a factor involved in fatty acid catabolism. Additionally, inhibition of glycolysis impaired the growth and survival of pancreatic cancer cells. These findings suggest that pancreatic cancer cells adapt to suppression of oxidative phosphorylation by upregulating glycolysis.

Summary: As individuals age, dysfunctional microglia may contribute to the onset of neurodegenerative diseases through impaired phagocytosis, cholesterol efflux, and enhanced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Specifically, microglia lacking lipoprotein lipase exhibit a pro-inflammatory lipid profile, increased cholesterol ester content, and reduced cholesterol efflux, leading to excessive accumulation of lipid droplets. Activation of PPAR pathways by agonists can rescue this phenotype, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of a diet restricted in long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) and supplemented with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in reducing triglyceride levels and symptoms in children with lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency. Results showed that the diet led to a significant drop in triglyceride levels in LPL patients and no disease-specific manifestations or complications. The study suggests that the LCT-restricted and MCT-supplemented diet is a feasible, well-tolerated, and clinically effective long-term management option for pediatric patients with LPL deficiency.

Summary: This study investigated the tumorigenic mechanism of N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA) exposure using both cell and rat models. It was found that NMBA exposure induced malignant transformation of esophageal cells and promoted the development of esophageal carcinoma through the activation of the fatty acid-associated PPAR alpha signaling pathway. Animal studies also confirmed the association between accelerated fatty acid decomposition and the progression of NMBA-induced esophageal carcinoma. These findings provide valuable insights into the carcinogenic risk assessment of N-nitrosamines.

Summary: Obesity and metabolic disorders are significant global health problems, and the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating systemic homeostasis. Recent evidence suggests that the microbiota and its signaling pathways can influence overall metabolism and the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS), which, in turn, may impact the microbiota. This review aims to explore the nutritional implications in the mechanistic link between the intestinal microbiome, renin-angiotensin system, and the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome. It discusses the metabolic changes associated with obesity, diabetes, and hepatic steatosis based on relevant scientific literature, as well as the molecular and physiological mechanisms that affect the human microbiome. The review also analyzes the interaction and modulation of the RAS. Strategies such as the use of prebiotics, symbiotics, probiotics, and biotechnology may have an impact on gut microbiota and human health.

Summary: Alamandine is a newly described component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and its effects are mediated by the receptor Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor D (MrgD). This study aimed to assess the metabolic consequences of MrgD genetic ablation in mice by evaluating brown adipose tissue RNA sequencing. The results showed that MrgD-KO mice have diminished brown adipose tissue and a high-glucose diet decreased both circulating alamandine levels and MrgD expression in BAT from wild-type mice.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of 8 weeks of time-restricted eating (TRE) with a caloric restriction on metabolic profile, metabolic rate, symptoms of mood and eating disorders, and weight loss in women with overweight or obesity. The results showed that subjects in the TRE group experienced more pronounced weight loss, body fat mass loss, and fat-free mass loss compared to those in the non-TRE group. However, these losses were not associated with changes in resting metabolic rate, metabolic profile, or symptoms of eating or mood disorders. In conclusion, 8 weeks of TRE does not influence behavioral parameters in individuals with overweight or obesity, but may lead to weight loss.
