Summary: High obesity rates around the world point to an urgent need for effective obesity prevention measures. Animal studies suggest that the effects of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids on adipogenesis may be mediated through various mechanisms. Divergent findings from human clinical trials and observational studies suggest that recommendations for humans regarding PUFA and obesity risk are not yet possible.

Summary: Vegetable oil is being used as a substitute for fish oil in crustacean diets due to a global shortage. However, the effects of different substitution levels on the health and metabolism of crustaceans are not well understood. This study found that replacing 50% of fish oil with linseed oil did not affect the growth performance and feed utilization of juvenile swimming crab. Summary: A substitution ratio of less than 50% is recommended for linseed oil in the diet of Portunus trituberculatus.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance the oxidative stability of njangsa seed oil (NSO) through encapsulation by ionic gelation using sodium alginate (ALG) solely or in combination with Bambara groundnut protein isolate (BPI) as wall materials. The results showed that the encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity were higher for ALG-BPI microcapsules compared to ALG microcapsules. The ALG-BPI microcapsules also exhibited better oxidative stability for NSO.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of annatto seeds, linseed oil, and their combination on dry matter intake, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant capacity, and milk composition in dairy cows. Annatto seeds decreased dry matter intake and milk yield, but increased milk fat, total solids, and short chain fatty acid content. Linseed oil improved the fatty acid profile of milk but reduced milk fat percentage.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of blend oil on liver function markers in healthy subjects. The results showed that blend oil was more effective in reducing liver function markers such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) compared with soybean oil or lard alone. This suggests that blend oil may be beneficial for preventing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the healthy population.

Summary: A sustainable method for handling large quantities of distilled grains in the Chinese baijiu industry is to bioconvert them into value-added products. In this study, the properties of two types of distilled grains, soy sauce-type (DGSB) and nongxiang-type (DGNB), were compared. The results showed that DGSB had higher contents of various beneficial components compared to DGNB. The use of DGSB crude extracts greatly improved the production of biomass, total lipids, and fatty acids in Chlorella sp. 038F, indicating the potential of microalgae for the bioconversion of distilled grains.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of feeding time of a linseed oil diet on duck meat performance and gene expression. The results showed that linseed oil had no negative effect on duck performance or meat quality performance, but affected the composition of muscle fatty acids. Four weeks of feeding time may be a key factor in promoting the deposition of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in duck meat.

Summary: The hull of the sunflower is a protective ligneous tissue rich in wax esters (WEs). However, the extraction of WEs along with oil leads to undesirable turbidity, which is removed through cooling and filtration. The analysis of sunflower WEs is complicated by the presence of sterol esters. Thus, this study established different GC/MS-based methods to analyze the WE content and composition of sunflower hulls, kernels, oil, and industrially crystallized sunflower WEs.

Summary: Abnormalities in membrane phospholipids are considered to be one of the underlying causes of schizophrenia. This study examines the fatty acid composition of erythrocyte membranes in individuals at-risk of mental illness and those with a first-episode of schizophrenia, and links it to clinical characteristics. The results show that certain fatty acids were lower in both groups compared to healthy individuals, while nervonic acid levels were significantly higher. Oleic acid and nervonic acid levels were also associated with specific symptoms in both groups. These findings suggest that abnormal fatty acid compositions may be markers of vulnerability in the early stages of schizophrenia and in individuals at-risk of psychosis.

Summary: The study showed that long-term alternation between fish oil (FO) and terrestrially sourced oil (TSO) based diets could mitigate the adverse effects of TSO on farmed turbot. While short-term differences were observed in growth performance and muscle composition among different diet groups, these differences disappeared over time.

Summary: The addition of fish oil and soybean oil in different proportions affects the basic parts ratio of eggs, with an increase in fish oil content resulting in higher levels of EPA and DHA in eggs, lower n-6 PUFA/n-3 PUFA ratio, and changes in protein content and color intensity with storage time.

Summary: The study found that there was no clear impairment in semen quality in Cordoba, Argentina over the last 20 years. Instead, there was a gradual improvement in some seminal parameters. High BMI and regular exposure to heat/toxics were more frequently associated with semen abnormalities, with their frequency increasing over the study period.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: This study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with type 1 diabetes experienced decreased adherence to diabetes care, leading to an increase in HbA1c levels, BMI, impaired linear growth, and more hospitalizations. The shift to telemedicine as the main healthcare service also had significant effects on diabetes management.

Summary: The study found that the modified Controlling Nutritional Status system, which includes C-reactive protein as an inflammatory parameter, is more accurate than the traditional system in predicting the survival of patients with cancer cachexia. High Controlling Nutritional Status and modified Controlling Nutritional Status are both independent risk factors for survival and have a negative impact on survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as esophagogastric and colorectal cancer.

Summary: This psychometric study proposed a scale for estimating the consumption of ultra processed foods using item response theory. The study used data from a representative sample of 2515 adolescents aged 18 and 19 from Brazilian Birth Cohorts Consortium. The findings demonstrated that the proposed scale can accurately estimate the consumption of ultra processed foods and is correlated with latent traits related to food consumption.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
