Summary: The study showed that high-fat diets negatively impacted the growth performance of Japanese seabass, leading to lipid accumulation, inflammation, and apoptosis. The suitable dietary lipid level for Japanese seabass should not exceed 129.1 g kg(-1).

Summary: As we deal with climate change and scarcity of natural resources, the challenge is to provide sufficient, nutritious, safe, and affordable food for a growing global population without harming the environment. The water footprint (WF) is an important indicator of the environmental impact of diets, and this study evaluates the WF of the food patterns suggested by the Italian Food Based Dietary Guidelines for the first time. The results show that the suggested Italian dietary patterns have a low WF, but consumer choices and providing information to farmers and producers can further reduce water usage.

Summary: By comparing the carbon and water footprints of Italian-Mediterranean dietary patterns, it was found that the EAT-IT pattern had lower carbon emissions but similar water footprint compared to the IDG pattern. Protein-rich foods were identified as the main contributors to environmental impact in both patterns. Additionally, individual food choices were shown to significantly influence environmental outcomes.

Summary: The study found that adherence to the Mediterranean diet was generally low among secondary school students, especially in terms of consumption of meat and meat products, vegetables, legumes, dairy products, and fish. There were significant differences between girls and boys in the consumption of fruits, grains, meat, and dairy products.

Summary: The study compared two dietary plans based on Italian food habits and the Italian Dietary Guidelines, revealing differences in fruit and vegetable consumption, as well as protein sources. Despite similarities, the EAT-IT plan showed some nutritional issues, such as higher energy from lipids and vegetal protein, and lower levels of calcium compared to the IDG-based plan. Further studies are needed to determine the potential impact on health and feasibility of sustainable dietary patterns.

Summary: The study found that different diets induced more severe NAFLD in male mice, characterized by lipid accumulation and inflammation/fibrosis. Sex-biased hepatic gene signatures showed different responses to various dietary challenges, with Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) playing a key role in gender-specific and NAFLD pathophysiology.

Summary: The study demonstrates that BG from highland barley can significantly alleviate liver steatosis induced by NAFLD, by altering lipid metabolic patterns and regulating lipid metabolism-related genes. Additionally, the research also identified 13 differentially regulated lipid species that may serve as lipid biomarkers.

Summary: Oral spermidine supplementation can regulate lipid metabolism and have therapeutic effects on obesity and related diseases. Spermidine reduces body fat and weight, improves weight and blood glucose under high sucrose intake, but has no impact on dietary fat-related parameters.

Summary: The study investigated the influence of season on the lipid profile of the ovarian follicle in the Italian Mediterranean buffalo. Seasonal differences in triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and non-esterified fatty acids were observed in the follicular fluid, follicular cells, cumulus cells, and oocytes. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the physiology of the ovarian follicle in buffalo and provide insights into the causes of reduced oocyte competence during the non-breeding season.

Summary: Obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases are closely related to dysregulation of metabolism, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, abnormal gut microbiome, and chronic low-grade inflammation. Probiotics are considered as a novel strategy for preventing and ameliorating obesity and related diseases, with mechanisms including effects on lipid, glucose, cholesterol metabolism, as well as antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities.

Summary: This study investigated the therapeutic effect of mitoxantrone (MTX) on hepatic steatosis in broilers and demonstrated its lipid-lowering effect and improvement in fatty liver through in vitro and in vivo experiments. This provides a promising therapeutic strategy for treating fatty liver and excessive fat accumulation in broiler chickens.

Summary: Ketogenic diet combined with moderate aerobic exercise effectively reduces body weight and fat mass, with no significant adverse effects except for an increase in circulating triglyceride level. Aerobic exercise further improves blood parameters and hepatic condition in mice fed with ketogenic diet.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of orally administered policosanol from insect wax (PIW) on lipid metabolism, and found that PIW could reduce serum lipid levels, improve weight gain, and alleviate liver fat accumulation in rats fed a high-fat diet. These effects may be attributed to gene regulation and antioxidant activity. The findings suggest the potential use of PIW for developing functional foods with lipid-lowering properties.

Summary: In this study, the effects of different levels of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on growth performance, fatty acid profile, and lipid metabolism in abalone were compared. The optimal dietary DHA content for large and small abalone was estimated to be 1.32% and 0.88%, respectively, based on weight gain rate (WGR). DHA supplementation increased digestive enzymes' activity, polyunsaturated fatty acids content, and n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio in abalone.

Summary: Recent studies have shown an association between the gut microbiome and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Higher total SVD scores were associated with cognitive decline and behavioral and psychological symptoms. Specific enterotypes and faecal metabolites were also found to be related to cognitive decline and brain SVD.
