Summary: A deficit of estrogen is associated with energy substrate imbalance, raising the risk of metabolic diseases. This study found that physical training has positive effects on GLUT4 and FAT CD36 expression in the skeletal muscle of animals with estrogen deficit, as well as metabolic variables.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of daily ingestion of 2 grams of MCTs for 2 weeks on fat burning during physical activities in sedentary individuals. The results showed that MCT ingestion significantly increased fat oxidation and decreased respiratory exchange ratio during exercise.

Summary: The present study investigated the effects of different dietary carbohydrate levels on the growth performance, body composition, glucose/lipid metabolism and insulin signaling pathway in abalone. The results showed that a diet containing 38.01% carbohydrate significantly improved the growth performance of abalone. The study also found that dietary carbohydrate levels influenced the metabolism of glucose and lipid, as well as the insulin signaling pathway in abalone.

Summary: Energy metabolism is crucial in insect metamorphosis, particularly in the larval-pupal stage of holometabolous insects. In this study, metabolome and transcriptome analyses were conducted to elucidate the metabolic changes and regulatory mechanisms during larval-pupal metamorphosis of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera. The findings revealed that aerobic glycolysis supported cell proliferation and lipid synthesis during the feeding stage, while triglyceride degradation and acylcarnitine accumulation were activated during non-feeding stages. This study provides valuable insights into the metabolic regulation mechanism of lepidopteran larvae during their final stage of development.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of theaflavins (TFs) on blood glucose, blood lipid, and the gut microbiome in diabetic mice, as well as explores the underlying mechanism of TFs improvement in diabetes from the perspective of the gut microbiome. The results show that TFs intervention significantly improves hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in diabetic mice and affects the structure of the gut microbiome. Short-chain fatty acid changes and functional prediction analysis suggest that TFs may regulate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism through the gut microbiome.

Summary: L-arginine is a safe endogenous amino acid involved in various regulatory functions in the body. It may be helpful in managing disturbed metabolism, regulating blood pressure, and alleviating type 2 diabetes symptoms, but the mechanisms underlying these effects are not fully understood.

Summary: Higher BMI before pregnancy is associated with increased risk of maternal and perinatal complications. This study found that pregestational obesity does not significantly affect carbohydrate metabolism in pregnant women, but it does disturb lipid profile, resulting in increased triglycerides and decreased HDL cholesterol levels. Obesity also increases leptin and resistin concentrations in pregnant women's serum, which may be caused by increased adipose tissue volume. The concentration of leptin in umbilical cord blood is positively correlated with birth weight, suggesting its contribution to the pathomechanism of macrosomia.

Summary: This study found that Tralopyril has adverse effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in zebrafish larvae, leading to significant changes in the expression of related genes, which may be caused by mitochondrial dysfunction.

Summary: Plant distant grafting is a new method for germplasm innovation that can produce stable genetic variation. Two chimeras, peach/apricot (PA) and apricot/peach (AP), were created through two-way grafting between peach and apricot. Transcriptome and proteome integrative analyses were conducted on apricots from these two chimeras to investigate the causes of phenotypic changes. The top significant enrichment pathways of differentially expressed genes and proteins (DEGs/DEPs) included lipid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism, indicating their crucial role in the development of grafted apricot hybrids.

Summary: The study suggests that consuming a slow digesting carbohydrate (SDC) in pre-pubescent children may promote greater endogenous substrate utilization, which could have beneficial impacts on energy intake and carbohydrate regulation during growth and development.

Summary: The study showed that moderate consumption of beverages sweetened with fructose and sucrose increases hepatic fatty acid synthesis, while beverages sweetened with an equivalent amount of glucose do not produce the same effect. This may have unfavorable effects on metabolic health.
