Summary: The study revealed that a high-fat diet and permethrin treatment can induce cardiotoxicity, increase cardiovascular disease risk, and promote heart failure and fibrosis in rats. Changes in blood lipid levels, cardiac damage, inflammation, and fibrosis were observed as a result of HFD and PER exposure.

Summary: High-fat diet intake can worsen metabolic adaptation and protection against pathogens in sepsis by causing immunometabolic changes in the liver and white adipose tissue. A study on female mice found that chronic high-fat diet decreased survival rate, increased serum cytokine storm, exacerbated white adipose tissue inflammation, and caused hepatocellular injury in septic mice.

Summary: This study determined the effects of a ketogenic diet on metabolic dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, and testicular function in high-fat and high-cholesterol diet-induced obese mice. The results showed that the ketogenic diet improved semen quality and attenuated apoptosis and inflammation in the testis tissue. The diet also reduced lipid peroxidation and increased antioxidant activity.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of oxidative stress mediated by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation contributing to high fat diet-induced reproductive dysfunction. The results showed that high fat diet led to decreased sperm count, sperm motility, testosterone, luteinizing hormone levels, hyaluronidase, acrosomal enzyme levels, and total antioxidant capacity. Malondialdehyde levels increased while the expression of Nrf2, SOD1, and NQO1 decreased significantly. m6A levels in the testis tissue increased, along with an increase in m6A regulatory proteins. In vitro experiments showed that ROS levels decreased while Nrf2 expression increased in cells treated with S-Adenosylhomocysteine and gene silencing. Additionally, m6A expression decreased. Therefore, oxidative stress mediated by m6A methylation may contribute to high fat diet-induced male reproductive dysfunction.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a high-fat high-fructose diet (HFFD) on the behavior, energy metabolism, and oxidative stress markers in the cerebral cortex of mice. The results showed that HFFD stimulated locomotion and defecation, while an AKG-supplemented diet had a tendency to promote anxiety-like behavior. Additionally, there were significant differences in glutathione-dependent detoxification and processes related to autophagy between the two diets.

Summary: Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) can attenuate high-fat diet-induced intestinal damage and inflammation by modulating Nrf2. It improves the structure of the duodenum, reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, and enhances antioxidant enzyme activity to strengthen the intestinal barrier.

Summary: Imbalance of diet consumption, particularly high-fat diet, can result in memory and cognitive impairment due to increased oxidative stress in the brain. However, using the every other day fasting (EODF) paradigm as a dietary restriction method has been shown to prevent memory impairment induced by high-fat diet, by ameliorating oxidative stress in the hippocampus and restoring antioxidant enzyme activities.

Summary: Mitochondria, as essential cellular organelles associated with energy production and signaling pathways, are targeted by environmental pollutants such as arsenic. Arsenic, a toxic metalloid contaminant of drinking water, is particularly toxic to cellular organs like the liver, primarily affecting mitochondrial function and integrity. Research suggests that arsenic induces oxidative stress and alters signaling pathways within cells, emphasizing the importance of understanding mechanistic aspects of mitochondrial dysfunction in arsenic-induced hepatotoxicity.

Summary: This study utilized a proteomic approach to investigate the impact of high-fructose plus high-fat diet (HFr/HFD) and high-fat diet (HFD) on liver injury in murine models. The results showed that the hepatic mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation pathway was significantly downregulated in the HFr/HFD group compared to the HFD group, with alterations in protein levels of specific complexes within the pathway.

Summary: The effects of maternal leucine supplementation on metabolic dysregulation in adult offspring were investigated. It was found that maternal leucine supplementation in male offspring challenged with postnatal high-fat feeding resulted in an anti-obesity phenotype accompanied by improved glucose homeostasis. These beneficial effects of leucine may be mediated through the activation of FGF21 signaling in adipose tissue.

Summary: The study found that alpha-tocopherol can improve memory deficits and hippocampal oxidative stress caused by proteasome inhibition, through enhancing antioxidant capacity in the hippocampus and protecting mitochondrial sustainability. This indicates a potential approach for prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases associated with mitochondrial impairment.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of intranasal insulin treatment in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, showing significant improvements in motor dysfunction and dopaminergic cell death associated with the disease. The findings suggest that intranasal insulin may be a promising therapeutic approach for Parkinson's disease, potentially targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and modulating inflammation in the brain.

Summary: This study evaluated the protective effects of ellagic acid and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against acrolein-induced mitochondrial toxicity in rat liver. NAC effectively reduced ROS, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial membrane potential while improving GSH content and complex II activity. However, ellagic acid, despite its antioxidant properties, did not prevent mitochondria from being affected by acrolein as observed in this in vitro study.

Summary: The study found that low concentrations of pyruvate have a protective effect on mitochondria, while high concentrations in combination with arsenic trioxide lead to decreased complex II activity, increased mitochondrial ROS production, lipid peroxidation, GSH depletion, mitochondrial membrane damage, and swelling. These results suggest that pre-diabetics exposed to low concentrations of arsenic through food and water may develop mitochondrial dysfunction that accelerates their progression to diabetes.
