Summary: Many breast cancer survivors experience changes in energy balance during and after treatment, potentially influenced by factors such as dietary intake and estrogen suppression. Future research may focus on developing targeted and personalized behavioral interventions to address these specific changes in energy balance.

Summary: Different methods of measuring cavitation resistance in fern petioles can lead to variable results, depending on the species being tested. The anatomy of fern dictyostele structure affects air entry into the xylem, impacting the shape of the vulnerability curve. Validation of the curves with in situ measures of water potential and hydraulic data is important for generating realistic results.

Summary: The increased intake of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) in the pediatric age is associated with the risen prevalence of childhood obesity. The Ultraprocessed Foods in Obesity (UFO) Project aimed to investigate the role of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in facilitating pediatric obesity. The study found that obese children had higher intake of UPFs and AGEs, as well as alterations in mitochondrial function.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of diet on the rhythmic transcriptome and metabolism of meibomian glands. The results show that a high-fat diet significantly alters the circadian transcriptome profile and lipid component oscillations in meibomian glands, revealing the high sensitivity of meibomian gland clocks to lipid composition in food.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the potential effects of FTO gene variants and dietary fiber intake on obesity-related parameters and lipid profile in a Polish population. The results suggest that different FTO genotypes respond differently to fiber intake, with high-fiber diets positively affecting anthropometric parameters but potentially worsening lipid profiles in certain genotype carriers.

Summary: Different dietary protein levels had minimal impact on the development and severity of IMQ-induced psoriasis, but aggravated the systemic pro-inflammatory phenotype. High protein diet slightly aggravated skin inflammation, while both high and low protein diets increased circulating neutrophils and reactive oxygen species after IMQ-treatment.

Summary: The study demonstrated that a high-fibre diet could reduce immune cell infiltration and improve histopathological parameters in the intestine, decrease intestinal permeability, modulate intestinal microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis during mucositis in a murine model. On the other hand, a low/zero fibre diet exacerbated gut permeability and increased levels of Enterobacteriaceae associated with gut inflammation.

Summary: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have different dietary intake and nutritional status compared to typically developing children. They consume more vegetable drinks and gluten-free cereals, but less fish. Their sensory profile score is lower, and children with sensory differences consume less dairy but more cereals and protein foods.

Summary: This study compared dietary intake and physical activity between youth with T1D and healthy controls. The results showed that participants with T1D had a higher carbohydrate intake and lower fat and protein intake compared to controls. Many participants consumed saturated fat in excess of recommendations. Both groups consumed insufficient fiber and excessive sodium. In addition, participants with T1D had less physical activity compared to controls.

Summary: This study investigated and compared the morphological and biochemical characteristics of the hippocampus, as well as the spatial memory, in young adult mice under different dietary conditions. The results suggested that a low-fat diet and a high-fat diet might have negative effects on the hippocampal structure, while the supplementation of lingonberries showed a neuroprotective effect on synaptic plasticity. The observed morphological changes in the hippocampus did not result in significant decline in spatial memory.

Summary: This study analyzed the lipid composition of xylem sap from different plant species and found that phospholipids, galactolipids, and sulfolipids were present in the sap, originating mainly from living vessel cells. Seasonal changes in lipid composition were observed in one species and lipids were found to coat vessel surfaces of certain plant species. The findings suggest that apoplastic xylem lipids are a common feature in angiosperms and may affect water transport dynamics in xylem.

Summary: Head group-acylated chloroplast lipids were discovered in the 1960s, but the interest in this field was renewed about 15 years ago with the discovery of Arabidopsides E and G, leading to the application of mass spectrometry to identify additional oxidized and non-oxidized chloroplast lipids. Despite many advances, there are still critical questions remaining about the biological functions of AGAP1 and its head group-acylated products.

Summary: Understanding the pathways of chlorophyll breakdown and the fate of phytol in plants reveals insights into the color changes observed in global plant life during the fall season. Recent research has identified phytenal as an intermediate in plant phytol catabolism, opening up opportunities for further investigation into this complex metabolic system with implications for plant health and agriculture.

Summary: A mass spectrometry-based screening identified a mutant Salk_109175C with altered leaf chloroplast glycerolipid composition. Further analysis revealed that the altered lipid composition phenotype was caused by a splice-site mutation in the At4g30950 locus, which resulted in the functional loss of the plastidial omega-6 desaturase FAD6.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and its antibody (aPLA2) on phospholipid hydrolysis, lipid oxidation, and antioxidant capacity in beef. The results showed that PLA2 decreased key phospholipid classes and increased the release of polyunsaturated fatty acids (FFAs). Despite exhibiting strong antioxidant capacity, PLA2 treatment led to increased lipid oxidation. On the other hand, aPLA2 treatment showed potential in reducing lipid oxidation.
