Lipogenesis inhibitors: therapeutic opportunities and challenges

Battsetseg Batchuluun et al.

Summary: Fatty acids play essential roles in cellular survival and function as bioenergetic substrates, structural components, and signaling molecules. Cells have evolved de novo lipogenesis (DNL) to generate fatty acids from alternative carbon sources. However, abnormal upregulation of DNL is associated with various pathologies. Inhibiting core enzymes of DNL represents a potential therapeutic strategy, and several synthetic DNL inhibitors are currently in development. Aberrant upregulation of DNL is implicated in conditions such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and cancers.

Ochratoxin A Induces Oxidative Stress in HepG2 Cells by Impairing the Gene Expression of Antioxidant Enzymes

Enrique Garcia-Perez et al.

Summary: Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin found in foods that can cause oxidative stress, leading to cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells, including an increase in ROS and a depletion of GSH. Additionally, OTA downregulates the mRNA level of catalase (CAT) and decreases CAT enzymatic activity in a dose-dependent manner.

Evaluation and improvement of storage stability of astaxanthin isomers in oils and fats

Masaki Honda et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of different suspension media and additives on the stability of astaxanthin isomers, identifying several vegetable oils and antioxidants that significantly improved stability. It was found that the (9Z)-astaxanthin demonstrated higher stability compared to other Z-isomers. These findings suggest the importance of selecting suitable suspension mediums and antioxidants for maintaining astaxanthin concentration and Z-isomer ratio over time.

Effects of astaxanthin in animal models of obesity-associated diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Rosa Paola Radice et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the effects of astaxanthin (ASX) in animal models of diet-induced obesity-associated diseases. The results showed that ASX can reduce adipose tissue weight, lower blood pressure, decrease serum glucose levels, improve disease biomarkers in the blood, and reduce liver and body weight in animal models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
