Trace element and lipidomic analysis of bottlenose dolphin blubber from the Yucatan coast: Lipid composition relationships

Ixchel M. Ruiz-Hernandez et al.

Summary: Bottlenose dolphins in coastal and estuarine ecosystems are exposed to multiple stressors and can bioaccumulate contaminants. This study used a lipidomics approach and trace element analysis to characterize the lipid composition and correlations with trace elements in bottlenose dolphin blubber. The results provide insights into the physiological functions and risks that anthropogenic activities pose to coastal organisms.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and hypertension: a review of vasodilatory mechanisms of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid

Cristiana-Ioana Bercea et al.

Summary: Hypertension is characterised by impaired vasodilation, which can be improved by omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as DHA and EPA. These fatty acids also have vasodilatory effects on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by opening potassium channels and possibly voltage-activated potassium channels, leading to hyperpolarisation and relaxation. Structural manipulation of omega-3 PUFAs may lead to novel therapeutic strategies.

Comparative genomics of cetartiodactyla: energy metabolism underpins the transition to an aquatic lifestyle

Summary: The study on cetacean genomes reveals significant positive selection in genes associated with nutrient sensing pathways, suggesting adaptation in cetaceans to a glucose-poor diet and overcoming deleterious effects during diving. Furthermore, the role of fat stores in regulating metabolism, foraging behavior, and diving physiology in cetaceans may differ from terrestrial mammals.

Metabolic response of dolphins to short-term fasting reveals physiological changes that differ from the traditional fasting model

Dorian S. Houser et al.

Summary: The study compared the plasma metabolomes of bottlenose dolphins in post-absorptive and 24-hour-fasted states, revealing changes in lipid metabolism, protein catabolism, and synthesis consistent with a diabetic-like fasting state. Pathway analysis predicted increased cytokines and apoptosis in response to fasting. Furthermore, a dynamic network marker indicative of a physiological shift toward a negative energy state was identified, with potential applications for assessing energy balance in wild dolphins at risk.

Characterization of the cardiac phospholipidome of small cetaceans provides adaptational insight and a foundation for indirect population health screening

Joao P. Monteiro et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive characterization of the lipid content of small cetacean hearts, revealing similarities in lipid composition with terrestrial mammals but also quantitative differences, especially in Stenella coeruleoalba. These differences contribute to a better understanding of small cetacean cardiac physiology and may lead to the development of lipidomic-based tools for assessing cetacean health population status remotely.

A deep dive into fat: Investigating blubber lipidomic fingerprint of killer whales and humpback whales in northern Norway

Pierre Bories et al.

Summary: This study identified an extended lipidomic fingerprint in killer whales and humpback whales in northern Norway during wintertime, detecting 817 molecular lipid species in their blubber. The composition of lipid profiles varied between the two species, with humpback whales having higher triradylglycerol content to prepare for their upcoming migration. The presence of different lipid-enriched and lipid-depleted individuals within the killer whale population suggests dietary specialization, with implications for their feeding habits.

Effect of harvesting month and proximity to fish farm sea cages on the lipid profile of cultivated Saccharina latissima

Joao P. Monteiro et al.

Summary: Macroalgae aquaculture, especially kelp farming, is flourishing across different production sites in Europe. The elemental and biochemical composition of Saccharina latissima is influenced significantly by the time of harvesting, with less impact from the proximity to nutrient sources like fish farm sea cages. Harvested kelp biomass in April showed differences in composition compared to those in May and June, mainly in terms of lower C, H, carbohydrates, and higher ash contents. The lipid profile analysis also revealed changes in fatty acids and lipid signatures based on the harvesting periods.

Summary: The study found that EPA and DHA have different effects on reducing metabolic syndrome risk factors. EPA is effective in lowering total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, while DHA can increase total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, as well as insulin levels in certain subgroups.

Total energy expenditure of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) of different ages

Rebecca Rimbach et al.

Summary: Marine mammals are believed to have a high energy expenditure due to their endothermy in marine environments. In this study, total energy expenditure was measured in 10 adult bottlenose dolphins, showing a decline in adjusted energy expenditure and an increase in fat mass with age. Results suggest that marine mammals have higher energy expenditure compared to terrestrial mammals, but bottlenose dolphins expend less energy than other marine mammals of similar body mass.

Summary: This study provides comprehensive clinical pathology data on hematological, serum, and plasma biochemistry reference intervals for various marine mammals in zoos and aquariums, including common bottlenose dolphins, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, beluga whales, and Pacific white-sided dolphins. The research revealed statistically significant differences in several variables based on age, gender, and month, and generated reference intervals and values for a wide range of hematologic, serum, and plasma biochemical variables. Additionally, a mobile software application called ZooPhysioTrak was developed to provide species-specific reference intervals and values for cetacean management.
