Lipid metabolism around the body clocks

Volodymyr Petrenko et al.

Summary: Lipids have important roles in energy metabolism and various biological functions. Disruption of lipid metabolism can lead to metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Circadian rhythms play a key role in regulating lipid metabolism, and recent studies have revealed the mechanistic links between molecular clocks, lipid homeostasis, and metabolic diseases. Manipulating circadian oscillators could be a promising approach for preventing and managing metabolic disorders in humans.

Lipidomic analyses of five Carya illinoinensis cultivars

Zhe Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, the lipid composition of the mature nuts of five C. illinoinensis cultivars was analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The results showed that there were 58 lipid types in the mature kernels of all cultivars, primarily composed of glycerolipids and phospholipids. Triacylglycerol accounted for the largest proportion, exceeding 50%, and other lipids such as diacylglycerol, ceramide, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine were also present in relatively high amounts. Additionally, the nuts contained fatty acids, mainly oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. This research provides valuable insights for the processing and utilization of plant and edible oils, as well as the development of medicine and food science using C. illinoinensis kernels.

Exploring the Potential of Sunflowers: Agronomy, Applications, and Opportunities within Bio-Circular-Green Economy

Ratchanee Puttha et al.

Summary: This review article provides comprehensive insights into sunflower cultivation techniques, processing methods, and opportunities for value addition. Sunflower is an economically valuable crop, appreciated for its vibrant flowers and oil-rich seeds. Sunflower cultivation primarily occurs in warm regions and demonstrates drought resilience. In recent years, the demand for sunflower-derived products has increased significantly. Sunflower seeds and oil play a crucial role in creating various food and non-food products.

Unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in Enterococcus faecalis requires a specific enoyl-ACP reductase

Huijuan Dong et al.

Summary: The Enterococcus faecalis genome contains two genes, fabK and fabI, which encode enoyl-ACP reductases with different structures. Previous research showed that FabK, due to weak expression, is not the major contributor to cellular enoyl ACP reductase activity. However, overproduction of FabK is lethal, whereas overproduction of FabI only slows down growth. This is because enoyl ACP reductase overproduction disrupts unsaturated fatty acid synthesis by competing with FabO, a putative 3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase I, via FabN. This study provides evidence that enoyl-ACP reductase must be matched to the genes involved in unsaturated fatty acid synthesis.

Transcriptome Analysis of Walnut (Juglans regia L.) Embryos Reveals Key Developmental Stages and Genes Involved in Lipid Biosynthesis and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism

Ruimin Huang et al.

Summary: This study focused on the oil biosynthesis in developing walnut embryos, revealing the high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Utilizing RNA sequencing and gene expression analysis, key genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis were identified and shown to be upregulated during 63-119 DAP. Subcellular localization and gene coexpression network analysis provided insights into the mechanisms underlying lipid biosynthesis in walnut embryos.
