Abstract
Enigmatic sarcopenic obesity is still a challenge for science and adds to the global public health burden. The progressive accumulation of body fat combined with a dysfunctional skeletal muscle structure and composition, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and anabolic resistance, among other aggravating factors, together represent the seriousness and complexity of treating the metabolic disorder of sarcobesity in aging. For this reason, further studies are needed that encourage the support of therapeutic management. It is along these lines that we direct the reader to therapeutic approaches that demonstrate important, but still obscure, outcomes in the physiological conditions of sarcobesity, such as the role of taurine in modulating inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms in muscle and adipose tissue, as well as the management of gut microbiota, able to systemically re-establish the structure and function of the gut-muscle axis, in addition to the merits of physical exercise as an instrument to improve muscular health and lifestyle quality.

Abstract
Despite the early recognition of obesity as an epidemic with global implications, research on its pathogenesis and therapeutic approach is still on the rise. The literature of the 21st century records an excess weight found in up to 1/3 of children. Both the determining factors and its systemic effects are multiple and variable. Regarding its involvement in the potentiation of cardio-vascular, pulmonary, digestive, metabolic, neuro-psychic or even dermatological diseases, the information is already broadly outlined. The connection between the underlying disease and the associated comorbidities seems to be partially attributable to oxidative stress. In addition to these, and in the light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the role played by oxidative stress in the induction, maintenance and potentiation of chronic inflammation among overweight children and adolescents becomes a topic of interest again. Thus, this review's purpose is to update general data on obesity, with an emphasis on the physiopathological mechanisms that underlie it and involve oxidative stress. At the same time, we briefly present the latest principles of pathology diagnosis and management. Among these, we will mainly emphasize the impact played by endogenous and exogenous antioxidants in the evolutionary course of pediatric obesity. In order to achieve our objectives, we will refer to the most recent studies published in the specialized literature.

Adipose tissue cysteine dioxygenase type 1 is associated with an anti-inflammatory profile, impacting on systemic metabolic traits. EBioMedicine 2022; 85:104302. [PMID: 36206624 PMCID: PMC9535416 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2022.104302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue is a source of multiple factors that modulate systemic insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular risk. Taurine is obtained from the diet but it is less known that it is endogenously synthesized by cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1). CDO1 exerts a role in adipose tissue from rodent models, but the potential translational value in humans is not available in the literature. METHODS CDO1 gene expression was analysed in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples in association with metabolic traits in participants with different degrees of obesity in four independent cohorts. CDO1 was also evaluated in isolated human adipocytes in vitro. Mechanistically, CDO1gene knockdown (KD) of human preadipocytes and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC52telo) (using lentiviral particles) was also evaluated. Mitochondrial respiratory function of adipocytes was evaluated using Seahorse. FINDINGS Both visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) CDO1 mRNA was associated with gene expression markers of adipose tissue function in the four cohorts. Higher CDO1 expression was linked to decreased fasting triglycerides and blood HbA1c even after adjusting by age, BMI and sex. In addition, CDO1 mRNA positively correlated with the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis and negatively with different inflammatory markers. Both VAT and SAT CDO1 mRNA was mainly expressed in adipocytes and significantly increased during adipocyte differentiation, but attenuated under inflammatory conditions. Mechanistically, CDO1 gene KD reduced taurine biosynthesis, evidencing lower CDO1 activity. In both human preadipocytes and ASC52telo cells, CDO1 gene KD resulted in decreased gene expression markers of adipogenesis (ADIPOQ, FABP4, FASN, SLC2A4, CEBPA) and increased inflammatory genes (TNF and IL6) during adipocyte differentiation. Of note, CDO1 gene KD led to decreased mitochondrial respiratory function in parallel to decreased expression of mitochondrial function-, but not biogenesis-related genes. INTERPRETATION Current findings show the relevance of CDO1 in adipose tissue physiology, suggesting its contribution to an improved systemic metabolic profile.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of taurine on muscle damage markers and inflammatory markers in the running. For that, ten healthy volunteers participated in this study (mean ± SEM; age 24 ± 1 year, body mass 72.2 ± 4.89 kg, height 174.03 ± 2.85 cm, and BMI 23.83 ± 1.27). The running exercise was performed for 5 km, and blood was taken pre-exercise and pre-exercise + tau and post-exercise and post-exercise + tau for biochemical assessment. We assessed serum creatine kinase (CK), CK isoenzyme, Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). CK level was not significantly different in the control and taurine (tau) administrated groups. However, creatine kinase isoenzyme was decreased in the pre-exercise + tau group when compared to the post-exercise + tau group. AST level was increased significantly in the post-exercise compared to the post-exercise + tau group. There was no significant difference observed in the LDH level in both post-exercise and post-exercise + tau. TNF-alpha level was not also significantly different in both post-exercise and post-exercise + tau. However, IL-6 was decreased in the post-exercise + tau when compared to the post-exercise group. In conclusion, we observed that taurine decreases the inflammatory response by decreasing IL-6 and AST, suggesting the role of taurine in regulating inflammatory response could help to increase running performance.

Abstract
Background: In recent years, a new type of adipose tissue (beige adipose tissue) has been mentioned, unlike white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). Beige cells are capable of thermogenesis like BAT. In response to various agents, beige cells can develop within WAT through a process called "browning." Therefore, the prevention of obesity and related diseases by providing WAT browning with new potential agents has been extensively studied in recent years. Taurine has many physiological functions in the body and has beneficial effects on obesity and related metabolic disorders. For this reason, we aimed to investigate whether taurine supplementation has effects on browning of WAT and attenuating obesity. Methods: Thirty-two male C57BL/6 mice were used for the study. Mice were divided into 4 groups as control, control + taurine, high fat diet (HFD) and HFD + taurine, and fed for 20 weeks. Taurine was given in drinking water (5%). Epididymal WAT samples were obtained from mice and RNA was extracted from these tissues. Expression levels of FLCN, mTOR, TFE3, PGC-1α, PGC1-1β, AMPK, S6K and UCP1 genes were measured by real-time PCR. Results: Taurine supplementation reduced HFD-induced obesity. No UCP1 expression was detected in any of the groups studied. Any of the gene expressions were not significantly different between HFD and HFD + taurine groups. Reduced PGC-1α and PGC-1β expressions were observed in both HFD and HFD + taurine groups. Conclusions: Taurine reduced the obesity in HFD fed mice, but had no effect on browning of epididymal WAT in this study.

Abstract
Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and their associated comorbidities impact brain metabolism and function and constitute risk factors for cognitive impairment. Alterations to taurine homeostasis can impact a number of biological processes, such as osmolarity control, calcium homeostasis, and inhibitory neurotransmission, and have been reported in both metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. Models of neurodegenerative disorders show reduced brain taurine concentrations. On the other hand, models of insulin-dependent diabetes, insulin resistance, and diet-induced obesity display taurine accumulation in the hippocampus. Given the possible cytoprotective actions of taurine, such cerebral accumulation of taurine might constitute a compensatory mechanism that attempts to prevent neurodegeneration. The present article provides an overview of brain taurine homeostasis and reviews the mechanisms by which taurine can afford neuroprotection in individuals with obesity and diabetes. We conclude that further research is needed for understanding taurine homeostasis in metabolic disorders with an impact on brain function.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism disorders such as hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis that are grave public health issues. Taurine, a sulfur-containing non-essential amino acid exerts a wide range of physiological effects that regulate lipid metabolic disorders. Although the effects of taurine on lipid-lowering have been reported in animals and humans, mechanisms elucidating the lipid-lowering action of taurine remain unclear. A series of molecular regulators associated with lipid metabolism have been identified in the past few decades. These include nuclear receptors, transcription factors, and enzymes that undergo important changes during taurine treatment. In this review, we focus on the role of taurine in lipid metabolism and discuss taurine-related interventions in combating lipid disorders.
