Abstract
With the widespread use of high-fat diets (HFDs) in aquaculture, fatty livers are frequently observed in many fish species. The aim of this study was to investigate if docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) could be used to reduce the fatty liver in zebrafish generated by a 16% soybean oil-HFD over 2 weeks of feeding. The DHA was added to iso-lipidic HFD at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0% of diet. Supplementation of DHA reduced growth and feed efficiency in a dose dependent manner being lowest in the HFDHA2.0 group. Hepatic triglyceride (TG) in zebrafish fed 0.5% DHA-supplemented HFD (HFDHA0.5) was significantly lower than in the HFD control. Transcriptional analyses of hepatic genes showed that lipid synthesis was reduced, while fatty acid β-oxidation was increased in the HFDHA0.5 group. Furthermore, the expression of Cyclin D1 in liver of zebrafish fed HFDHA0.5 was significantly reduced compared to that in fish fed HFD. In zebrafish liver cells, Cyclin D1 knockdown and blocking of Cyclin D1-CDK4 signal led to inhibited lipid biosynthesis and elevated lipid β-oxidation. Besides, DHA-supplemented diet resulted in a rich of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota in gut microbiota, which promoted lipid β-oxidation but did not alter the expression of Cyclin D1 in germ-free zebrafish model. In conclusion, DHA not only inhibits hepatic lipid synthesis and promotes lipid β-oxidation via Cyclin D1 inhibition, but also facilitates lipid β-oxidation via gut microbiota. This study reveals the lipid-lowering effects of DHA and highlights the importance of fatty acid composition when formulating fish HFD.

Abstract
We hypothesised that the incorporation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) across adipose tissues will be higher when it is ingested as triacylglycerols (TAG) structured at the sn-2 position. Ten-week old male hamsters were allocated to 4 dietary treatments (n = 10): linseed oil (LSO-control group), fish oil (FO), fish oil ethyl esters (FO-EE) and structured DHA at the sn-2 position of TAG (DHA-SL) during 12 weeks. In opposition to the large variations found for fatty acid composition in retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT) was less responsive to diets. DHA was not found in subcutaneous and retroperitoneal WAT depots but it was successfully incorporated in BAT reaching the highest percentage in DHA-SL. The PCA on plasma hormones (insulin, leptin, adiponectin) and fatty acids discriminated BAT from WATs pointing towards an individual signature on fatty acid deposition, but did not allow for full discrimination of dietary treatments within each adipose tissue.

Abstract
A dramatic rise in the incidence of obesity in the U.S. has accelerated the search for interventions that may impact this epidemic. One recently recognized target for such intervention is adipose tissue, which secretes a variety of bioactive substances including prostaglandins. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been shown to decrease lipolysis in adipocytes, but limited studies have explored alternative mechanisms by which PGE2 might impact obesity, such as adipogenesis or lipogenesis. Studies conducted on ApcMin/+ mice indicated that selective inhibition of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme led to significant reductions in fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity in adipose tissue suggesting lipogenic effects of PGE2. To further investigate whether these lipid mediators directly regulate lipogenesis, we used 3T3-L1 adipocytes to determine the impact of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and celecoxib on PGE2 formation and FAS used as a lipogenic marker. Both arachidonic acid (AA) and EPA dose-dependently increased PGE secretion from adipocytes. AA was expectedly more potent and exhibiting at 150 uM dose a 5-fold increase in PGE2 secretion over EPA. Despite higher secretion of PGE by EPA and AA compared to control, neither PUFA significantly altered FAS activity. By contrast both AA and EPA significantly decreased FAS mRNA levels. Addition of celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, significantly decreased PGE2 secretion (p < 0.05) versus control, and also significantly decreased FAS activity (p < 0.05). Unexpectedly, the combination of exogenous PGE2 and celecoxib further decreased the FAS activity compared to PGE2 alone or untreated controls. In conclusion, EPA-mediated inhibition of AA metabolism did not significantly alter FAS activity while both AA and EPA significantly decreased FAS mRNA expression. COX-2 inhibition significantly decreased PGE2 production resulting in a decrease in FAS activity and expression that was not reversed with the addition of exogenous PGE2, suggesting an additional mechanism that is independent of COX-2.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to identify the major factors controlling the distribution of beta-blockers (acebutolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, metoprolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, propranolol and timolol) in rats, across tissues, compounds and enantiomers. Tissue distribution was assessed at steady state by infusing cassette doses of beta-blockers into the jugular vein via an indwelling catheter at a constant rate. Blood was sampled via an indwelling catheter in the carotid artery, and 12 tissues excised at the end of dose infusion (4 or 8 h). Drug concentrations were quantified using a novel chiral LC-MS method and the tissue-to-plasma (Kp) and tissue-to-plasma water (Kpu) values were calculated for each tissue. Differences between Kp were observed between many enantiomeric pairs, and largely explained by enantiomeric differences in plasma protein binding. Across compounds, Kpu values were generally highest in lung and lowest in adipose, and were higher for the more lipophilic drugs betaxolol and propranolol. For any tissue, Kpu differences between the individual beta-blockers correlated well with the corresponding affinity for blood cells. For all compounds, regional tissue distribution correlated well with tissue acidic phospholipid concentrations, with phosphatidylserine appearing to have the strongest influence. This information may be used as the basis for predicting the tissue distribution of basic drugs.

Abstract
The changes induced by dietary n-3 fatty acids (FA) in the lipids and FA of plasma, liver and blood cells, and their reversibility, was studied in mice given a diet containing 9% fish oil (FO) for 2 weeks and then returned to, and kept for another 2 weeks on, the usual standard lab chow diet. In plasma, the concentrations of phospholipids (PL), mostly phosphatidylcholine (PC), triacylglycerols (TG), cholesterol and cholesterol esters (CE) decreased rapidly after starting the FO diet, and remained low from day 3 onwards. This decrease was concomitant with a remarkable reduction in the n-6 FA, especially 18:2n-6, not compensated for by the relative enrichment in n-3 FA induced by FO. In liver, TG and CE decreased and PL slightly increased, all of them showing reduced n-6/n-3 ratios. Sphingomyelin, which lacks polyunsaturated FA other than small amounts of 18:2 and 24:2n-6, showed altered ratios between its very long chain monoenes and saturates. In the washout phase, the most rapid event was an immediate increase in 18:2n-6 and after a few days in 20:4n-6 in plasma and liver, where most of the lipid and FA changes were reversed completely in about 10 days. In the case of blood cells even 2 weeks were insufficient for a reversal to the initial n-6/n-3 ratios. The lipid class responsible for this lack of reversibility was phosphatidylethanolamine, PC having returned to the initial fatty acid composition during the stated period.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Mexico. We investigated the effects of omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids on the metabolic syndrome associated with cardiovascular disease in a high-sucrose-fed rat model. The metabolic syndrome-induced rats showed a significant increase in systolic blood pressure, serum insulin, nonfasting serum triglyceride and serum cholesterol levels. Experimental high-sucrose-fed animals received either a n-3 or n-6 enriched diet or a control diet during 6 weeks. Animals fed the n-3 enriched diet had a significant reduction in blood pressure and serum insulin and triglyceride levels. Serum triglyceride levels were also significantly reduced in the n-6-rich diet animals.

Abstract
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a major organ of nonshivering thermogenesis during cold acclimation, overfeeding, and nonthermal restraint stress. An increased unsaturation of fatty acids of membrane phospholipid in BAT has been shown to be closely associated with an enhanced function of this tissue as reported in other tissues. In the previous study, we found that among fatty acids detected, the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in BAT phospholipid is the only fatty acid that altered concomitantly with a change in the in vitro thermogenic capacity for nonshivering thermogenesis of BAT from cold acclimated and restrained rats. To examine the effect of dietary DHA on fatty acid composition of phospholipid and in vitro BAT thermogenic activity, rats were fed a standard diet supplemented with purified DHA for 4 or 16 weeks. Dietary DHA for 4 or 16 weeks increased DHA level in BAT phospholipid, and it also decreased arachidonic acid. The unsaturation index increased and remained unchanged under DHA feeding for 4 and 16 weeks, respectively. In vitro thermogenic activity of BAT remained unchanged and decreased under dietary DHA for 4 and 16 weeks, respectively. These findings indicate that dietary DHA could increase DHA level in phospholipid of BAT, but it could not improve in vitro BAT thermogenic response.

Abstract
The influence of dietary (n-3) compared with (n-6) polyunsatured fatty acids (PUFA) on the lipid composition and metabolism of adipocytes was evaluated in rats over a period of 1 week. Isocaloric diets comprised 16.3 g/100 g protein, 53.8 g/100 g carbohydrate and 21.4 g/100 g lipids, the latter containing either (n-3) PUFA (32.4 mol/100 mol) or (n-6) PUFA (37.8 mol/100 mol) but having identical contents of saturated, monounsaturated and total unsaturated fatty acids and identical polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratios and double bond indexes. Despite comparable food intake, significantly smaller body weight increments and adipocyte size were observed in rats of the (n-3) diet group after feeding for 1 wk. Rats fed the (n-3) diet also had significantly lower concentrations of serum triglycerides, cholesterol and insulin compared with those fed the (n-6) diet, although levels of serum glucose and free fatty acids did not differ in the two dietary groups. In the (n-6) diet group, the (n-6) and (n-3) PUFA contents of plasma triglycerides, free fatty acids and phospholipids were 30-60% higher and 60-80% lower, respectively, than in the (n-3) diet group, whereas adipocyte plasma membrane phospholipids showed a significantly higher unsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio and greater fluidity. Glycerol release in response to noradrenaline was significantly higher in the adipocytes of rats fed the (n-3) diet, whereas the antilipolytic effect of insulin generally did not differ in the two groups. Finally, insulin stimulated the transport of glucose and its incorporation into fatty acids to a lesser extent in adipocytes of (n-3) diet fed rats compared with (n-6) diet fed rats. This reduction in the metabolic effects of insulin in rats fed a (n-3) diet for 1 wk could be related to smaller numbers and a lower binding capacity of the insulin receptors on adipocytes and/or to a lesser degree of phosphorylation of the 95 kDa beta subunit of the receptor. In conclusion, dietary intake for 1 wk of (n-3) rather than (n-6) PUFA is sufficient to induce significant differences in the lipid composition and metabolic responses to insulin of rat adipocytes.
