Abstract
The efforts to reveal, in detail, the molecular and intramolecular structures of one of the main lipid classes, namely, triacyl-sn-glycerols, which are now known to affect their specific and important role in all living organisms, are briefly overviewed. Some milestones of significance in the gradual but continuous development and improvement of the analytical methodology to identify the triacylglycerol regio- and stereoisomers in complex lipid samples are traced throughout the years: the use of chromatography based on different separation principles; the improvements in the chromatographic technique; the development and use of different detection techniques; the attempts to simplify and automatize the analysis without losing the accuracy of identification. The spectacular recent achievements of two- and multidimensional methods used as tools in lipidomics are presented.

Abstract
Recent studies have predominantly focused on the role of B cells in metabolic diseases, yet the function of B cells in adipose homeostasis remains unclear. Pax transactivation domain-interacting protein (PTIP), a licensing factor for humoral immunity, is necessary for B cell development and activation. Here, using mice that lack PTIP in B cells (PTIP-/- mice), we explored the role of B cells in adipose homeostasis under physiological conditions. Fat deposition in 8-week-old mice was measured by micro-CT, and PTIP-/- mice presented a marked decrease in the deposition of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Untargeted lipidomics revealed that the triglyceride composition in SAT was altered in PTIP-/- mice. In addition, there was no difference in the number of adipocyte progenitor cells in the SAT of wild-type (WT) and PTIP-/- mice as measured by flow cytometry. To study the effects of steady-state IgM and IgG antibody levels on fat deposition, PTIP-/- mice were injected intraperitoneally with serum from WT mice once every 3-4 days for 4 weeks. The iSAT mass of the recipient mice showed no significant increase in comparison to the controls after 4 weeks of injections. Our findings reveal that PTIP plays an essential role in regulating subcutaneous adipocyte size, triglyceride composition, and fat deposition under physiological conditions by controlling B cells. The decreased subcutaneous fat deposition in PTIP-/- mice does not appear to be related to the number of adipocyte progenitor cells. The steady-state levels of IgM and IgG antibodies in vivo are not associated with the subcutaneous fat deposition.

Abstract
Background Lipid intermediates produced during triacylglycerols (TAGs) synthesis and lipolysis in adipocytes interfere with the intracellular insulin signaling pathway and development of insulin resistance. This study aims to compare TAG species and their fatty acid composition in adipose tissues from insulin sensitive (IS), insulin resistant (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) obese individuals. Methods Human subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue biopsies were obtained from 64 clinically characterized obese individuals during weight reduction surgery. TAGs were extracted from the adipose tissues using the Bligh and Dyer method, then were subjected to non-aqueous reverse phase ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and full scan mass spectrometry acquisition and data dependent MS/MS on LTQ dual cell linear ion trap. TAGs and their fatty acid contents were identified and compared between IS, IR and T2DM individuals and their levels were correlated with metabolic traits of participants and the adipogenic potential of preadipocyte cultures established from their adipose tissues. Results Data revealed 76 unique TAG species in adipose tissues identified based on their exact mass. Analysis of TAG levels revealed a number of TAGs that were significantly altered with disease progression including C46:4, C48:5, C48:4, C38:1, C50:3, C40:2, C56:3, C56:4, C56:7 and C58:7. Enrichment analysis revealed C12:0 fatty acid to be associated with TAGs least abundant in T2DM whereas C18:3 was found in both depleted and enriched TAGs in T2DM. Significant correlations of various adipose tissue-derived TAG species and metabolic traits were observed, including age and body mass index, systemic total cholesterol, TAGs, and interleukin-6 in addition to adipogenic potential of preadipocytes derived from the same adipose tissues. Conclusion Pilot data suggest that adipose tissues from obese IR and T2DM individuals exhibit TAG-specific signatures that may contribute to their increased risk compared to their IS counterparts. Future experiments are warranted to investigate the functional relevance of these specific lipidomic profiles.

Abstract
Endocannabinoid-like compounds are structurally related to the true endocannabinoids but do not contain highly unsaturated fatty acids, and they do not bind the cannabinoid receptors. The classical endocannabinoid-like compounds include N-acylethanolamines and 2-monoacylglycerols, and their structural resemblance to the endocannabinoids makes them players in the endocannabinoid system, where they can interfere with the actions of the true endocannabinoids, because they in several cases engage the same synthesizing and degrading enzymes. In addition they have pharmacological actions of their own, which are particularly interesting in a nutritional and metabolic context. Exogenously supplied oleoylethanolamide, palmitoylethanolamide, and linoleoylethanolamide have anorexic effects, and the endogenous formation of these N-acylethanolamines in the small intestine may serve an important role in regulating food intake, through signaling via PPARα and the vagus nerve to the brain appetite center. A chronic high-fat diet will decrease intestinal levels of these anorectic N-acylethanolamines and this may contribute to the hyperphagic effect of high-fat diet; 2-monoacylglycerols mediate endocrine responses in the small intestine; probably trough activation of GPR119 on enteroendocrine cells, and diet-derived 2-monoacylglycerols, for example, 2-oleoylglycerol and 2-palmitoylglycerol might be important for intestinal fat sensing. Whether these 2-monoacylglycerols have signaling functions in other tissues is unclear at present.

Long-chain SFA at thesn-1, 3 positions of TAG reduce body fat deposition in C57BL/6 mice. Br J Nutr 2013; 110:1987-95.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the effect of positional distribution of long-chain SFA in TAG, especially at thesn-1, 3 positions, on fat deposition using the C57BL/6 mouse model. Throughout the 15 weeks of the study, mice were fed with diets fortified with palm olein (POo), chemically interesterified POo (IPOo) and soyabean oil (SOY). Mice receiving the SOY-enriched diet gained significantly higher amounts of subcutaneous fat (P= 0·011) and total fat (P= 0·013) compared with the POo group, despite similar body mass gain being recorded. During normalisation with food consumption to obtain the fat:feed ratio, mice fed with the POo-enriched diet exhibited significantly lower visceral (P= 0·044), subcutaneous (P= 0·006) and total (P= 0·003) fat:feed than those fed with the SOY-enriched diet. It is noteworthy that mice fed with the IPOo-enriched diet gained 14·3 % more fat per food consumed when compared with the POo group (P= 0·013), despite their identical total fatty acid compositions. This was mainly attributed to the higher content of long-chain SFA at thesn-1, 3 positions of TAG in POo, which results in delayed absorption after deacylation as evidenced by the higher amounts of long-chain SFA excreted in the faeces of mice fed with the POo-enriched diet. Negative correlations were found between the subcutaneous, visceral as well as total fat accretion per food consumption and the total SFA content at thesn-1, 3 positions, while no relationships were found for MUFA and PUFA. The present results show that the positional distribution of long-chain SFA exerts a more profound effect on body fat accretion than the total SFA content.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipid metabolism plays important roles in the whole process of pregnancy. Previous studies have demonstrated abnormalities of lipid metabolism in the placentas of pregnancies obtained by assisted reproductive technology (ART). Therefore, we hypothesized that ART micromanipulation may affect lipid metabolism in offspring, and focused on the fatty acid metabolism in ART male offspring in this study. METHODS The fatty acid metabolism in the liver, adipose tissue and testis was detected. The comparison between naturally conceived (NC), controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) mice was made to analyze the effect of ART on offspring. The mice models in this study included two age groups: adult group and old group. The fatty acid composition and the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes were analyzed by GC-MS and qRT-PCR. RESULTS The fatty acid composition in the liver and adipose tissue were significantly altered in ART mice, but no significant difference was found in the testis. In adipose tissue, ART mice showed decreased monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and increased polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in both adult and old mice, while the alteration of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) in the adult disappeared in the old. In liver, the changes were much complex in adult mice, while increased MUFAs and decreased PUFAs were found in ART old mice. The activities of fatty acid metabolism-related enzymes and the expression of lipogenic and lipolytic proteins changed in ART groups, with the adult mice and old mice showing inconsistent alterations. Further analysis indicated that SFAs was closely associated with the alterations of fatty acid metabolism-related enzyme activities and the expression of lipogenic and lipolytic proteins. Furthermore, we also found that the effect of separated ART treatments on fatty acid metabolism varied with different ages and tissues. CONCLUSIONS ART treatments had effect on the fatty acid composition in adipose tissue and liver of male mice. The alteration of SFAs content was crucial for the regulation of fatty acid composition. These changes might have potential effects on the health of ART male offspring which need further investigation.

Abstract
OBJETIVO:Determinar se fontes lipídicas com diferentes razões de ácidos graxos insaturados e saturados (PUFA+MUFA)/SFA na dieta altera o perfil lipídico tecidual, a concentração de lipídios (mg/g) dos tecidos hepáticos e mesentérico e a digestibilidade lipídica. MÉTODOS: Foi realizada cromatografia gasosa para determinar o perfil de ácidos graxos nos tecidos hepático e adiposo de ratos alimentados com diferentes fontes lipídicas. O coeficiente de digestibilidade foi determinado a partir da relação entre a quantidade de lipídios consumidos e a quantidade fecal excretada. RESULTADOS:Diferentes fontes lipídicas (óleo de soja, manteiga, margarina e gorduras de porco e de peixe) não alteraram o coeficiente de digestibilidade e o peso hepático, mas alteraram a deposição de lipídios em todos os tecidos adiposos estudados. Não foi possível fazer a correlação direta entre o perfil dietário dos ácidos graxos não essenciais e sua deposição nos tecidos estudados, visto que a lipogênese de novo impede a identificação dos ácidos graxos dietários. CONCLUSÃO:Não foi constatada uma relação direta entre o perfil dietário dos ácidos graxos e sua deposição nos tecidos estudados, exceto para os ácidos graxos trans e linoléico (C18:2) que não são sintetizados no rato. Esses ácidos graxos apresentaram uma concentração tecidual diretamente proporcional àquela das fontes dietárias. Quanto à razão (PUFA+MUFA)/SFA, encontrada no tecido hepático dos diferentes grupos, observa-se que esta foi diretamente proporcional aos valores apresentados pelas fontes lipídicas dietárias. Entretanto, essa associação não foi observada nos tecidos adiposos analisados.

Abstract
Energy intake and expenditure tend on average to remain adjusted to each other in order to maintain a stable body weight, which is only likely to be sustained if the fuel mix oxidised is equivalent to the nutrient content of the diet. Whereas protein and carbohydrate degradation and oxidation are closely adjusted to their intakes, fat balance regulation is less precise and that fat is more likely to be stored than oxidised. It has been demonstrated that dietary fatty acids have an influence not only on the fatty acid composition of membrane phospholipids, thus modulating several metabolic processes that take place in the adipocyte, but also on the composition and the quantity of different fatty acids in adipose tissue. Moreover, dietary fatty acids also modulate eicosanoid presence, which have hormone-like activities in lipid metabolism regulation in adipose tissue. Until recently, the adipocyte has been considered to be no more than a passive tissue for storage of excess energy. However, there is now compelling evidence that adipocytes have a role as endocrine secretory cells. Some of the adipokines produced by adipose tissue, such as leptin and adiponectin, act on adipose tissue in an autocrine/paracrine manner to regulate adipocyte metabolism. Furthermore, dietary fatty acids may influence the expression of adipokines. The nutrients are among the most influential of the environmental factors that determine the way adipose tissue genes are expressed by functioning as regulators of gene transcription. Therefore, not only dietary fat amount but also dietary fat composition influence adipose tissue metabolism.

Abstract
This work was designed to investigate the effect of different lipid sources onobgene expression and serum leptin levels in rats with two different feeding protocols: (1) free access to food; or (2) energy-controlled feeding. Male Wistar rats were fed diets containing 40 % energy as fat (olive oil, sunflower oil or beef tallow), for 4 weeks. In Expt 1 rats had free access to food, and in Expt 2 rats were fed a controlled amount of food (16 g/d, equivalent to 300 kJ/d). Insulin and leptin were determined by ELISA andobmRNA by Northern blot. When rats had free access to food,obmRNA levels were higher in animals fed either olive oil or sunflower oil than in those fed beef tallow. In marked contrast with feedingad libitum, no differences were found among dietary fat groups in rats fed energy-controlled diets. When both feeding protocols were compared, free access to food induced an increased expression ofobmRNA in perirenal and/or epididymal adipose tissues from rats fed either olive oil or sunflower oil, but not from rats fed beef tallow. Dietary lipid type did not induce modifications in serum leptin concentrations. A tendency to higher serum leptin levels was observed more in rats with free access to food than in rats fed energy-controlled feeding. No differences were found in insulin levels. Dietary fat type importantly affectsobmRNA expression in rat white adipose tissue under hyperphagic conditions. Further study is needed in order to elucidate the mechanism underlying this effect.

Abstract
The present study was conducted in order to evaluate the influence of hypertension on the triacylglycerol (TG) molecular species composition and other lipid classes of rat adipose tissue. In addition, the effect of two dietary oils, with a similar content in oleic acid but different TG moieties, was studied. Virgin olive oil (VOO) or high-oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) was added to a baseline diet (BD) and administrated to Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) for 12 weeks. Both VOO and HOSO normalized the altered composition of TG molecular species and phospholipid (PL) fatty acids in SHR compared to animals fed BD, although the effect exhibited by VOO was greater. Rats fed HOSO showed a greater palmitic (p < 0.05) and lower linoleic acid (p < 0.05) incorporation into PL but a greater accumulation of linoleic acid-containing TG species, particularly dioleoyl-linoleoyl-glycerol, with a concomitant displacement of trilinolein. Both oils were capable of increasing the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in normotensive rats, but only VOO did so in the SHR. Therefore, it was concluded that although oleic acid-rich diets improve some of the altered parameters of SHR adipose tissue, VOO is more effective than HOSO in this regard.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of virgin olive oil (VOO) triacylglycerols (TGs) on the lipid composition of human very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). METHODS Twenty-one normocholesterolemic, normotensive, non-diabetic elderly subjects were recruited for the study. Two VOOs (VOO1 and VOO2) of the same variety, with an equivalent composition in minor components and differing only in the oleic and linoleic acid concentrations, were administered for 4 wk each to assess the effect of their TG molecular species compositions. Blood was collected after an overnight fast, VLDLs were isolated by ultracentrifugation, and lipid classes, TG molecular species, and TG fatty acid composition were determined. RESULTS Dietary VOOs significantly differed in TG molecular species composition. VOO1 represented larger amounts of triolein (P < 0.01), whereas VOO2 was significantly enriched with dilinoleoyl-oleoyl-glycerol, linoleoyl-dioleoyl-glycerol, and linoleoyl-oleoyl-palmitoyl-glycerol (P < 0.01). For VLDL, intake of VOO1 caused an increase of total TG (P < 0.01) due mainly to increases in triolein and linoleoyl-dioleoyl-glycerol. Conversely, VOO2 increased VLDL cholesteryl esters (P < 0.01) and TG rich in arachidonic acid (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The different TG molecular species compositions of dietary oils may be an independent determinant of the lipid composition of VLDL in elderly people and therefore may play a role in regulating lipoprotein metabolism in these subjects.

We report the stereospecific (sn-1, sn-2, sn-3) distribution of fatty acids in subcutaneous adipose tissue triacylglycerols of male weaned Wistar rats fed either a standard diet or diets containing, in addition to 20 g corn oil/kg feed, 120 g/kg feed, each, of canola-type rapeseed oil, olive oil, conventional or high oleic sunflower oil or high petroselinic coriander oil for 10 wk. The regiospecific distribution of the major acyl moieties in the sn-1 (3) vs. sn-2 positions of the adipose tissue triacylglycerols broadly reflected that of the dietary oils. The saturated palmitoyl and stearoyl moieties were more abundant in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions compared with the sn-2 position of the adipose tissue triacylglycerols, and both occurred at a higher proportion in the sn-1 than in the sn-3 position. Oleoyl moieties were abundant in all the three positions of the adipose tissue triacylglycerols, whereas petroselinoyl moieties were more abundant in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions compared with the sn-2 position. Linoleoyl moieties occurred predominantly in the sn-2 position compared with the sn-1 and sn-3 positions of the adipose tissue triacylglycerols; however, they were more abundant in the sn-3 than in the sn-1 position. Despite widely varying proportions of the palmitoyl, oleoyl and linoleoyl moieties at the three positions of the dietary triacylglycerols, the ratios of each of these acyl moieties at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions in adipose tissue triacylglycerols were essentially constant for all groups, with the exception of the group fed coriander oil, indicating a rigid stereospecific incorporation.

Abstract
We report the composition of constituent fatty acids and molecular species of adipose tissue triacylglycerols of male weaned Wistar rats fed diets containing, in addition to 20 g corn oil/kg feed, 120 g per kg feed canola-type rapeseed oil, olive oil or conventional sunflower oil for 10 wk. The composition of fatty acids and molecular species of the triacylglycerols of subcutaneous, epididymal and perirenal adipose tissues did not differ among groups (P > 0.01), broadly reflecting the corresponding compositions of the dietary oils. The major molecular species of dietary triacylglycerols, especially trioleoylglycerol (OOO) and linoleoyl-dioleoylglycerols (LOO) in the rapeseed oil and olive oil diets, dioleoyl-palmitoylglycerols (OOP) in the olive oil diet, dilinoleoyl-oleoylglycerols (LLO) in the rapeseed oil and sunflower oil diets, and dilinoleoyl-palmitoylglycerols (LLP), linoleoyl-oleoyl-palmitoylglycerols (LOP) as well as trilinoleoylglycerol (LLL) in the sunflower oil diet were also prominent constituents of the corresponding adipose tissue triacylglycerols. On the other hand, predominant molecular species containing alpha-linolenoyl (Ln) moieties, e.g., alpha-linolenoyl-linoleoyl-oleoylglycerols (LnLO) and alpha -linolenoyl-dioleoylglycerols (LnOO) from the rapeseed oil diet were not prominent constituents of rat adipose tissue triacylglycerols, whereas LOP from rapeseed oil and olive oil diets and OOP from rapeseed oil and sunflower oil diets were distinctly enriched in the corresponding adipose tissues. Most of the minor molecular species of the dietary triacylglycerols from all the three diets were distinctly present in the corresponding adipose tissues. Thus, despite numerous biochemical processes involved in the metabolism of dietary triacylglycerols, a substantial proportion of the molecular species of adipose tissue triacylglycerols containing linoleoyl (L), oleoyl (O) and palmitoyl (P) moieties resemble those of dietary triacylglycerols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some nutrients, such as carotenoids, retinoic acid, and certain types of fatty acids, increase thermogenic capacity. OBJECTIVE The influence of 4 dietary lipid sources (olive oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, and beef tallow) on the content of uncoupling proteins 1, 2, and 3 (UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3) and their messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in several tissues of rats was compared. DESIGN Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups and fed ad libitum diets containing 40% of energy as fat. UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 mRNA and protein were assessed by Northern blot and Western blot, respectively. Oxygen consumption in tissues was measured by polarography. Total-body oxygen consumption was assessed in an open-circuit chamber system. Circulating fuels (fatty acids and glucose) and hormones (triiodothyronine, thyroxine, corticosterone, and insulin) were measured. RESULTS Olive oil feeding induced the highest UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 mRNA expression in interscapular brown adipose tissue. An analogous effect was observed in gastrocnemius muscle UCP3 mRNA. No significant differences were observed in perirenal white adipose tissue UCP2 mRNA. Changes in mRNAs were not accompanied by close changes in the protein content of UCPs and were not associated with changes in adipose tissue oxygen consumption. Nevertheless, total-body oxygen consumption was higher in rats fed olive oil than in those fed the other 3 diets. No significant differences were found in body and tissue weights or in serum indexes. CONCLUSION Olive oil induced an up-regulating effect on UCP mRNA that was probably not mediated by systemic metabolic changes, but rather related to a local effect on interscapular brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.
