Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the associated incidence of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes represents a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by the gut microbiome, has long been known to promote growth in farmed animals and more recently has been reported to improve body weight and composition, lipid profile, insulin sensitivity and glycaemia in animal models of MetS. In vitro studies have examined the influence of butyrate on intestinal cells, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, hepatocytes, pancreatic islets and blood vessels, highlighting genes and pathways that may contribute to its beneficial effects. Butyrate's influences in these cells have been attributed primarily to its epigenetic effects as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, as well as its role as an agonist of free fatty acid receptors, but clear mechanistic evidence is lacking. There is also uncertainty whether results from animal studies can translate to human trials due to butyrate's poor systemic availability and rapid clearance. Hitherto, several small-scale human clinical trials have failed to show significant benefits in MetS patients. Further trials are clearly needed, including with formulations designed to improve butyrate's availability. Regardless, dietary intervention to increase the rate of butyrate production may be a beneficial addition to current treatment. This review outlines the current body of evidence on the suitability of butyrate supplementation for MetS, looking at mechanistic effects on the various components of MetS and highlighting gaps in the knowledge and roadblocks to its use in humans.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to explore the impacts of dietary supplementation of enzyme mixture with sodium butyrate on the growth performance, carcass traits, blood profile and economic benefit in two breeds of weanling rabbits adapted to survive in Egypt (New Zealand White and Rex). One-hundred and twenty weaned male rabbits (New Zealand White and Rex) of 6 weeks of age and 770.5 ± 20 g body weight were allotted randomly into four groups in a factorial arrangement. The obtained results indicated that there were non-significant differences in all growth performance traits, blood profile and economic parameters due to the breed effect. However, there were significant differences in most of carcass traits due to the breed effect except total giblets and New Zealand White breed showed the highest value of these parameters including dressing % (p < .01), forequarter and loin % (p < .001) and hindquarter % (p < .003) compared with Rex breed counterparts. The effect of the treatment and its interaction with the breed significantly (p < .05) improved body weight gain, feed consumption and carcass traits (percentage of dressing, forequarter, hind quarter and lion). However, final body weight and feed conversion ratio were not significantly influenced. Supplementing a diet with treatment significantly decreased blood triglycerides, cholesterol and the ratio between albumin and globulin (A/G ratio), while increased blood total protein and globulin. Although higher feed cost and total costs in treated groups than control ones in each breed, they showed higher total return and net return. Rex non-treated rabbit breed showed the lowest profitability measures compared with other groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of multi-enzyme with sodium butyrate is highly recommended in growing rabbits due to their beneficial effects on the growth performance and profitability.

Abstract
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) promotes reverse cholesterol transport via exchange of cholesteryl ester and triglyceride among lipoproteins. Here, we focused on HDL metabolism during inhibition of CETP expression by using CETP antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) in HepG2 cells. CETP secretion was decreased by 70% in mRNA levels and by 52% in mass 20 h after ODNs against CETP were delivered to HepG2 cells. Furthermore, as a consequence of the downregulation of CETP, the expression of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), an HDL receptor, was also reduced by approximately 50% in mRNA and protein levels, whereas the apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) expression and secretion were increased by 30 and 92%, respectively. In a functional study, the selective uptake of (125)I-[(14)C]cholesteryl oleate-labeled HDL(3) was decreased. Cholesterol efflux to apoA-I and HDL(3) was significantly increased by 88 and 37%, respectively. Moreover, the CE levels in cells after antisense treatment were elevated by 20%, which was related to the about twofold increase of cholesterol esterification and increased acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 mRNA levels. Taken together, these findings suggest that although acute suppression of CETP expression leads to an elevation in cellular cholesterol stores, apoA-I secretion, and cellular cholesterol efflux to apoA-I, the return of HDL-CE to hepatocytes via an SR-BI pathway was inhibited in vitro. Thus antisense inhibition of hepatic CETP expression manifests dual effects: namely, increased formation of HDL and suppression of catabolism of HDL-CE, probably via the SR-BI pathway.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are potent modulators of the growth, function, and differentiation of intestinal epithelia. In addition, high-fiber diets may protect against the development of atherosclerosis because of their cholesterol-lowering effects due, in large part, to SCFA production, liver sterol metabolism, and bile acid excretion. Although the small gut plays a major role in dietary fat transport and contributes substantially to plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein homeostasis, the impact of SCFAs on intestinal lipid handling remains unknown. In the present study, the modulation of lipid synthesis, apolipoprotein biogenesis, and lipoprotein secretion by butyrate was investigated in Caco-2 cells plated on permeable polycarbonate filters, which permit separate access to the upper and lower compartments of the monolayers. Highly differentiated and polarized cells (20 days of culture) were incubated for 20 h with 20 mM butyrate in the apical medium. In the presence of [14C]oleic acid, butyrate led to a significant reduction of secreted, labeled triglycerides (27%; P < 0.01) and phospholipids (25%; P < 0.05). Similarly, butyrate significantly decreased the incorporation of [14C]acetate into exported cholesteryl ester (49%; P < 0.005). As expected from these results, with [14C]oleic acid as a precursor, butyrate significantly (P < 0.05) diminished the delivery of radiolabeled chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins. In parallel, [35S]methionine pulse labeling of Caco-2 cells revealed the concomitant inhibitory effect of butyrate on the synthesis of apolipoproteins B-48 (28%; P < 0.05) and A-I (32%; P < 0.01). Collectively, our data indicate that butyrate may influence lipid metabolism in Caco-2 cells, thus suggesting a potential regulation of intestinal fat absorption and circulating lipoprotein concentrations.

Abstract
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates triglyceride and cholesteryl ester (CE) transfer between lipoproteins, and its activity is strongly modulated by dietary cholesterol. To better understand the regulation of CETP synthesis and the relationship between CETP levels and cellular lipid metabolism, we selected the SW872 adipocytic cell line as a model. These cells secrete CETP in a time-dependent manner at levels exceeding those observed for Caco-2 or HepG2 cells. The addition of LDL, 25OH-cholesterol, oleic acid, or acetylated LDL to SW872 cells increased CETP secretion (activity and mass) up to 6-fold. In contrast, CETP production was decreased by almost 60% after treatment with lipoprotein-deficient serum or beta-cyclodextrin. These effects, which were paralleled by changes in CETP mRNA, show that CETP biosynthesis in SW872 cells directly correlates with cellular lipid status. To investigate a possible, reciprocal relationship between CETP expression and cellular lipid homeostasis, CETP biosynthesis in SW872 cells was suppressed with CETP antisense oligonucleotides. Antisense oligonucleotides reduced CETP secretion (activity and mass) by 60% compared with sense-treated cells. When CETP synthesis was suppressed for 24 h, triglyceride synthesis was unchanged, but cholesterol biosynthesis was reduced by 20%, and acetate incorporation into CE increased 31%. After 3 days of suppressed CETP synthesis, acetate incorporation into the CE pool increased 3-fold over control. This mirrored a similar increase in CE mass. The efflux of free cholesterol to HDL was the same in sense and antisense-treated cells; however, HDL-induced CE hydrolysis in antisense-treated cells was diminished 2-fold even though neutral CE hydrolase activity was unchanged. Thus, CETP-compromised SW872 cells display a phenotype characterized by inefficient mobilization of CE stores leading to CE accumulation. These results strongly suggest that CETP expression levels contribute to normal cholesterol homeostasis in adipocytic cells. Overall, these studies demonstrate that lipid homeostasis and CETP expression are tightly coupled.

Abstract
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is an important determinant of lipoprotein function, especially high density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism, and contributes to the regulation of plasma HDL levels. Since saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (FA) appear to influence the CETP activity differently, we decided to investigate the effects of FA on the expression of CETP mRNA in HepG2 cells using an RNA blot hybridization analysis. Long-chain FA (>18 carbons) at a 0.5 mM concentration were added to the medium and incubated with cells for 48 h at 37 degrees C under 5% CO2. After treatment with 0.5 mM arachidonic (AA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the levels of CETP mRNA were less than 50% of the control levels (AA, P = 0.0005; EPA, P < 0.01; DHA, P < 0.0001), with a corresponding significant decrease in the CETP mass. These results suggest that FA regulate the gene expression of CETP in HepG2 and this effect is dependent upon the degree of unsaturation of the acyl carbon chain in FA.

Abstract
Hep G2 cells were used to study the synthesis and secretion of phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). Upon incubation of the cells at confluence with serum-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), phosphatidylcholine (PC) transfer activity was found to accumulate in the culture media. The PC transfer activity in the media was effectively inhibited by rabbit anti-human PLTP immunoglobulin (Ig)G, thus indicating that the PC transfer activity was due to secreted PLTP. The molecular weight of Hep G2 PLTP was approximately 78 kDa by Western blot analysis, in agreement with the molecular weight obtained for purified human plasma PLTP. The PLTP secreted by Hep G2 also possessed an HDL conversion activity similar to that of human plasma PLTP. The addition of butyrate to the cell culture media resulted in a marked increase in the secretion of PLTP. After 24 h incubation with 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate, a more than twofold increase (P < 0.01) of PC transfer activity in the cell-conditioned media was obtained. The dose-dependent increase in the PC transfer activity in the media upon butyrate treatment was well correlated (r = 0.80, P < 0.01) with that of PLTP mass as determined by immuno-slot blot analysis of cell-conditioned media. The increased secretion of PLTP by Hep G2 treated with sodium butyrate was accompanied by a greater increase in the level of PLTP mRNA in the cells as determined by ribonuclease protection assay. In the presence of 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate, a fourfold increase (P < 0. 01) in mRNA level was obtained at 24 h. No stabilizing effect of butyrate on PLTP mRNA was apparent upon treatment of the cultured cells with the RNA synthesis inhibitor, actinomycin D. Thus, the up-regulatory effect of butyrate on PLTP gene expression seemed to have occurred at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Prebeta HDL are small, protein rich lipoproteins that are predominantly composed of apo A-I, without apo A-II. Prebeta HDL are secreted from the liver as nascent HDL and/or are produced in the incubated plasma by cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). However, the role of CETP in the secretion of HDL from the liver has yet to be determined. In the present study, we examined the effect of the suppression of hepatic CETP by antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) against CETP targeted to the liver on the secretion of apo A-I using a Hep G2 cell culture. The ODNs against CETP were coupled to asialoglycoprotein (ASOR) carrier molecules, which serve as an important method for the regulation of liver gene expression. Hep G2 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10 FBS. After 2 days, the medium was changed to DMEM with EGF and the cells were divided into three groups. The control group received saline, while the sense group was mixed with the sense ODNs complex and the antisense group was mixed with the antisense ODNs complex, respectively, for 2 days. Both the hepatic CETP mRNA and the CETP mass in the medium in the antisense group decreased significantly more than in the sense and the control groups (CETP mass: 1.697 + /- 0.410 ng/mg cell protein vs. 2.367 + /- 0.22 and 2.360 + /- 0.139, n = 3 in each determination). In contrast, both the hepatic apo A-I mRNA and the apo A-I mass in the medium in the antisense group were significantly higher than those in the sense and the control groups (apo A-I mass; 1.877 + /- 0.215 micro/mg cell protein vs. 1.213 + /- 0.282 and 1.097 + /- 0.144, n = 3 in each determination). The increase in apo A-I was mainly due to the increase in prebeta apo A-I. These findings may partly explain why HDL and apo A-I increase in patients with CETP deficiency, while also indicating the possibility that the original level of prebeta HDL is sufficient in such patients.

Abstract
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mRNA is more abundantly expressed in small mature adipocytes as compared to large, lipid-rich adipocytes [Radeau et al., J. Lipid Res. 36 (1995) 2552-2561]. In the present study, the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of human adipose tissue was isolated and the presence of very small fat cells in this fraction confirmed by electron microscopy and by demonstrating the presence of mRNA for adipsin and for CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha), a marker of adipocyte differentiation. sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity was present in the SVF but not in the preadipocyte fraction. Northern blot analysis of human adipose tissue demonstrated that CETP mRNA expression was significantly greater (+96%, P<0.03) in stromal-vascular cells (SVC) as compared to mature fat cells. By comparison, lipoprotein lipase mRNA expression was lower (-75%, P<0.03) in SVC while apolipoprotein E mRNA expression was not significantly different in SVC as compared to isolated adipocytes. By RT-PCR analysis, we demonstrated that CETP mRNA was expressed by human pre-adipocytes at levels less than those of SVC and adipocytes. The absence of monocytes/macrophages in SVC was confirmed by the absence of FcgammaRIII (CD16) mRNA in these fractions. These data demonstrate that CETP mRNA is most highly expressed in the immature fat cells of human adipose tissue, consistent with other experiments from this laboratory demonstrating that CETP plays an important local role in adipocyte cholesterol accumulation.

Abstract
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein involved in the reverse cholesterol transport and expressed in several human tissues and cell lines. We studied CETP expression in Caco-2 cell line, a model of the human enterocyte epithelium. By reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, we could demonstrate that in basal condition Caco-2 cells have a low rate of expression of active CETP mRNA. Furthermore, we found that even in this cell line CETP mRNA alternative splicing occurs with deletion of exon 9 sequence. Densitometric analysis of the in vitro amplified fragments showed that under basal conditions about 60% of reverse transcribed CETP cDNA corresponds to exon 9-deleted transcripts. After challenge with 50 microM sodium oleate, there is a approximately 2 fold increase in the transcription rate of the full-length CETP cDNA, as measured by competitive PCR, which is accompanied to an increased activity measured in the cell-conditioned medium. On the contrary, no significant change is seen in the amount of exon 9-deleted cDNA. Consequently, an inversion in the ratio of full-length and exon 9-deleted CETP cDNA is evident, suggesting that sodium oleate selectively enhances the expression of full-length CETP mRNA.

Abstract
Post-prandial lipaemia represents the state of absorption during which TG metabolic capacity is under challenge. Low TG metabolic capacity imparts the risk of development of atherosclerosis. TG-intolerance has been shown to be an independent risk factor for CAD and impaired TG metabolic capacity could underlie a common high risk lipoprotein constellation of low HDL cholesterol and small sized HDL and LDL. Magnitude and duration of post-prandial lipaemia determine how much cholesterol is diverted from LDL and HDL into TG-rich lipoproteins through which it causes atherosclerosis. Potential means of intervention are improvement of TG metabolic capacity by reducing obesity, prescription of aerobic exercise, reduction of oxidizability of post-prandial lipoproteins by antioxidants and TG-lowering drugs.

Abstract
The relations between the level of plasma nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) and both the mass concentration and activity of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) were studied in fasted normolipidemic subjects. Plasma NEFA correlated positively with both CETP mass concentration (r = .50; P < .01) and the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL toward plasma VLDL+LDL (CETHDL-->VLDL+LDL activity) (r = .46; P < .05) but not with the transfer of cholesteryl ester from LDL toward plasma HDL (CETLDL-->HDL activity) (r = .05; NS). The high binding capacity of albumin for NEFA was used to investigate whether lipoprotein-bound NEFAs were implicated in the modulation of the cholesteryl ester transfer reaction. As compared with nonsupplemented controls, the addition of an excess of fatty acid-free albumin (8 g/L) to total normolipidemic plasmas reduced CETHDL-->VLDL+LDL activity (18.3 +/- 5.5% versus 9.8 +/- 3.1%; P < .0001) but not CETLDL-->HDL activity (22.3 +/- 4.5% versus 23.3 +/- 5.1%; NS). Moreover, CETHDL-->VLD+LDL and CETLDL-->HDL activities correlated negatively when measured in native plasma (r = -.45; P < .05) but positively when measured in albumin-supplemented plasma (r = .40; P < .05). In long-term incubation experiments, lipoprotein-bound NEFA increased the net mass transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL toward VLDL+LDL but reduced the net mass transfer of triglycerides in the opposite direction, from VLDL+LDL toward HDL. Taken together, data of the present study brought strong and concordant arguments in favor of a dual effect of plasma NEFA in modulating both the mass and the activity of CETP in vivo.
