Abstract
Flaxseed-derived diglyceride (DAG)-based Pickering emulsions were fabricated using soy protein isolate (SPI) nanoparticles as stabilizer. The SPI nanoparticles were prepared under the combined action of heating and ultrasound treatment. The SPI nanoparticles exposed to 600 W power exhibited the smallest particle size (133.36 nm) and zeta potential (-34.77 mV). Ultrasonic treatment did not significantly impact the polypeptide chain's primary structure but induced changes in the secondary structure. The Pickering emulsions stabilized with ultrasound-treated SPI nanoparticles showed smaller particle size, lower zeta potential, and improved emulsifying properties. Notably, at 450 W power, these emulsions showed a higher solid-liquid balance, reduced mean square displacement, backscattering fluctuations, and turbiscan stability index. Besides, they displayed a more compact microstructure with smaller droplets. In conclusion, SPI subjected to heating and 450 W ultrasound power resulted in the fabrication of DAG-based Pickering emulsions with enhanced microstructure and stability.

Abstract
The study aimed to fabricate healthier beef burgers using high internal phase Pickering emulsion (HIPPE) as animal fat substitute. In this context, HIPPE stabilized by modified soy protein isolates was produced with flaxseed-derived diglycerides (DAGs). Beef burgers were prepared by substituting beef backfat with HIPPE at varying levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). Reformulated burgers showed a significant decrease in WHC (from 89.75 to 77.38%), pH (from 5.73 to 5.58), L* values (from 53.5 to 44.5), and b* values (22.9 to 21.8), while a significant increase in a* values (from 24.4 to 6.7), cooking loss (from 20.25 to 30.62), and cooking shrinkage (from 11.27 to 13.05). Texture attributes, including hardness, chewiness, and gumminess, decreased up to 50% fat substitution and increased with increasing levels of fat substitution. Moreover, the rheological properties (G' and G'') and T2 relaxation time were increased with increasing fat replacement. The reformulation with HIPPE resulted in a decrease in SFA (from 3896 to 1712 mg/100 g), ω-6/ω-3 ratio (from 5.29 to 0.47), atherogenic index (from 0.57 to 0.13), and thrombogenic index (from 1.46 to 0.15) and increase in PUFA/SFA ratio (from 0.20 to 2.79). Notably, burgers with 50% fat substitution were more preferred regarding tenderness, while those with 100% fat substitution obtained higher scores for color and flavor than all other treatments. In conclusion, 50% fat replacement using flaxseed-derived diglyceride-based HIPPE improved beef burgers' textural profile and fatty acid composition without compromising the sensory characteristics.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different ionic strengths on the emulsifying and oxidation stabilities of myofibrillar protein-diacylglycerol emulsions containing catechin (MP-DAG-C), in which lard, unpurified glycerolytic lard (UGL), and purified glycerolytic lard (PGL) were used as oil phases in this study, respectively. Results revealed that emulsifying ability was significantly improved by UGL and PGL (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the emulsifying activity and stability, absolute ξ-potential value, shear viscosity, and dynamic rheological characteristic of emulsions increased with the increase of ionic strength (P < 0.05) remarkablely, which reached the maximum value at 0.6-M sodium chloride (NaCl). The droplets of emulsions at 0.6-M ionic strength were smallest and distributed most uniformly compared to other NaCl conditions. The formation of thiobarbituric acid substances and carbonyls increased, and the total sulfydryl contents decreased as the extension of storage days (P < 0.05). However, the oxidation stability of MP-DAG-C emulsions was insignificantly decreased by ionic strengths (P > 0.05). The above results showed that MP-DAG-C emulsions could keep excellent emulsifying effects and oxidation stability under high ionic strengths. This study provides data support for the application of MP-DAG-C emulsions in emulsified meat products, which is benefit for promoting the development of high-quality emulsified meat products.

Abstract
Distearin (DS) can be used as an emulsifier, due to its surface activity derived from the amphiphilic nature of the molecule, moreover, it can also crystallize and form a 3D crystal network that can induce oil gelation. The current research aimed to examine the ability to combine both emulsifying and oil gelation properties to structure and stabilize water-in-oil emulsion gel system. Different water contents and DS concentrations produce emulsion gels with different textural attributes while incorporating up to 30% of water in a 15% wt. DS-based oleogel resulted in stable white gels. Microscopy imaging confirmed the formation of a water-in-oleogel type emulsion gel characterized by DS crystallization in the continuous phase and at the interface through Pickering mechanism. A positive relation was observed between the G' and hardness values and water content, suggesting gel strengthening resulted from interactions between the DS crystals at the interface and the continuous phase, as suggested by the active filler theory. Thermal analysis revealed two broad melting events at the temperature range of 42.2-44.9 °C and 55.9-58.6 °C for emulsion gels with 10-30% water content, suggesting initial melting of β' polymorph and transition to β during melting, which was confirmed by XRD. The results showed that homogenization significantly improved the oil retention of the gels due to increased crystal surface area, while water addition slightly reduced it. Compared with traditional emulsions or oleogels, this water-in-oil gel system demonstrated prolonged stability and enhanced mechanical properties due to the dual functionality of DS at the water/oil interface and bulk.

Abstract
The effects of catechin on the emulsification and oxidation stability of myofibrillar protein-diacylglycerol (MP-DAG) emulsions were investigated. Lard samples, namely, lard, unpurified glycerolytic lard (UGL), and purified glycerolytic lard (PGL), were used as oil phases. The emulsifying effects of UGL- and PGL-based emulsions were superior to those of lard-based emulsions (P < 0.05). The emulsifying properties of MP-DAG emulsions increased initially and then decreased with a rise in the catechin concentration, with 20-μmol/g catechin exhibiting optimal emulsification activity and stability (P < 0.05). The droplets were tinier and evenly distributed, and the absolute ξ-potential values and rheological characteristics reached their maximum at a catechin concentration of 20 μmol/g. The formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and carbonyls declined significantly with the growth of catechin levels (P < 0.05), which confirmed that the oxidation of MPs and lipids was reduced efficiently by catechin. This study provides an idea for improving the emulsification and oxidation stability of MP-DAG emulsions, which offers a theoretical basis for the application of MP-DAG emulsions in meat products.

Abstract
The liver plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism. Obesity and a diet rich in fats (HFD) contribute to the accumulation of intracellular lipids. The aim of the study was to explore the involvement of acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1) in bioactive lipid accumulation and the induction of liver insulin resistance (InsR) in animals fed an HFD. The experiments were performed on male C57BL/6 mice divided into the following experimental groups: 1. Animals fed a control diet; 2. animals fed HFD; and 3. HFD-fed animals with the hepatic ACSL1 gene silenced through a hydrodynamic gene delivery technique. Long-chain acyl-CoAs, sphingolipids, and diacylglycerols were measured by LC/MS/MS. Glycogen was measured by means of a commercially available kit. The protein expression and phosphorylation state of the insulin pathway was estimated by Western blot. HFD-fed mice developed InsR, manifested as an increase in fasting blood glucose levels (202.5 mg/dL vs. 130.5 mg/dL in the control group) and inhibition of the insulin pathway, which resulted in an increase in the rate of gluconeogenesis (0.420 vs. 0.208 in the control group) and a decrease in the hepatic glycogen content (1.17 μg/mg vs. 2.32 μg/mg in the control group). Hepatic ACSL1 silencing resulted in decreased lipid content and improved insulin sensitivity, accounting for the decreased rate of gluconeogenesis (0.348 vs. 0.420 in HFD(+/+)) and the increased glycogen content (4.3 μg/mg vs. 1.17 μg/mg in HFD(+/+)). The elevation of gluconeogenesis and the decrease in glycogenesis in the hepatic tissue of HFD-fed mice resulted from cellular lipid accumulation. Inhibition of lipid synthesis through silencing ACSL1 alleviated HFD-induced hepatic InsR.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is projected to be the most common chronic liver disease worldwide and is closely linked to obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Currently, no pharmacological treatments are available to treat NAFLD, and lifestyle modification, including dietary interventions, is the only remedy. Therefore, we conducted a study to determine whether supplementation with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), containing a mixture of C8 and C10 (60/40), attenuates NAFLD in obese and insulin-resistant mice. To achieve that, we fed C57BL/6 male mice a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks to induce obesity and hepatic steatosis, after which obese mice were assigned randomly either to remain on the HFD or to transition to an HFD supplemented with MCTs (HFD + MCTs) or a low-fat diet (LFD) for 6 weeks as another dietary intervention model. Another group of mice was kept on an LFD throughout the study and used as a lean control group. Obese mice that transitioned to HFD + MCTs exhibited improvement in glucose and insulin tolerance tests, and the latter improvement was independent of changes in adiposity when compared with HFD-fed mice. Additionally, supplementation with MCTs significantly reduced hepatic steatosis, improved liver enzymes and decreased hepatic expression of inflammation-related genes to levels similar to those observed in obese mice transitioned to an LFD. Importantly, HFD + MCTs markedly lowered hepatic ceramide and diacylglycerol content and prevented protein kinase C-ε translocation to the plasma membrane. Our study demonstrated that supplementation with MCTs formulated mainly from C8 and C10 effectively ameliorated NAFLD in obese mice.

Abstract
HDL particles vary in lipidome and proteome, which dictate their individual physicochemical properties, metabolism, and biological activities. HDL dysmetabolism in nondiabetic hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) involves subnormal HDL-cholesterol and apoAI levels. Metabolic anomalies may impact the qualitative features of both the HDL lipidome and proteome. Whether particle content of bioactive lipids and proteins may differentiate HDL subclasses (HDL2b, 2a, 3a, 3b, and 3c) in HTG is unknown. Moreover, little is known of the effect of statin treatment on the proteolipidome of hypertriglyceridemic HDL and its subclasses. Nondiabetic, obese, HTG males (n = 12) received pitavastatin calcium (4 mg/day) for 180 days in a single-phase, unblinded study. ApoB-containing lipoproteins were normalized poststatin. Individual proteolipidomes of density-defined HDL subclasses were characterized prestatin and poststatin. At baseline, dense HDL3c was distinguished by marked protein diversity and peak abundance of surface lysophospholipids, amphipathic diacylglycerol and dihydroceramide, and core cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol, (normalized to mol phosphatidylcholine), whereas light HDL2b showed peak abundance of free cholesterol, sphingomyelin, glycosphingolipids (monohexosylceramide, dihexosylceramide, trihexosylceramide, and anionic GM3), thereby arguing for differential lipid transport and metabolism between subclasses. Poststatin, bioactive lysophospholipid (lysophosphatidylcholine, lysoalkylphosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylinositol) cargo was preferentially depleted in HDL3c. By contrast, baseline lipidomic profiles of ceramide, dihydroceramide and related glycosphingolipids, and GM3/phosphatidylcholine were maintained across particle subclasses. All subclasses were depleted in triacylglycerol and diacylglycerol/phosphatidylcholine. The abundance of apolipoproteins CI, CII, CIV, and M diminished in the HDL proteome. Statin treatment principally impacts metabolic remodeling of the abnormal lipidome of HDL particle subclasses in nondiabetic HTG, with lesser effects on the proteome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emulsifiers are widely used food additives in industrially processed foods to improve texture and enhance shelf-life. Experimental research suggests deleterious effects of emulsifiers on the intestinal microbiota and the metabolome, leading to chronic inflammation and increasing susceptibility to carcinogenesis. However, human epidemiological evidence investigating their association with cancer is nonexistent. This study aimed to assess associations between food additive emulsifiers and cancer risk in a large population-based prospective cohort. METHODS AND FINDINGS This study included 92,000 adults of the French NutriNet-Santé cohort without prevalent cancer at enrolment (44.5 y [SD: 14.5], 78.8% female, 2009 to 2021). They were followed for an average of 6.7 years [SD: 2.2]. Food additive emulsifier intakes were estimated for participants who provided at least 3 repeated 24-h dietary records linked to comprehensive, brand-specific food composition databases on food additives. Multivariable Cox regressions were conducted to estimate associations between emulsifiers and cancer incidence. Overall, 2,604 incident cancer cases were diagnosed during follow-up (including 750 breast, 322 prostate, and 207 colorectal cancers). Higher intakes of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (FAs) (E471) were associated with higher risks of overall cancer (HR high vs. low category = 1.15; 95% CI [1.04, 1.27], p-trend = 0.01), breast cancer (HR = 1.24; 95% CI [1.03, 1.51], p-trend = 0.04), and prostate cancer (HR = 1.46; 95% CI [1.09, 1.97], p-trend = 0.02). In addition, associations with breast cancer risk were observed for higher intakes of total carrageenans (E407 and E407a) (HR = 1.32; 95% CI [1.09, 1.60], p-trend = 0.009) and carrageenan (E407) (HR = 1.28; 95% CI [1.06, 1.56], p-trend = 0.01). No association was detected between any of the emulsifiers and colorectal cancer risk. Several associations with other emulsifiers were observed but were not robust throughout sensitivity analyses. Main limitations include possible exposure measurement errors in emulsifiers intake and potential residual confounding linked to the observational design. CONCLUSIONS In this large prospective cohort, we observed associations between higher intakes of carrageenans and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids with overall, breast and prostate cancer risk. These results need replication in other populations. They provide new epidemiological evidence on the role of emulsifiers in cancer risk. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03335644.

Abstract
This research aimed to create Pickering emulsions using modified soy protein isolate (SPI) as a stabilizer and flaxseed-derived diglyceride (DAG) as an oil phase. The SPI was modified through a process involving both heating and ultrasound treatment. The result indicated that the droplet size of emulsions increased with the increase in oil content (p < 0.05). For instance, the largest droplet size (23 µm) was observed at an oil-to-SPI dispersion ratio of 4:1 ratio (φ = 80), whereas the smallest droplet size (6.39 µm) was noticed at the 1:4 ratio. During the 7-day storage period, the emulsions with a 4:1 ratio (φ = 80) showed the lowest droplet size increase (from 23 µm to 25.58 µm). In contrast, the emulsions with a 1:1 ratio displayed the highest increase (from 19.39 µm to 74.29 µm). Creaming index results revealed that emulsions with a 4:1 ratio (φ = 80) showed no signs of creaming and phase separation than all other treatments (p < 0.05). Backscattering fluctuations (ΔBS) and turbiscan stability index (TSI) showed that emulsions with 4:1, 2:1, and 1:1 oil-to-SPI dispersion ratios had consistent ΔBS curves with higher and TSI curves with lower values. Optical microscopy, confocal laser scanning, and cryo-scanning electron microscopy revealed that emulsions with oil-to-SPI dispersion ratios of 4:1 and 2:1 had well-organized structures with no visible coalescence. Macromorphological and microrheological investigations demonstrated that emulsions with 80% oil content had the highest viscosity, both moduli, elasticity index, macroscopic viscosity index, and the lowest fluidity index and solid-liquid balance values. Moreover, these emulsions were more resistant to centrifugation and storage environments. In conclusion, the study determined that flaxseed-derived DAG-based high internal phase Pickering emulsions (φ = 80) had superior stability, improved viscoelasticity, and better rheological properties.

Abstract
High-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) equipped with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) was utilized for characterization of palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and its esterified products, with a particular focus on lipid profiles and diacylglycerol (DAG) regioisomers. The separation of triacylglycerol (TAG), DAG, monoacylglycerol (MAG), and free fatty acid (FFA) was achieved through a single 100-Å Phenogel column, coupled with a 2-cm C18 guard, utilizing toluene/acetic acid (100:0.25, v/v) as the mobile phase. This separation was based on size sieving principles and the interactions between the hydroxyl group(s) and the Phenogel matrix. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for the esterified PFAD products analyzed by this method fell within the range of 4.8-5.5 μg/mL and 14.7-16.7 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, the same column, paired with a 2-cm silica guard and a mobile phase comprised of toluene/isooctane/acetic acid (35:65:0.15, v/v/v), was used for the characterization of DAG regioisomers within the esterified PFAD. LODs and LOQs for sn-1,3-DAG and sn- 1,2-DAG were determined to be 39.2 and 118.7 μg/mL, and 32.8 and 99.5 μg/mL, respectively. Investigation of esterified PFAD products prepared using 4% H2SO4 at 120°C. After 2 h, the analysis revealed the highest MAG content at 31.85%, accompanied by 51.54% DAG, 2.35% TAG, and a residual 14.27% FFA. Notably, as the reaction time extended, the MAG content decreased, while both DAG and TAG levels exhibited an increasing trend. Further examination of DAG regioisomers during PFAD esterification, under varying catalyst concentrations (2-10%) and reaction temperatures (80-140°C), demonstrated a significant increase in the percentage of sn-1,3-DAG, inversely correlated with the reduction in FFA from 2% H 2 SO 4 and 80°C onwards. Remarkably, the percentage of sn-1,2-DAG remained relatively stable regardless of changes in catalyst concentrations or temperatures, confirming its susceptibility to isomerization into the thermodynamically more stable sn-1,3-DAG form. This study provides valuable insights into the composition and behavior of esterified PFAD products.

Abstract
In the pursuit of reducing oil separation in peanut butter, oleogels synthesized from diacylglycerol (DAG)-rich peanut oils, using glycerol monostearate (GMS) as the gelator, were examined as alternative stabilizers. In comparison to triacylglycerol (TAG)-rich peanut oils, the DAG oil-based oleogels exhibited better oil-binding capacities across increasing GMS concentrations. Intriguingly, thermal and rheological assessments pointed to a weaker network structure in DAG oil oleogels, as evidenced by their lower crystallization temperatures and reduced viscoelastic parameters (G' and G''). Insight from infrared spectroscopy revealed that this could stem from heightened intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the DAG oil and the gelator. When applied to peanut butter, DAG oil oleogels demonstrated efficacy in minimizing oil separation. Extended storage trials affirmed the long-term stability of peanut butter formulations incorporating these oleogels. Furthermore, sensory evaluations by panelists underscored favorable impressions, suggesting potential consumer acceptance. Overall, this study illuminates the promising role of DAG oleogels as effective, alternative stabilizers in peanut butter formulations.

Abstract
Studying the role of molecularly distinct lipid species in cell signaling remains challenging due to a scarcity of methods for performing quantitative lipid biochemistry in living cells. We have recently used lipid uncaging to quantify lipid-protein affinities and rates of lipid trans-bilayer movement and turnover in the diacylglycerol signaling pathway. This approach is based on acquiring live-cell dose-response curves requiring light dose titrations and experimental determination of uncaging photoreaction efficiency. We here aimed to develop a methodological approach that allows us to retrieve quantitative kinetic data from uncaging experiments that 1) require only typically available datasets without the need for specialized additional constraints and 2) should in principle be applicable to other types of photoactivation experiments. Our new analysis framework allows us to identify model parameters such as diacylglycerol-protein affinities and trans-bilayer movement rates, together with initial uncaged diacylglycerol levels, using noisy single-cell data for a broad variety of structurally different diacylglycerol species. We find that lipid unsaturation degree and side-chain length generally correlate with faster lipid trans-bilayer movement and turnover and also affect lipid-protein affinities. In summary, our work demonstrates how rate parameters and lipid-protein affinities can be quantified from single-cell signaling trajectories with sufficient sensitivity to resolve the subtle kinetic differences caused by the chemical diversity of cellular signaling lipid pools.

Abstract
Low (15 °C) and high (35 °C) temperatures significantly increased DHA as a percentage of total fatty acids (TFAs) to 43.6 % and 40.46 %, respectively (1.28- and 1.18-fold of that at 25 °C, respectively). The incompleteness of the FAS pathway indicates that DHA synthesis does not occur via this pathway. Meanwhile, Comparative transcriptome analysis showed that the PUFA synthase pathway might be responsible for DHA synthesis in C. sp. SUN. Additionally, the three diacylglycerol acyltransferases all had a substrate preference for saturated fatty acid (SFA)-CoA, which also contributed to the decreased SFA and increased DHA at both low and high temperatures. Additionally, WGCNA analysis identifies key regulatory genes that may be involved in temperature-regulated DHA proportion. The findings of this study indicate the mechanisms of temperature-regulated DHA accumulation in C. sp. SUN and shed light on the manipulation of DHA proportion by changes in temperature.

Abstract
Lipids are the main components of plant cell biofilms and play a crucial role in plant growth, Understanding the modulation in lipid profiles under heat stress can contribute to understanding the heat tolerance mechanisms in wheat leaves. In the current study, two wheat cultivars with different heat tolerance levels were treated with optimum temperature (OT) and high temperature (HT) at the flowering stage, and the antioxidant enzyme activity in the leaves and the grain yield were determined. Further, lipidomics was studied to determine the changes in lipid composition in the leaves. The heat-tolerant cultivar ZM7698 exhibited higher antioxidant enzyme activity and lower malondialdehyde and H2O2 contents. High-temperature stress led to the remodeling of lipid profile in the two cultivars. The relative proportion of digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) components increased in the heat-tolerant cultivar under high-temperature stress, while it was decreased in the heat-sensitive cultivar. The lipid unsaturation levels of sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG), monogalactosyl monoacylglycerol (MGMG), and phosphatidic acid (PA) decreased significantly in the heat-tolerant cultivar under high-temperature stress. The increase in unsaturation of monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the heat-tolerant cultivar under high-temperature stress was lower than in the heat-sensitive cultivar. In addition, a high sitosterol/stigmasterol (SiE/StE) ratio was observed in heat-tolerant cultivar under high-temperature stress. Taken together, these results revealed that a heat-tolerant cultivar could enhance its ability to resist heat stress by modulating the composition and ratio of the lipid components and decreasing lipid unsaturation levels in wheat.

Abstract
Substituting animal-based fats with plant-based fats of similar stability and functionality has always posed a significant challenge for the food industry. Enzymatic glycerolysis products are systems formed by converting native triacylglycerols in liquid oils into monoacylglycerols and diacylglycerols, mainly studied in the last few years for their unique structural ability. This study aims to modify and scale up the glycerolysis process of different plant oils, e.g., shea olein, palm olein, tigernut, peanut, cottonseed, and rice bran oils, with the goal of producing animal fat mimetics. The reactions were conducted at 65 °C, with a plant oil:glycerol molar ratio of 1:1, and without the addition of water, using a lab-scale reactor to convert up to 2 kg of oil into solid fat. Product characteristics were comparable at both laboratory and pilot plant scales, supporting the commercial viability of the process. Oil systems containing higher levels of both saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as shea olein and palm olein, displayed higher solid fat content at elevated temperatures and broader melting profiles with significantly higher melting points. Comparison of the thermal softening behavior and mechanical properties of these systems with those of pork, beef, and lamb fat showed their high potential to replace adipose fat in the new generation of plant-based meat analogs.

Abstract
Lesion mimic mutations (LMMs) often confer broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) in plants, but with significant yield penalties. Sha et al. recently demonstrated that genome editing of the rice BSR gene RESISTANCE TO BLAST1 (RBL1), encoding a cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) synthase involved in phospholipid biosynthesis, confers multipathogen resistance without an obvious trade-off in yield.

Abstract
Degumming is an oil refinement process in which the naturally occurring phospholipids in crude vegetable oils are removed. Enzymatic degumming results in higher oil yield and more cost-efficient processing compared to traditional degumming processes using only water or acid. Phospholipase C hydrolyses phospholipids into diglycerides and phosphate groups during degumming. The diglyceride content can therefore be considered a good indicator of the state of the enzymatic reaction. This study investigates the use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and chemometrics to monitor the degumming process by quantifying diglycerides in soybean oil in both off-line and on-line settings. Fifteen enzymatic degumming lab scale batches originating from a definitive screening design (with varying water, acid, and enzyme dosages) were investigated with the aim to develop a NIR spectroscopy prediction method. By applying tailored preprocessing and variable selection methods, the diglyceride content can be predicted with a root mean square error of prediction of 0.06% (w/w) for the off-line set-up and 0.07% (w/w) for the on-line set-up. The results show that the diglyceride content is a good indicator of the enzyme performance and that NIR spectroscopy is a suitable analytical technique for robust real-time diglyceride quantification.

Abstract
Herein, we report the formation of drug delivery systems from original thermoresponsive block copolymers containing lipid-based segments. Two acrylate monomers derived from palmitic- or oleic-acid-based diacylglycerols (DAGs) were synthesized and polymerized by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method. Well-defined DAG-based polymers with targeted molar masses and narrow molar mass distributions were next used as macro-chain transfer agents (macro-CTAs) for the polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) or N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL). The obtained amphiphilic block copolymers were formed into polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) with and without encapsulated doxorubicin and characterized. Their biological assessment indicated appropriate cytocompatibility with the representatives of normal cells. Furthermore, compared to the free drug, increased cytotoxicity and apoptosis or necrosis induction in breast cancer cells was documented, including a highly aggressive and invasive triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cell line.

Abstract
Sphingomyelin (SM) synthase 1 (SMS1), which is involved in lipodystrophy, deafness, and thrombasthenia, generates diacylglycerol (DG) and SM using phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ceramide as substrates. Here, we found that SMS1 possesses DG-generating activities via hydrolysis of PC and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the absence of ceramide and ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase (CPES) activity. In the presence of the same concentration (4.7 mol%) of PC and ceramide, the amounts of DG produced by SMS and PC-phospholipase C (PLC) activities of SMS1 were approximately 65% and 35% of total DG production, respectively. PC-PLC activity showed substrate selectivity for saturated and/or monounsaturated fatty acid-containing PC species. A PC-PLC/SMS inhibitor, D609, inhibited only SMS activity. Mn2+ inhibited only PC-PLC activity. Intriguingly, DG attenuated SMS/CPES activities. Our study indicates that SMS1 is a unique enzyme with PC-PLC/PE-PLC/SMS/CPES activities.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is largely associated with aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Nevertheless, how membrane lipid composition is altered in HCC cells with abnormal Wnt signaling remains elusive. Here, by exploiting comprehensive lipidome profiling, we unravel the membrane lipid composition of six different HCC cell lines with mutations in components of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, leading to differences in their endogenous signaling activity. Among the differentially regulated lipids are diacylglycerol (DAG) and ceramide, which were downregulated at the membrane of HCC cells after Wnt3a treatment. DAG and ceramide enhanced Wnt/β-catenin signaling by inducing caveolin-mediated endocytosis of the canonical Wnt-receptor complex, while their depletion suppressed the signaling activity along with a reduction of caveolin-mediated endocytosis in SNU475 and HepG2 cells. Moreover, depletion of DAG and ceramide significantly impeded the proliferation, tumor growth, and in vivo migration capacity of SNU475 and HepG2 cells. This study, by pioneering plasma membrane lipidome profiling in HCC cells, exhibits the remarkable potential of lipids to correct dysregulated signaling pathways in cancer and stop abnormal tumor growth.

Abstract
With the diversity of consumer demands for healthy food, stricter requirements have been put forward for the product quality of sea eel (Astroconger myriaster). From the common experience, remarkable differences could be observed between different parts of the sea eel. The textures, basic nutritional compositions, and lipid compositions from seven parts of sea eel were investigated to reach a comprehensive evaluation of the nutritional value. Sea eel was high-fat fish which contained 21.65% to 22.84% crude fat from part one to part seven. The seventh segment exhibited a lower moisture content (51.32%) and higher contents of protein (22.76%), ash (2.46%), carbohydrate (0.80%). The third and fourth parts remained higher hardness and good water-holding capacity. Sea eel had sixteen fatty acids, and the tail possessed a higher proportion of n - 3/n - 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Twenty-seven lipid species were determined in sea eel, and highly unsaturated fatty acids mainly stemmed from triglycerides, while saturated fatty acids mainly existed as diglycerides. Section six and seven were primarily diglycerides and monoglycerides. According to the characteristics of different parts, it can provide support for standardized segmentation of sea eel and quality control of different parts.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which affects multiple organs, is causing an unprecedented global public health crisis. Most COVID-19 patients recover gradually upon appropriate interventions. Viruses were reported to utilize the small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), containing a cell-specific cargo of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, to escape the attack from the host's immune system. This study aimed to examine the sEVs lipid profile of plasma of recovered COVID-19 patients (RCs). Plasma sEVs were separated from 83 RCs 3 months after discharge without underlying diseases, including 18 recovered asymptomatic patients (RAs), 32 recovered moderate patients (RMs), and 33 recovered severe and critical patients (RSs), and 19 healthy controls (HCs) by Total Exosome Isolation Kit. Lipids were extracted from sEVs and then subjected to targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The size, concentration, and distribution of sEVs did not differ in RCs and HCs as validated by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and immunoblot analysis. Fifteen subclasses of 508 lipids were detected in plasma sEVs from HCs, RAs, RMs, and RSs, such as phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and diacylglycerols (DAGs), etc. Total lipid intensity displayed downregulation in RCs compared with HCs. The relative abundance of DAGs gradually dropped, whereas PCs, lysophosphatidylcholines, and sphingomyelins were higher in RCs relative to HCs, especially in RSs. 88 lipids out of 241 in sEVs of RCs were significantly different and a conspicuous increase was revealed with disease status. The sEVs lipids alternations were found to be significantly correlated with the clinical indices in RCs and HCs, suggesting that the impact of COVID-19 on lipid metabolism lingered for a long time. The lipid abnormalities bore an intimate link with glycerophospholipid metabolism and glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis. Furthermore, the lipidomic analysis showed that RCs were at higher risk of developing diabetes and sustaining hepatic impairment. The abnormality of immunomodulation in RCs might still exist. The study may offer new insights into the mechanism of organ dysfunction and help identify novel therapeutic targets in the RCs.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is conducive to multiple meat quality properties, while abdominal fat (AF) is treated as waste product in chicken industry. However, the heterogeneity and distinct regulatory mechanisms of lipid composition between the IMF and AF are still unclear. In this study, we carried out non-targeted lipidomics analyses of pectoralis IMF and AF, and detected a total of 423 differential lipid molecules (DLMs) between chicken IMF and AF, including 307 up-regulated and 116 down-regulated DLMs in pectoral IMF. These DLMs exhibited the definite alteration of lipid composition. The up-reglated DLMs in IMF were mainly glycerophospholipids (GPs), including the bulk of phosphatidylcholines (PC, PC (P) and PC (O)), phosphatidylethanolamines (PE, PE (P) and PE (O)), phosphatidylglycerols (PG) and phosphatidylinositol (PI), while the up-reglated DLMs in AF were mainly glycerolipids (GLs), including most of triacylglycerols (TG) and diacylglycerols (DG). We further identified 28 main DLMs contributing to the heterogeneous deposition of IMF and AF, including 11 TGs common to IMF and AF, 12 PCs/PC (P)s specific to IMF and 5 DGs specific to AF. Further integration of transcriptome with the main DLMs by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we found five key gene sets that included 386 unique genes promoting IMF deposition in pectoralis, 213 unique genes promoting AF deposition, 6 unique genes detrimental to AF deposition, 7 common genes that promote IMF deposition in pectoralis while adversely affect AF deposition, and 28 genes that only promoted IMF deposition in pectoralis but had no effect on AF deposition. In addition, we also observed the expression characteristics of key genes in vivo and in vitro, and found that transmembrane protein family gene TMEM164 might be mainly involved in the positive regulation of intramuscular fat deposition in pectoralis and zinc finger protein family gene ZNF488 had a potential unique positive regulatory function on abdominal fat deposition. These findings provide new perspectives for understanding IMF and AF heterodeposition and will serve as a valuable information resource for improving meat quality via breeding selection in chicken.

Abstract
Munc13-1 is a key protein necessary for vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release in the brain. Diacylglycerol (DAG)/phorbol ester binds to its C1 domain in the plasma membrane and activates it. The C1 domain of Munc13-1 and protein kinase C (PKC) are homologous in terms of sequence and structure. In order to identify small-molecule modulators of Munc13-1 targeting the C1 domain, we studied the effect of three DAG-lactones, (R,Z)-(2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(3-isobutyl-5-methylhexylidene)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl pivalate (JH-131e-153), (E)-(2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(3-isobutyl-5-methylhexylidene)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl pivalate (AJH-836), and (E)-(2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate (130C037), on Munc13-1 activation using the ligand-induced membrane translocation assay. JH-131e-153 showed higher activation than AJH-836, and 130C037 was not able to activate Munc13-1. To understand the role of the ligand-binding site residues in the activation process, three alanine mutants were generated. For AJH-836, the order of activation was wild-type (WT) Munc13-1 > R592A > W588A > I590A. For JH-131e-153, the order of activation was WT > I590 ≈ R592A ≈ W588A. Overall, the Z isomer of DAG-lactones showed higher potency than the E isomer and Trp-588, Ile-590, and Arg-592 were important for its binding. When comparing the activation of Munc13-1 and PKC, the order of activation for JH-131e-153 was PKCα > Munc13-1 > PKCε and for AJH-836, the order of activation was PKCε > PKCα > Munc13-1. Molecular docking supported higher binding of JH-131e-153 than AJH-836 with the Munc13-1 C1 domain. Our results suggest that DAG-lactones have the potential to modulate neuronal processes via Munc13-1 and can be further developed for therapeutic intervention for neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the associations between exposure to food additive emulsifiers and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING French NutriNet-Santé study, 2009-21. PARTICIPANTS 95 442 adults (>18 years) without prevalent CVD who completed at least three 24 hour dietary records during the first two years of follow-up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Associations between intake of food additive emulsifiers (continuous (mg/day)) and risk of CVD, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease characterised using multivariable proportional hazard Cox models to compute hazard ratios for each additional standard deviation (SD) of emulsifier intake, along with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Mean age was 43.1 (SD 14.5) years, and 79.0% (n=75 390) of participants were women. During follow-up (median 7.4 years), 1995 incident CVD, 1044 coronary heart disease, and 974 cerebrovascular disease events were diagnosed. Higher intake of celluloses (E460-E468) was found to be positively associated with higher risks of CVD (hazard ratio for an increase of 1 standard deviation 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 1.09, P=0.003) and coronary heart disease (1.07, 1.02 to 1.12, P=0.004). Specifically, higher cellulose E460 intake was linked to higher risks of CVD (1.05, 1.01 to 1.09, P=0.007) and coronary heart disease (1.07, 1.02 to 1.12, P=0.005), and higher intake of carboxymethylcellulose (E466) was associated with higher risks of CVD (1.03, 1.01 to 1.05, P=0.004) and coronary heart disease (1.04, 1.02 to 1.06, P=0.001). Additionally, higher intakes of monoglycerides and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471 and E472) were associated with higher risks of all outcomes. Among these emulsifiers, lactic ester of monoglycerides and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472b) was associated with higher risks of CVD (1.06, 1.02 to 1.10, P=0.002) and cerebrovascular disease (1.11, 1.06 to 1.16, P<0.001), and citric acid ester of monoglycerides and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472c) was associated with higher risks of CVD (1.04, 1.02 to 1.07, P=0.004) and coronary heart disease (1.06, 1.03 to 1.09, P<0.001). High intake of trisodium phosphate (E339) was associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (1.06, 1.00 to 1.12, P=0.03). Sensitivity analyses showed consistent associations. CONCLUSION This study found positive associations between risk of CVD and intake of five individual and two groups of food additive emulsifiers widely used in industrial foods.

Abstract
Mortierella alpina produces various polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG). Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the binding of acyl-CoA to diacylglycerol to form TAG and is the key enzyme involved in TAG synthesis. A variety of DGATs are present in M. alpina; however, comparative analysis of the functional properties and substrate selectivity of these DGATs is insufficient. In this study, DGAT1 (MaDGAT1A/1B/1C) and DGAT2 (MaDGAT2A/2B) isoforms from M. alpina were analyzed and heterologously expressed in S. cerevisiae H1246. The results showed that MaDGAT1A/1B/2A/2B were able to restore TAG synthesis, and the corresponding TAG content in recombinant yeasts was 2.92 ± 0.42%, 3.62 ± 0.22%, 0.86 ± 0.34%, and 0.18 ± 0.09%, respectively. In S. cerevisiae H1246, MaDGAT1A preferred C16:1 among monounsaturated fatty acids, MaDGAT1B preferred C16:0 among saturated fatty acids (SFAs), and MaDGAT2A/2B preferred C18:0 among SFAs. Under exogenous addition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), MaDGAT1A and 2A preferentially assembled linoleic acid into TAG, and MaDGAT2B had substrate selectivity for eicosapentaenoic and linoleic acids in ω-6 PUFAs. In vitro, MaDGAT1A showed no obvious acyl-CoA selectivity and MaDGAT1B preferred C20:5-CoA. MaDGAT1A/1B preferred C18:1/C18:1-DAG compared with C20:4/C20:4-DAG. This study indicates that MaDGATs have the potential to be used in the production of LA/EPA-rich TAG and provide a reference for improving the production of TAGs in oleaginous fungi. KEY POINTS: • MaDGAT1A preferred C16:1 among MUFAs, MaDGAT1B and MaDGAT2A/2B preferred C16:0 and C18:0 among SFAs, respectively • MaDGAT1A/2A preferentially assembled linoleic acid into TAG, and MaDGAT2B has substrate selectivity for eicosapentaenoic acid and linoleic acid in ω-6 PUFAs • MaDGAT1A showed no obvious acyl-CoA selectivity, and MaDGAT1B preferred C20:5-CoA. MaDGAT1A/1B preferred to select C18:1/C18:1-DAG compared with C20:4/C20:4-DAG.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol (DAG) is an intermediate product in lipid metabolism and plays an important physiological role in human body. It is mainly prepared by hydrolyzing lipid with lipase. However, research on the detection method of 1, 2-diacylglycerol (1, 2-DAG) and 1, 3-diacylglycerol (1, 3-DAG) and catalytic specificity of lipase was not enough, which limits its wide application. To address these challenges, an efficient quantitative detection method was first established for 1, 2-DAG (0.025-0.200 g/L) and 1, 3-DAG (0.025-0.150 g/L) by combining supercritical fluid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detector and optimizing the detection and analysis parameters. Based on the molecular docking between Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) and triolein, five potential substrate binding sites were selected for site-specific saturation mutation to construct a mutation library for enzyme activity and position specificity screening. The specificity of sn-1, 3 of the I202V mutant was the highest in the library, which was 11.7% higher than the specificity of the wild type TLL. In summary, the position specificity of TLL was modified based on a semi-rational design, and an efficient separation and detection method of DAG isomers was also established, which provided a reference for the study of the catalytic specificity of lipase.

Abstract
Here, we introduce the full functional reconstitution of genetically validated core protein machinery (SNAREs, Munc13, Munc18, Synaptotagmin, and Complexin) for synaptic vesicle priming and release in a geometry that enables detailed characterization of the fate of docked vesicles both before and after release is triggered with Ca2+. Using this setup, we identify new roles for diacylglycerol (DAG) in regulating vesicle priming and Ca2+-triggered release involving the SNARE assembly chaperone Munc13. We find that low concentrations of DAG profoundly accelerate the rate of Ca2+-dependent release, and high concentrations reduce clamping and permit extensive spontaneous release. As expected, DAG also increases the number of docked, release-ready vesicles. Dynamic single-molecule imaging of Complexin binding to release-ready vesicles directly establishes that DAG accelerates the rate of SNAREpin assembly mediated by chaperones, Munc13 and Munc18. The selective effects of physiologically validated mutations confirmed that the Munc18-Syntaxin-VAMP2 "template" complex is a functional intermediate in the production of primed, release-ready vesicles, which requires the coordinated action of Munc13 and Munc18.

Abstract
Cells latently infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) prevent people living with HIV-1 from obtaining a cure to the infectious disease. Latency reversing agents (LRAs) such as protein kinase C (PKC) activators and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors can reactivate cells latently infected with HIV-1. Several trials based on treatment with HDAC inhibitors alone, however, failed to reduce the number of latent HIV-1 reservoirs. Herein, we have focused on a diacylglycerol (DAG)-lactone derivative, YSE028 (1), which is a PKC activator with latency reversing activity and no significant cytotoxicity. Caspase-3 activation of YSE028 (1) led to cell apoptosis, specifically in HIV-1 latently infected cells. Structure-activity relationship studies of YSE028 (1) have produced several useful derivatives. Among these, compound 2 is approximately ten times more potent than YSE028 (1) in reactivation of cells latently infected with HIV-1. The activity of DAG-lactone derivatives was correlated with the binding affinity for PKC and the stability against esterase-mediated hydrolysis.

Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) serve as a crucial signaling mechanism in almost all cells. The buffers are proteins that bind free Ca2+ to reduce the cell's Ca2+ concentration. The most studies reported in the past on calcium signaling in various cells have considered the buffer concentration as constant in the cell. However, buffers also diffuse and their concentration varies dynamically in the cells. Almost no work has been reported on interdependent calcium and buffer dynamics in the cells. In the present study, a model is proposed for inter-dependent spatio-temporal dynamics of calcium and buffer by coupling reaction-diffusion equations of Ca2+ and buffer in a hepatocyte cell. Boundary and initial conditions are framed based on the physiological state of the cell. The effect of various parameters viz. inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R), diffusion coefficient, SERCA pump and ryanodine receptor (RyR) on spatio-temporal dynamics of calcium and buffer regulating diacylglycerol (DAG) in a normal and obese hepatocyte cell has been studied using finite element simulation. From the results, it is concluded that the dynamics of calcium and buffer impact each other significantly along the spatio-temporal dimensions, thereby affecting the regulation of all the processes including DAG in a hepatocyte cell. The proposed model is more realistic than the existing ones, as the interdependent system dynamics of calcium and buffer have different regulatory impacts as compared to the individual and independent dynamics of these signaling processes in a hepatocyte cell.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rate-limiting enzymes (RLEs) are innate slow points in metabolic pathways, and many function in bio-processes related to nutrient sensing. Many RLEs carry causal mutations relevant to inherited metabolic disorders. Because the activity of RLEs in cardiovascular health is poorly characterized, our objective was to assess their involvement in cardiometabolic health and disease and where altered biophysical and biochemical functions can promote disease. METHODS A dataset of 380 human RLEs was compared to protein and gene datasets for factors likely to contribute to cardiometabolic disease, including proteins showing significant age-related altered expression in blood and genetic loci with variants that associate with common cardiometabolic phenotypes. The biochemical reactions catalyzed by RLEs were evaluated for metabolites enriched in RLE subsets associating with various cardiometabolic phenotypes. Most significance tests were based on Z-score enrichment converted to p values with a normal distribution function. RESULTS Of 380 RLEs analyzed, 112 function in mitochondria, and 53 are assigned to inherited metabolic disorders. There was a depletion of RLE proteins known as aging biomarkers. At the gene level, RLEs were assessed for common genetic variants that associated with important cardiometabolic traits of LDL-cholesterol or any of the five outcomes pertinent to metabolic syndrome. This revealed several RLEs with links to cardiometabolic traits, from a minimum of 26 for HDL-cholesterol to a maximum of 45 for plasma glucose. Analysis of these GWAS-linked RLEs for enrichment of the molecular constituents of the catalyzed reactions disclosed a number of significant phenotype-metabolite links. These included blood pressure with acetate (p = 2.2 × 10-4) and NADP+ (p = 0.0091), plasma HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride with diacylglycerol (p = 2.6 × 10-5, 6.4 × 10-5, respectively) and diolein (p = 2.2 × 10-6, 5.9 × 10-6), and waist circumference with d-glucosamine-6-phosphate (p = 1.8 × 10-4). CONCLUSION In the context of cardiometabolic health, aging, and disease, these results highlight key diet-derived metabolites that are central to specific rate-limited processes that are linked to cardiometabolic health. These metabolites include acetate and diacylglycerol, pertinent to blood pressure and triglycerides, respectively, as well as diacylglycerol and HDL-cholesterol.

Abstract
Lipid-based delivery systems are commonly used to encapsulate hydrophobic bioactive compounds for enhancing their bioaccessibility and bioavailability, especially for triacylglycerol (TAG) oil-based delivery systems. However, studies on the development of 1,3-diacylglycerol (DAG) oil-based delivery systems are rather limited. Herein, the influence of 1,3-DAG oil as a carrier oil on the properties of nanoemulsions and the bioaccessibility of encapsulated hydrophobic nobiletin (NOB) were investigated. High-purity 1,3-DAG (over 93% pure) was prepared by a combination of enzymatic esterification and ethanol crystallization. 1,3-DAG oil as a carrier oil could be used to formulate nanoemulsions with smaller droplet size, narrower size distribution and similar stability compared to TAG oil. Importantly, 1,3-DAG oil could efficiently encapsulate high-loading NOB (1.45 mg g-1) in nanoemulsions and significantly improve the bioaccessibility of NOB (above 80%), which is attributable to its massive lipolysis and higher encapsulation capacity than TAG oil. Moreover, the addition of the 1,3-DAG component in TAG oil significantly improved the properties of nanoemulsions and the loading and bioaccessibility of NOB, especially as the 1,3-DAG content was not less than 50%. The structure of lipids (DAG versus TAG) influenced the nanoemulsion properties and the bioaccessibility of encapsulated NOB. Based on the good properties of 1,3-DAG oil coupled with its health benefits, 1,3-DAG oil-based nanoemulsion delivery systems have great prospects for improving and extending emulsion properties and bioactivity as well as bioaccessibility enhancement.

Abstract
The chemical and physical properties of vegetable oils are largely dictated by the ratios of 4-6 common fatty acids contained within each oil. However, examples of plant species that accumulate from trace amounts to >90% of certain unusual fatty acids in seed triacylglycerols have been reported. Many of the general enzymatic reactions that drive both common and unusual fatty acid biosynthesis and accumulation in stored lipids are known, but which isozymes have evolved to specifically fill this role and how they coordinate in vivo is still poorly understood. Cotton (Gossypium sp.) is the very rare example of a commodity oilseed that produces biologically relevant amounts of unusual fatty acids in its seeds and other organs. In this case, unusual cyclopropyl fatty acids (named after the cyclopropane and cyclopropene moieties within the fatty acids) are found in membrane and storage glycerolipids (e.g. seed oils). Such fatty acids are useful in the synthesis of lubricants, coatings, and other types of valuable industrial feedstocks. To characterize the role of cotton acyltransferases in cyclopropyl fatty acid accumulation for bioengineering applications, we cloned and characterized type-1 and type-2 diacylglycerol acyltransferases from cotton and compared their biochemical properties to that of litchi (Litchi chinensis), another cyclopropyl fatty acid-producing plant. The results presented from transgenic microbes and plants indicate both cotton DGAT1 and DGAT2 isozymes efficiently utilize cyclopropyl fatty acid-containing substrates, which helps to alleviate biosynthetic bottlenecks and enhances total cyclopropyl fatty acid accumulation in the seed oil.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is an inflammatory disease characterized by irreversible changes. However, acute CP attacks can lead to various complications and affect patient prognosis. Therefore, this study aimed to identify reliable candidate metabolic biomarkers for diagnosing acute CP attacks and complement candidate diagnostic markers for CP. METHODS A total of 139 serum specimens were prospectively included in three consecutive exploratory, identification, and validation studies. All samples were analyzed for candidate diagnostic biomarkers and metabolic pathways using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer. RESULTS Serum metabolic profiles differed between patients with CP and non-pancreatic disease controls, and 239 potential metabolic biomarkers for diagnosing CP were identified. Based on identification and validation studies, Diacylglycerol(16:0/18:4), 16-F1-PhytoP, N-(hexacosanoyl)-tetradecasphing-4-enine, carnosic acid, and Auxin b were identified as biomarkers for distinguishing acute attacks from non-acute attacks in patients with CP. The area under the curve of the Diacylglycerol(16:0/18:4) was 0.969 (95% confidence interval, 0.869-1) in the validation study. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the first prospective cohort study to identify and validate a metabolomic signature in serum for diagnosing acute attacks of CP. In addition, our study identified 239 potential biomarkers for CP diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemerocallis citrina Baroni (daylily) is a horticultural ornamental plant and vegetable with various applications as a raw material in traditional Chinese medicine and as a flavouring agent. Daylily contains many functional substances and is rich in lecithin, which is mostly composed of glycerophospholipids. To study the comprehensive dynamic changes in glycerophospholipid during daylily flowering and the underlying signalling mechanisms, we performed comprehensive, time-resolved lipidomic and transcriptomic analyses of 'Datong Huanghua 6' daylily. RESULTS Labelling with PKH67 fluorescent antibodies clearly and effectively helped visualise lipid changes in daylily, while relative conductivity and malonaldehyde content detection revealed that the early stages of flowering were controllable processes; however, differences became non-significant after 18 h, indicating cellular damage. In addition, phospholipase D (PLD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) activities increased throughout the flowering process, suggesting that lipid hydrolysis and oxidation had intensified. Lipidomics identified 558 lipids that changed during flowering, with the most different lipids found 12 h before and 12 h after flowering. Transcriptome analysis identified 13 key functional genes and enzymes in the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway. The two-way orthogonal partial least squares analysis showed that diacylglycerol diphosphate phosphatase correlated strongly and positively with phosphatidic acid (PA)(22:0/18:2), PA(34:2), PA(34:4), and diacylglycerol(18:2/21:0) but negatively with phospholipase C. In addition, ethanolamine phosphotransferase gene and phospholipid-N-methyltransferase gene correlated positively with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)(16:0/18:2), PE(16:0/18:3), PE(33:2), and lysophosphatidylcholine (16:0) but negatively with PE(34:1). CONCLUSIONS Overall, this study elucidated changes in the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway during the daylily flowering process, as well as characteristic genes, thus providing a basis for future studies of glycerophospholipids and signal transduction in daylilies.

Abstract
Lipid droplet is a dynamic organelle that undergoes periods of biogenesis and degradation under environmental stimuli. The excessive accumulation of lipid droplets is the major characteristic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Moderate aerobic exercise is a powerful intervention protecting against the progress of NAFLD. However, its impact on lipid droplet dynamics remains ambiguous. Mice were fed with 15 weeks of high-fat diet in order to induce NAFLD. Meanwhile, the mice performed 15 weeks of treadmill exercise. Our results showed that 15 weeks of regular moderate treadmill exercise alleviated obesity, insulin intolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia induced by HFD. Importantly, exercise improved histological phenotypes of NAFLD, including hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and locular ballooning, as well as prevented liver fat deposition and liver injury induced by HFD. Exercise reduced hepatic lipid droplet size, and moreover, it reduced PLIN2 protein level and increased PLIN3 protein level in the liver of HFD mice. Interestingly, our results showed that exercise did not significantly affect the gene expressions of DGAT1, DGAT2, or SEIPIN, which were involved in TG synthesis. However, it did reduce the expressions of FITM2, CIDEA, and FSP27, which were major involved in lipid droplet growth and budding, and lipid droplet expansion. In addition, exercise reduced ATGL protein level in HFD mice, and regulated lipophagy-related markers, including increasing ATG5, LAMP1, LAMP2, LAL, and CTSD, decreasing LC3II/I and p62, and promoting colocalization of LAMP1 with LDs. In summary, our data suggested that 15 weeks of moderate treadmill exercise was beneficial for regulating liver lipid droplet dynamics in HFD mice by inhibiting abnormal lipid droplets expansion and enhancing clearance of lipid droplets by lysosomes during the lipophagic process, which might provide highly flexible turnover for lipid mobilization and metabolism.

Abstract
Xanthohumol (XN) improves cognition of wild-type rodents on a high-fat diet (HFD). Bile acids and ceramide levels in the liver and hippocampus might be linked to these effects. XN modulates activity of the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR; also known as NR1H4), the primary receptor for bile acids. To determine the role of FXR in the liver and intestine in mediating the effects of XN on cognitive performance, mice with intestine- and liver-specific FXR ablation (FXRIntestine-/- and FXRLiver-/-, respectively) on an HFD or an HFD containing XN were cognitively tested. XN improved cognitive performance in a genotype- and sex-dependent manner, with improved task learning in females (specifically wild-type), reversal learning in males (specifically wild-type and FXRIntestine-/- mutant) and spatial learning (both sexes). XN increased hippocampal diacylglycerol and sphingomyelin levels in females but decreased them in males. XN increased the ratio of shorter-chain to longer-chain ceramides and hexaceramides. Higher diacylglycerol and lower longer-chain ceramide and hexaceramide levels were linked to improved cognitive performance. Thus, the beneficial sex-dependent cognitive effects of XN are linked to changes in hippocampal diacylglycerol and ceramide levels. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Depending on their fatty acid (FA) chain length, triacylglycerols (TAGs) have distinct applications; thus, a feedstock with a genetically designed chain length is desirable to maximize process efficiency and product versatility. Here, ex vivo, in vitro, and in vivo profiling of the large set of type-2 diacylglycerol acyltransferases (NoDGAT2s) in the industrial oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica revealed two endoplasmic reticulum-localized enzymes that can assemble medium-chain FAs (MCFAs) with 8-12 carbons into TAGs. Specifically, NoDGAT2D serves as a generalist that assembles C8-C18 FAs into TAG, whereas NoDGAT2H is a specialist that incorporates only MCFAs into TAG. Based on such specialization, stacking of NoDGAT2D with MCFA- or diacylglycerol-supplying enzymes or regulators, including rationally engineering Cuphea palustris acyl carrier protein thioesterase, Cocos nucifera lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, and Arabidopsis thaliana WRINKLED1, elevated the medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) share in total TAG 66-fold and MCT productivity 64.8-fold at the peak phase of oil production. Such functional specialization of NoDGAT2s in the chain length of substrates and products reveals a dimension of control in the cellular TAG profile, which can be exploited for producing designer oils in microalgae.

Abstract
Self-powered information encoding devices (IEDs) have drawn considerable interest owing to their capability to process information without batteries. Next-generation IEDs should be reprogrammable, self-healing, and wearable to satisfy the emerging requirements for multifunctional IEDs; however, such devices have not been demonstrated. Herein, an integrated triboelectric nanogenerator-based IED with the aforementioned features was developed based on the designed light-responsive high-permittivity poly(sebacoyl diglyceride-co-4,4'-azodibenzoyl diglyceride) elastomer (PSeDAE) with a triple-shape-memory effect. The electrical memory feature was achieved through a microscale shape-memory property, enabling spatiotemporal information reprogramming for the IED. Macroscale shape-memory behavior afforded the IED shape-reprogramming ability, yielding wearable and detachable features. The dynamic transesterifications and light-heating groups in the PSeDAE afforded a remotely controlled rearrangement of its cross-linking network, producing the self-healing IED.

Abstract
Natural polyamines (PAs) are involved in the processes of proliferation and differentiation of cancer cells. Lipophilic synthetic polyamines (LPAs) induce the cell death of various cancer cell lines. In the current paper, we have demonstrated a new method for synthesis of LPAs via the multicomponent Ugi reaction and subsequent reduction of amide groups by PhSiH3. The anticancer activity of the obtained compounds was evaluated in the A-549, MCF7, and HCT116 cancer cell lines. For the first time, it was shown that the anticancer activity of LPAs with piperazine fragments is comparable with that of aliphatic LPAs. The presence of a diglyceride fragment in the structure of LPAs appears to be a key factor for the manifestation of high anticancer activity. The findings of the study strongly support further research in the field of LPAs and their derivatives.

Abstract
T cells use kinetic proofreading to discriminate antigens by converting small changes in antigen-binding lifetime into large differences in cell activation, but where in the signaling cascade this computation is performed is unknown. Previously, we developed a light-gated immune receptor to probe the role of ligand kinetics in T cell antigen signaling. We found significant kinetic proofreading at the level of the signaling lipid diacylglycerol (DAG) but lacked the ability to determine where the multiple signaling steps required for kinetic discrimination originate in the upstream signaling cascade (Tiseher and Weiner, 2019). Here, we uncover where kinetic proofreading is executed by adapting our optogenetic system for robust activation of early signaling events. We find the strength of kinetic proofreading progressively increases from Zap70 recruitment to LAT clustering to downstream DAG generation. Leveraging the ability of our system to rapidly disengage ligand binding, we also measure slower reset rates for downstream signaling events. These data suggest a distributed kinetic proofreading mechanism, with proofreading steps both at the receptor and at slower resetting downstream signaling complexes that could help balance antigen sensitivity and discrimination.

Abstract
Polar lipids were extracted from residual biomass of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) by-products with EtOH and partitioned into aqueous and chloroform fractions. The chloroform fractions were studied for their lipid composition using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by UHPLC/HRMS and NMR analyses. The 1H NMR and gravimetric yield of SPE indicated triacylglycerols covered ≥ 51.3% of the chloroform fraction of hemp seed hulls and hemp cake. UHPLC/HRMS analyses of remaining polar lipids led to the identification of nine diacylglycerols (DAGs), six lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs), five lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPEs), eight phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), and thirteen phosphatidylcholines (PCs) for the first time from hemp seed hulls. The regiospecificity of fatty acyl substitutes in glycerol backbone of individual phospholipids were assigned by analyzing the diagnostic fragment ions and their intensities. The heat-map analysis suggested that DAG 18:2/18:2, 1-LPC 18:2, 1-LPE 18:2, PE 18:2/18:2, and PC 18:2/18:2 were the predominant molecules within their classes, supported by the fact that linoleic acid was the major fatty acid covering > 41.1% of the total fatty acids determined by GC-FID analysis. The 31P NMR analysis confirmed the identification of phospholipids and suggested PC covers ≥ 37.9% of the total phospholipid present in hemp by-products. HPLC purification led to the isolation of 1,2-dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine and 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoylphosphatidylcholine. These two major PCs further confirmed the UHPLC/HRMS finding.

Abstract
Castor bean (Ricinus communis) seed oil (triacylglycerol [TAG]) is composed of ∼90% of the industrially important ricinoleoyl (12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoyl) groups. Here, phosphatidylcholine (PC):diacylglycerol (DAG) cholinephosphotransferase (PDCT) from castor bean was biochemically characterized and compared with camelina (Camelina sativa) PDCT. DAGs with ricinoleoyl groups were poorly used by Camelina PDCT, and their presence inhibited the utilization of DAG with "common" acyl groups. In contrast, castor PDCT utilized DAG with ricinoleoyl groups similarly to DAG with common acyl groups and showed a 10-fold selectivity for DAG with one ricinoleoyl group over DAG with two ricinoleoyl groups. Castor DAG acyltransferase2 specificities and selectivities toward different DAG and acyl-CoA species were assessed and shown to not acylate DAG without ricinoleoyl groups in the presence of ricinoleoyl-containing DAG. Eighty-five percent of the DAG species in microsomal membranes prepared from developing castor endosperm lacked ricinoleoyl groups. Most of these species were predicted to be derived from PC, which had been formed by PDCT in exchange with DAG with one ricinoleoyl group. A scheme of the function of PDCT in castor endosperm is proposed where one ricinoleoyl group from de novo-synthesized DAG is selectivity transferred to PC. Nonricinoleate DAG is formed and ricinoleoyl groups entering PC are re-used either in de novo synthesis of DAG with two ricinoleoyl groups or in direct synthesis of triricinoleoyl TAG by PDAT. The PC-derived DAG is not used in TAG synthesis but is proposed to serve as a substrate in membrane lipid biosynthesis during oil deposition.

Abstract
It has been previously shown that the MRS sequence stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM; mixing time, TM = 20 ms) with an echo time (TE) of 100 ms resolves triglyceride glycerol resonances from that of water at 3 T. The purpose of this work is to determine if STEAM with a TE of 100 ms facilitates relative quantification of diglyceride/triglyceride levels at 3 T. Spectra were obtained from tricaprylin (triglyceride) and dicaprylin (diglyceride) with a range of STEAM TE values (TM = 20 ms). TE values that resulted in two resolved glycerol resonances for triglycerides (rendering them suitable for distinguishing triglyceride contributions from those of diglycerides) were selected. One resonance resides in the 3.85-4.2 ppm spectral range (overlapping the 1,3-diglyceride resonance) and the other in the 4.2-4.6 ppm spectral range (overlapping one of the 1,2-diglyceride resonances). STEAM with TE values of 40 ms and 100 ms (TM = 20 ms) yielded two resolvable triglyceride resonances (tricaprylin phantom), at about 4 ppm and 4.4 ppm. Direct integration of the resonances showed that the former peak has 0.86 and 0.17 times the area of the latter for TE = 40 ms and 100 ms, respectively. Spectra obtained from the phantoms containing mixtures of diglyceride (1,3-dicaprylin) and triglyceride (tricaprylin) were acquired. The triglyceride contribution to the 4 ppm glycerol resonance, a mixture of signal from 1,3-diglyceride and triglyceride, can be approximated from the area of the 4.4 ppm peak, resulting in an estimate of the 1,3-diglyceride contribution. Analysis was performed for STEAM TE = 40 ms and TE = 100 ms spectra acquired from phantoms with 1,3-dicaprylin/tricaprylin weight/weight contents of 2.5%/97.5%, 5%/95%, 10%/90% and 20%/80%. Concentration ratios of 1,3-dicaprylin/tricaprylin estimated with both STEAM TE values resulted in linear correlations with expected concentration ratios (R2 > 0.99).

Abstract
Branched fatty acid (FA) esters of hydroxy FAs (HFAs; FAHFAs) are recently discovered lipids that are conserved from yeast to mammals1,2. A subfamily, palmitic acid esters of hydroxy stearic acids (PAHSAs), are anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic1,3. Humans and mice with insulin resistance have lower PAHSA levels in subcutaneous adipose tissue and serum1. PAHSA administration improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and reduces inflammation in obesity, diabetes and immune-mediated diseases1,4-7. The enzyme(s) responsible for FAHFA biosynthesis in vivo remains unknown. Here we identified adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL, also known as patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 2 (PNPLA2)) as a candidate biosynthetic enzyme for FAHFAs using chemical biology and proteomics. We discovered that recombinant ATGL uses a transacylation reaction that esterifies an HFA with a FA from triglyceride (TG) or diglyceride to produce FAHFAs. Overexpression of wild-type, but not catalytically dead, ATGL increases FAHFA biosynthesis. Chemical inhibition of ATGL or genetic deletion of Atgl inhibits FAHFA biosynthesis and reduces the levels of FAHFA and FAHFA-TG. Levels of endogenous and nascent FAHFAs and FAHFA-TGs are 80-90 per cent lower in adipose tissue of mice in which Atgl is knocked out specifically in the adipose tissue. Increasing TG levels by upregulating diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) activity promotes FAHFA biosynthesis, and decreasing DGAT activity inhibits it, reinforcing TGs as FAHFA precursors. ATGL biosynthetic transacylase activity is present in human adipose tissue underscoring its potential clinical relevance. In summary, we discovered the first, to our knowledge, biosynthetic enzyme that catalyses the formation of the FAHFA ester bond in mammals. Whereas ATGL lipase activity is well known, our data establish a paradigm shift demonstrating that ATGL transacylase activity is biologically important.

Abstract
Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major component of plant storage lipids such as oils. Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step of the Kennedy pathway, and is mainly responsible for plant oil accumulation. We previously found that the activity of Vernonia DGAT1 was distinctively higher than that of Arabidopsis and soybean DGAT1 in a yeast microsome assay. In this study, the DGAT1 cDNAs of Arabidopsis, Vernonia, soybean, and castor bean were introduced into Arabidopsis. All Vernonia DGAT1-expressing lines showed a significantly higher oil content (49% mean increase compared with the wild-type) followed by soybean and castor bean. Most Arabidopsis DGAT1-overexpressing lines did not show a significant increase. In addition to these four DGAT1 genes, sunflower, Jatropha, and sesame DGAT1 genes were introduced into a TAG biosynthesis-defective yeast mutant. In the yeast expression culture, DGAT1s from Arabidopsis, castor bean, and soybean only slightly increased the TAG content; however, DGAT1s from Vernonia, sunflower, Jatropha, and sesame increased TAG content >10-fold more than the former three DGAT1s. Three amino acid residues were characteristically common in the latter four DGAT1s. Using soybean DGAT1, these amino acid substitutions were created by site-directed mutagenesis and substantially increased the TAG content.

Maternal urinary phthalate metabolites are associated with lipidomic signatures among pregnant women in Puerto Rico. J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 2022; 32:384-391.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phthalates have been reported to alter circulating lipid concentrations in animals, and investigation of these associations in humans will provide greater understanding of potential mechanisms for health outcomes. OBJECTIVE To explore associations between phthalate metabolite biomarkers and lipidomic profiles among pregnant women (n = 99) in the Puerto Rico PROTECT cohort. METHODS We measured 19 urinary phthalate metabolites during 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. Lipidomic profiles were identified from plasma samples by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based shotgun lipidomics. Relationships between phthalate metabolites and lipid profiles were estimated using compound-by-compound comparisons in multiple linear regression and dimension reduction techniques. We derived sums for each lipid class and sub-class (saturated, mono-unsaturated, polyunsaturated) which were then regressed on phthalate metabolites. Associations were adjusted for false discovery. RESULTS After controlling for multiple comparisons, 33 phthalate-lipid associations were identified (False discovery rate adjusted p value < 0.05), and diacylglycerol 40:7 and plasmenyl-phosphatidylcholine 35:1 were the most strongly associated with multiple phthalate metabolites. Metabolites of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, dibutyl phthalates, and diisobutyl phthalate were associated with increased ceramides, lysophosphatidylcholines, lysophosphatidylethanolamines, and triacylglycerols, particularly those containing saturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acid chains. SIGNIFICANCE Characterization of associations between lipidomic markers and phthalate metabolites during pregnancy will yield mechanistic insight for maternal and child health outcomes. IMPACT This study leverages emerging technology to evaluate lipidome-wide signatures of phthalate exposure during pregnancy. The greatest lipid signatures of phthalate exposure were observed for diacylglycerol 40:7 and plasmenyl-phosphatidylcholine 35:1. Polymerized glycerides are important for energy production and regulated through hormone signaling, while plasmenyl-phosphatidylcholines have been implicated in membrane dynamics and important for cell-to-cell signaling. Characterization of these mechanisms are relevant for informing the etiology of maternal and children's health outcomes.

Abstract
High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) show promising application in food and cosmetic industries. In this work, diacylglycerol (DAG) was applied to fabricate water-in-oil (W/O) HIPEs. DAG-based emulsion can hold 60% water and the emulsion rigidity increased with water content, indicating the water droplets acted as "active fillers". Stable HIPE with 80% water fraction was formed through the combination of 6 wt% DAG with 1 wt% polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR). The addition of 1 w% kappa (κ)-carrageenan and 0.5 M NaCl greatly reduced the droplet size and enhanced emulsion rigidity, and the interfacial tension of the internal phase was reduced. Benefiting from the Pickering crystals-stabilized interface by DAG as revealed by the microscopy and enhanced elastic modulus of emulsions with the gelation agents, the HIPEs demonstrated good retaining ability for anthocyanin and β-carotene. This study provides insights for the development of W/O HIPEs to fabricate low-calories margarines, spread or cosmetic creams.
