Effect of rhGH treatment on lipidome and brown fat activity in prepuberal small for gestational age children: a pilot study by Lorena González, Carolina Gonzalez-Riano, Pablo Fernández-García, Rubén Cereijo, Aina Valls, Andrea Soria-Gondek, Nativitat Real, Belén Requena, Joan Bel-Comos, Patricia Corrales, David Jiménez-Pavón, Coral Barbas, Francesc Villarroya, David Sánchez-Infantes, Marta Murillo

“…Serum lipidomic analysis revealed that free fatty acids (FFAs) increased to levels close to those of the AGA group after three months of rhGH administration, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, correlating with reduced leptin levels. Elevated levels of 1a,1b-dihomo-PGJ2 and adrenic acid suggested potential aging markers. rhGH treatment also significantly reduced meteorin-like (METRNL) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) serum levels to control levels. rhGH influences the serum lipidome, promoting changes in maturation and metabolism. …”

Effects of Astrocaryum aculeatum Meyer (Tucumã) on Diet-Induced Dyslipidemic Rats by Geórgia Craveiro Holanda Malveira Maia, Mozer da Silva Campos, Janice Barros-Monteiro, Juan Eduardo Lucas Castillo, Murilo Soares Faleiros, Rejane Souza de Aquino Sales, Denise Moraes Lopes Galeno, Edson Lira, Francisca das Chagas do Amaral Souza, Carmen Ortiz, Luisa Morales, Rosany Piccolotto Carvalho

“…Plasma was analyzed for cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL, total protein, glucose, insulin, and leptin concentrations. Our results show that the ECG group tended to consume more food, while the groups that were fed with tucumã pulp (STG and ETG) presented a greater tendency to gain body mass. …”

Visceral adipose tissue area and proportion provide distinct reflections of cardiometabolic outcomes in weight loss; pooled analysis of MRI-assessed CENTRAL and DIRECT PLUS dietary... by Hadar Klein, Hila Zelicha, Anat Yaskolka Meir, Ehud Rinott, Gal Tsaban, Alon Kaplan, Yoash Chassidim, Yftach Gepner, Matthias Blüher, Uta Ceglarek, Berend Isermann, Michael Stumvoll, Ilan Shelef, Lu Qi, Jun Li, Frank B. Hu, Meir J. Stampfer, Iris Shai

“…Only VATcm2 loss was correlated with decreased HOMA-IR, chemerin, and leptin levels. Conclusions MRI follow-up of 572 participants over 18 months of weight loss intervention suggests that although increased VATcm2 and VAT% exhibit similar clinical manifestations, it might be preferable to examine VAT% when exploring lipid status, while VATcm2 may better reflect inflammatory and glycemic states. …”
