Observational Cohort

To assess the amino acid and fatty acid metabolite patterns between infants with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia in different nutritional stages after birth and identify metabolic indicators of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. This was an observational cohort of preterm infants born at a gestational age ≤32 + 6 weeks and with a body weight ≤2000 g. Amino acid and carnitine profiles were measured in dried blood spots (DBSs) during the early nutrition transitional phase using tandem mass spectrometry. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia was defined as oxygen dependence at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age or 28 days after birth. Metabolomic analysis was employed to define metabolites with significant differences, map significant metabolites into pathways, and identify metabolic indicators of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. We evaluated 45 neonates with and 40 without bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Four amino acids and three carnitines showed differences between the groups. Three carnitines (C0, C2, and C6:1) were high in the bronchopulmonary dysplasia group mostly; conversely, all four amino acids (threonine, arginine, methionine, and glutamine (Gln)) were low in the bronchopulmonary dysplasia group. Pathway analysis of these metabolites revealed two pathways with significant changes (p < 0.05). ROC analysis showed Gln/C6:1 at total parenteral nutrition phase had both 80% sensitivity and specificity for predicting the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, with an area under the curve of 0.81 (95% confidence interval 0.71–0.89). Amino acid and fatty acid metabolite profiles changed in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia after birth during the nutrition transitional period, suggesting that metabolic dysregulation may participate in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Our findings demonstrate that metabolic indicators are promising for forecasting the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia among preterm neonates.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are inherited disorders of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) metabolism. The defective digestion of GAGs within the intralysosomal compartment of affected patients leads to a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from cardiovascular disease to neurological impairment. The molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of the disease downstream of the genetic mutation of genes encoding for lysosomal enzymes still remain unclear. Here, we applied a targeted metabolomic approach to a mouse model of PS IIIB, using a platform dedicated to the diagnosis of inherited metabolic disorders, in order to identify amino acid and fatty acid metabolic pathway alterations or the manifestations of other metabolic phenotypes. Our analysis highlighted an increase in the levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs: Val, Ile, and Leu), aromatic amino acids (Tyr and Phe), free carnitine, and acylcarnitines in the liver and heart tissues of MPS IIIB mice as compared to the wild type (WT). Moreover, Ala, Met, Glu, Gly, Arg, Orn, and Cit amino acids were also found upregulated in the liver of MPS IIIB mice. These findings show a specific impairment of the BCAA and fatty acid catabolism in the heart of MPS IIIB mice. In the liver of affected mice, the glucose-alanine cycle and urea cycle resulted in being altered alongside a deregulation of the BCAA metabolism. Thus, our data demonstrate that an accumulation of BCAAs occurs secondary to lysosomal GAG storage, in both the liver and the heart of MPS IIIB mice. Since BCAAs regulate the biogenesis of lysosomes and autophagy mechanisms through mTOR signaling, impacting on lipid metabolism, this condition might contribute to the progression of the MPS IIIB disease.

Revealing the expression patterns of fatty acid and amino acid transporters as affected by dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio would be useful for further clarifying the importance of the balance between n-6 and n-3 PUFA. A total of ninety-six finishing pigs were fed one of four diets with the ratio of 1:1, 2·5:1, 5:1 and 10:1. Pigs fed the dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio of 5:1 had the highest (P< 0·05) daily weight gain, and those fed the dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio of 1:1 had the largest loin muscle area (P< 0·01). The concentration of n-3 PUFA was raised as the ratio declined (P< 0·05) in the longissimus dorsi and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The contents of tryptophan, tasty amino acids and branched-chain amino acids in the longissimus dorsi were enhanced in pigs fed the dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios of 1:1–5:1. The mRNA expression level of the fatty acid transporter fatty acid transport protein-1 (FATP-1) was declined (P< 0·05) in the longissimus dorsi of pigs fed the dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios of 1:1–5:1, and increased (P< 0·05) in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of pigs fed the dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios of 5:1 and 10:1. The expression profile of FATP-4 was similar to those of FATP-1 in the adipose tissue. The mRNA expression level of the amino acid transceptors LAT1 and SNAT2 was up-regulated (P< 0·05) in the longissimus dorsi of pigs fed the dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios of 1:1 and 2·5:1. In conclusion, maintaining the dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios of 1:1–5:1 would facilitate the absorption and utilisation of fatty acids and free amino acids, and result in improved muscle and adipose composition.

Uceng fish (Nemacheilus fasciatus) is a fish that lives wild on the river. All this time, the people have only relied on fishing from nature to consume, but the high market demand for fish will increase river fishing activities in excess. One of the steps to suppress the decline in fish populations is domestication because currently, the fish is not yet cultivated. The domestication process by feeding worms containing amino acids and fatty acids accelerates broodstock candidates' gonadal development. This research aims to determine the type of worms suitable as feed for the growth and gonadal development of broodstock candidates. The method that used in this research is Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 repetitions. Based on the analysis of amino acids and fatty acids in each type of worm, the best results were obtained on Lumbricus rubellus with an amino acid content of 50.91 gr/100gr and fatty acid 292.27%.

Background: Fermentation has been recognized as one of the oldest ways of food processing that increase food quality by increasing nutrient bio-availability through the reduction in anti-nutrient compositions. The present study evaluated the effects of fermentation on nutrients and anti-nutrients composition of jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) seed. Methods: The seed of Z. mauritiana was fermented for 24 hr. Standard analytical procedures were used to analyse the proximate, minerals, amino acid, fatty acid and anti-nutrient compositions of the seed sample at 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hr of fermentation. Results: The seed has high amounts of proteins, minerals, amino acids and low levels of anti-nutrients. The seed also has higher unsaturated than saturated fatty acids. Fermentation significantly increased the minerals compositions, decreases anti-nutrients and some amino acid levels but had no plausible effects (p>0.05) on proximate contents of the seed. Fermentation for 6 and 12 hr had no significant (p <0.05) effect on the fatty acids, however, at 18 and 24 hr a significant (p<0.05) reduction in fatty acid were recorded. On the basis of nutrient retention, the most plausible and positive effects of the fermentation on Z. mauritiana were observed at ≤ 12 of fermentation. Conclusion: Ziziphus mauritiana seed could be employed as an alternative source of nutrients for humans and animals. However, fermentation of Z. mauritiana should be done for a period of ≤ 12 hr if necessary

Fatty Acid Amide

The fatty acid amides are a family of lipids composed of two chemical moieties, a fatty acid and a biogenic amine linked together in an amide bond. This lipid family is structurally related to the endocannabinoid anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamine) and, thus, is frequently referred to as a family of endocannabinoid-related lipids. The fatty acid amide family is divided into different classes based on the conjugate amine; anandamide being a member of the N-acylethanolamine class (NAE). Another class within the fatty acid amide family is the N-acyl amino acids (NA-AAs). The focus of this review is a sub-class of the NA-AAs, the N-acyl aromatic amino acids (NA-ArAAs). The NA-ArAAs are not broadly recognized, even by those interested in the endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-related lipids. Herein, the NA-ArAAs that have been identified from a biological source will be highlighted and pathways for their biosynthesis, degradation, enzymatic modification, and transport will be presented. Also, information about the cellular functions of the NA-ArAAs will be placed in context with the data regarding the identification and metabolism of these N-acylated amino acids. A review of the current state-of-knowledge about the NA-ArAAs is to stimulate future research about this underappreciated sub-class of the fatty acid amide family.

We evaluated the effects of full-fat black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) on broiler carcass composition, cut yield, and breast meat quality. Broilers were fed for 42 days with up to 20% dietary inclusion of BSFL (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%). On day 42, 120 broilers were slaughtered, and images were taken using computed tomography. Breasts, drumsticks, and thighs were collected for cut yield determination. The pH, color, lipid oxidation, cooking loss, shear force, amino acid profile, and fatty acid profile of the breast meat were assessed. There was no dietary effect on carcass composition or meat quality parameters except for fatty and amino acids compositions. When 20% BSFL was included in the diet, individual fatty and amino acids, such as lauric and myristic acids, aspartic acid, glutamine, and lysine, increased by 22.0-, 5.50-, 1.08-, 1.06-, and 1.06-fold, respectively (p < 0.05). Although total polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased, eicosapentaenoic fatty acids (EPA) increased by 78% in the 20% BSFL inclusion group. In conclusion, up to 20%, dietary full-fat BSFL did not affect key meat characteristics but positively increased the levels of the health-claimable omega-3 fatty acid EPA.
