Large quantities of circulating NEFA may alter the serum FA profile of phospholipids （PL） fraction, which is responsible for cellular plasma membrane integrity and intercellular signaling. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of subcutaneous fat stores, as assessed by body condition score （BCS） on a scale of one to five, around the time of calving and the subsequent lipomobilization on FA profile of serum NEFA and PL lipid fractions, and on productive performance. Based on BCS, cows were retrospectively dichotomized into two groups： over-conditioned （BCS _〉 3.25） and control （BCS _〈 3.0）. 22 cows had serum samples obtained at -28, -7, 8, 18 and 28 d relative to parturition and analyzed for the FA profile of the NEFA and PL fractions. As expected, over-conditioned cows had greater total plasma NEFA concentrations and decreased dry matter intake. Milk yield and composition did not differ between groups. More importantly however, several FA in the NEFA fraction of plasma lipids varied significantly, including C14：1, C16：0, C18：0 and C20：3n3. In the PL fraction, other FA varied significantly by BCS around time of parturition, including C16：0, C17：0, total C18：2 cis, and C20：2. In summary, BCS did affect FA profile of serum NEFA and PL lipid fractions. This may have drastic consequences for circulating immune cells and their ability to fight infection by altering their FA profile.展开更多

The 100 ℃, 4 h was normally cooking condition for commercial business. However, the pressure cooker with higher cooking temperature （106 ℃, 116 ℃ and 121 ℃） and different cooking time were under studied in order to improving efficiency, quality and even cost down. The samples of neck pork substitute, cooking at 106℃, 100 rain; 116℃, 75 min; 121 ℃, 45 min with different pressure were perfomed the result as well as traditional 20% fat in ordinary formulation and cooking at 100℃ for 4 h. During storage, the products were taste acceptable for 4 weeks at 4 ℃, 4 months at - 18 ℃ and better than 1 day at 25 ℃ storage.展开更多

BAT contains multilocular lipid droplets and much higher numbers of mitochondria than WAT. The mitochondria in BAT uncouple large amounts of fuel oxidation from ATP for heat generation. Accumulating evidences have demonstrated that increased activity and/or amount of BAT can reverse obesity and improve insulin resistance, which highlights that BAT plays an important role in energy metabolism. In this review, we summarized recent findings that shows advantageous effects of BAT activation in metabolic diseases. In addition, we presented the function and role of brown and beige fat cells and regulatory factors for them. Finally, we discussed the potential application of brown adipocytes-based therapy and pharmacological intervention to increase BAT activity for the treatment of obesity and related diseases including insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.展开更多

Insufficient adipose lipid storage is asso- ciated with many pathological conditions including hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we observed the overexpression of SUMO-specific protease 2 （Senp2） in adipose tissues during obesity. Adipocyte 5enp2 deficiency resulted in less adipose lipid storage accompanied by an ectopic fat accumulation and insulin resistance under high-fat diet feeding. We further found that SET domain bifurcated 1 （Setdbl） was a SUMOylated protein and that SUMOylation promoted Setdbl occupancy on the promoter locus of Pparg and Cebpa genes to suppress their expressions by H3Kgme3. Senp2 could suppress Setdbl function by de-SUMOylation. In adipocyte 5enp2-deficiency mice, accumulation of the SUMOylated Setdbl suppressed the expression of Pparg and Cebpo genes as welt as lipid metabolism-related target genes, which would decrease the ability of lipid storage in adipocytes. These results revealed the crucial role of Senp2-Setdbl axis in controlling adipose lipid storage.展开更多
