Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1494: Lipidomic Analysis of Liver and Adipose Tissue in a High-Fat Diet-Induced Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Mice Model Reveals Alterations in Lipid Metabolism by Weight Loss and Aerobic Exercise Molecules doi: 10.3390/molecules29071494 Authors: Thomai Mouskeftara Olga Deda Grigorios Papadopoulos Antonios Chatzigeorgiou Helen Gika Detailed investigation of the lipidome remodeling upon normal weight conditions, obesity, or weight loss, as well as the influence of physical activity, can help to understand the mechanisms underlying dyslipidemia in metabolic conditions correlated to the emergence and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). C57BL/6 male mice were fed a normal diet (ND) or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks. Subgroups within the high-fat diet (HFD) group underwent different interventions: some engaged in exercise (HFDex), others were subjected to weight loss (WL) by changing from the HFD to ND, and some underwent a combination of weight loss and exercise (WLex) during the final 8 weeks of the 20-week feeding period. To support our understanding, not only tissue-specific lipid remodeling mechanisms but also the cross-talk between different tissues and their impact on the systemic regulation of lipid metabolism are essential. Exercise and weight loss-induced specific adaptations in the liver and visceral adipose tissue lipidomes of mice were explored by the UPLC–TOF–MS/MS unt...
