Human adipocyte extracellular vesicles in reciprocal signaling between adipocytes and macrophages
OBJECTIVE:
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by human adipocytes or adipose tissue (AT)-explants play a role in the paracrine interaction between adipocytes and macrophages, a key mechanism in AT inflammation, leading to metabolic complications like insulin resistance (IR) were determined.
Supplementation with a powdered blend of PUFAs normalizes DHA and AA levels in patients with PKU
Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) have a poor LC-PUFA status and require supplementation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the LC-PUFA status of PKU patients supplemented with fish oil or the fatty acid supplement KeyOmega.

Differences between acylcarnitine profiles in plasma and bloodspots
Quantification of acylcarnitines is used for screening and diagnosis of inborn error of metabolism (IEM). While newborn screening is performed in dried blood spots (DBSs), general metabolic investigation is often performed in plasma. Information on the correlation between plasma and DBS acylcarnitine profiles is scarce.
Toxicity and intracellular accumulation of bile acids in sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes: Role of glycine conjugates
Excessive intrahepatic accumulation of bile acids (BAs) is a key mechanism underlying cholestasis. The aim of this study was to quantitatively explore the relationship between cytotoxicity of BAs and their intracellular accumulation in sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes (SCRH).
