Abstract
Liposomes are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as drug delivery systems to increase the efficacy and reduce the off-target toxicity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The liposomes are more complex drug delivery systems than the traditional dosage forms, and phospholipids and cholesterol are the major structural excipients. These two excipients undergo hydrolysis and/or oxidation during liposome preparation and storage, resulting in lipids hydrolyzed products (LHPs) and cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) in the final liposomal formulations. These excipient-related impurities at elevated concentrations may affect liposome stability and exert biological functions. This review focuses on LHPs and COPs, two major categories of excipient-related impurities in the liposomal formulations, and discusses factors affecting their formation, and analytical methods to determine these excipient-related impurities.

The omega-3 postbiotic trans-10- cis-15-octadecadienoic acid attenuates contact hypersensitivity in mice through downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor A. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2024; 14:1355679.

Abstract
Intestinal bacteria metabolize dietary substances to produce bioactive postbiotics, among which some are recognized for their role in promoting host health. We here explored the postbiotic potential of two omega-3 α-linolenic acid-derived metabolites: trans-10-cis-15-octadecadienoic acid (t10,c15-18:2) and cis-9-cis-15-octadecadienoic acid (c9,c15-18:2). Dietary intake of lipids rich in omega-3 α-linolenic acid elevated levels of t10,c15-18:2 and c9,c15-18:2 in the serum and feces of mice, an effect dependent on the presence of intestinal bacteria. Notably, t10,c15-18:2 mitigated skin inflammation in mice that became hypersensitive after exposure to 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, an experimental model for allergic contact dermatitis. In particular, t10,c15-18:2-but not c9,c15-18:2-attenuated ear swelling and edema, characteristic symptoms of contact hypersensitivity. The anti-inflammatory effects of t10,c15-18:2 were due to its ability to suppress the release of vascular endothelial growth factor A from keratinocytes, thereby mitigating the enhanced vascular permeability induced by hapten stimulation. Our study identified retinoid X receptor as a functional receptor that mediates the downregulation of skin inflammation upon treatment with t10,c15-18:2. Our results suggest that t10,c15-18:2 holds promise as an omega-3 fatty acid-derived postbiotic with potential therapeutic implications for alleviating the skin edema seen in allergic contact dermatitis-induced inflammation.

Abstract
Alkenones are unique lipids produced by certain species of microalgae, well-known for use in paleoclimatology, and more recently pursued to advance sustainability across multiple industries. Beginning in 2018, the biosynthesis of alkenones by commercially grown Tisochrysis lutea (T-Iso) microalgae from one of the world's most established producers, Necton S.A., changed dramatically from structures containing 37 and 38 carbons, to unusual shorter-chain C35 and C36 diunsaturated alkenones (C35:2 and C36:2 alkenones). While the exact reasons for this change remain unknown, analysis of alkenones isolated from T-Iso grown in 2021 and 2023 revealed that this change has persisted. The structure of these rare shorter-chain alkenones, including double bond position, produced by Necton T-Iso remained the same over the last five years, which was determined using a new and optimized cross-metathesis derivatization approach with analysis by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography and NMR. However, noticeable differences in the alkenone profiles among the different batches were observed. Combined with fatty acid compositional analysis, the data suggest a connection between these lipid classes (e.g., increased DHA corresponds to lower amounts of shorter-chain alkenones) and the ability to manipulate their biosynthesis in T-Iso with changes to cultivation conditions.

Abstract
Due to the inherent environmental footprint of petroleum derived transformer fluids, the power industry is gradually exploring the potential of vegetable oils as alternatives. The impetus comes mostly from vegetable oils renewability and their inherent biodegradability. However, the major drawback in the use of vegetable oils as dielectric fluids is their lower oxidative stability and higher kinematic viscosity compared to mineral oils. The results obtained clearly demonstrate the correlation between spectroscopic data induction time, kinematic viscosity, acid value, and peroxide value. Quantitatively, the absorption frequencies of functional groups in vegetable oil transformer fluids that can be correlated to the mentioned quality parameters show noticeable changes with aging/oxidative degradation. The study also demonstrates the utility of integrating spectroscopic data to understand trends in induction time and kinematic viscosity of oil samples heated under transformer service conditions.

Abstract
Elevated plasma concentrations of saturated free fatty acids (SFAs) are involved in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis, referred to as lipotoxicity. However, in contrast to apoptosis, the involvement of ferroptosis, as a distinct type of oxidative regulated cell death in β-cell lipotoxicity remains elusive. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of various free fatty acids on ferroptosis induction in rat insulin-producing β-cells. Herein, rat insulin-producing β-cells underwent lipid peroxidation in the presence of long-chain SFAs and ω-6-polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), but only the latter induced ferroptosis. On the other hand, ω-3-polyunsaturated fatty acid α-linolenate did not induce ferroptosis but sensitized insulin-producing β-cells to SFA-mediated lipid peroxidation. While the monounsaturated fatty acid oleate, overexpression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), and the specific ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 significantly abrogated lipid peroxidation, neither GPx4 nor ferrostatin-1 affected palmitate-mediated toxicity. Site-specific expression of catalase in cytosol, mitochondria, and ER attenuated lipid peroxidation, indicating the contribution of metabolically generated H2O2 from all three subcellular compartments. These observations suggest that only ω-6-PUFAs reach the thresholds of lipid peroxidation required for ferroptosis, whereas SFAs favour apoptosis in β-cells. Hence, avoiding an excessive dietary intake of ω-6-PUFAs might be a crucial prerequisite for prevention of reactive oxygen species-mediated ferroptosis in insulin-producing cells.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are widespread and naturally occurring compounds, and essential constituents for living organisms. They are quite often reported when biological systems are studied and their role is discussed. However surprisingly, up till now there is no database collecting vibrational spectra of carbohydrates and their assignment, as has been done already for other biomolecules. So, this paper serves as a comprehensive review, where for selected 14 carbohydrates in the solid state both FT-Raman and ATR FT-IR spectra were collected and assigned. Carbohydrates can be divided into four chemical groups and in the same way is organized this review. First, the smallest molecules are discussed, i.e. monosaccharides (d-(-)-ribose, 2-deoxy-d-ribose, l-(-)-arabinose, d-(+)-xylose, d-(+)-glucose, d-(+)-galactose and d-(-)-fructose) and disaccharides (d-(+)-sucrose, d-(+)-maltose and d-(+)-lactose), and then more complex ones, i.e. trisaccharides (d-(+)-raffinose) and polysaccharides (amylopectin, amylose, glycogen). Both Raman and IR spectra were collected in the whole spectral range and discussed looking at the specific regions, i.e. region V (3600-3050cm-1), IV (3050-2800cm-1) and II (1200-800cm-1) assigned to the stretching vibrations of the OH, CH/CH2 and C-O/C-C groups, respectively, and region III (1500-1200cm-1) and I (800-100cm-1) dominated by deformational modes of the CH/CH2 and CCO groups, respectively. In spite of the fact that vibrational spectra of saccharides are significantly less specific than spectra of other biomolecules (e.g. lipids or proteins), marker bands of the studied molecules can be identified and correlated with their structure.

Abstract
Overly high intake of saturated fat is an international problem contributing to global health issues. Low-moisture snacks account for a nutritionally significant proportion of the saturated fat in the diet, making these foods a key target for improving consumers' health. However, it is not currently feasible to maintain the same oxidative shelf life when replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats, which are generally perceived to be more heart-healthy. This article summarizes current theories and available research on lipid oxidation in low-moisture foods in order to lay the groundwork for new lipid oxidation rate-reduction strategies. Research deficits needing attention and new methods for assessing lipid oxidation in low-moisture foods are also discussed.

Abstract
Epidemiologic evidence has linked trans fatty acids (TFAs) in the diet to coronary heart disease in human populations. It has been estimated that dietary TFAs from partially hydrogenated oils may be responsible for between 30,000 and 100,000 premature coronary deaths per year in the United States. Although it is known that TFAs increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and decrease high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels (markers of coronary heart disease), there is little known about the mechanisms by which TFAs actually function at the cellular level. It is unknown what levels of TFAs are clinically significant and it is unclear how TFAs are associated with cardiac arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. We hypothesize that TFAs affect membrane structure, thus altering enzymatic pathways that may subsequently induce cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death.

Abstract
Isoprenoid alcohols are common constituents of living cells. They are usually assigned a role in the adaptation of the cell to environmental stimuli, and this process might give rise to their oxidation by reactive oxygen species. Moreover, cellular isoprenoids may also undergo various chemical modifications resulting from the physico-chemical treatment of the tissues, e.g., heating during food processing. Susceptibility of isoprenoid alcohols to heat treatment has not been studied in detail so far. In this study, isoprenoid alcohols differing in the number of isoprene units and geometry of the double bonds, β-citronellol, geraniol, nerol, farnesol, solanesol and Pren-9, were subjected to thermo-oxidation at 80 °C. Thermo-oxidation resulted in the decomposition of the tested short-chain isoprenoids as well as medium-chain polyprenols with simultaneous formation of oxidized derivatives, such as hydroperoxides, monoepoxides, diepoxides and aldehydes, and possible formation of oligomeric derivatives. Oxidation products were monitored by GC-FID, GC-MS, ESI-MS and spectrophotometric methods. Interestingly, nerol, a short-chain isoprenoid with a double bond in the cis (Z) configuration, was more oxidatively stable than its trans (E) isomer, geraniol. However, the opposite effect was observed for medium-chain polyprenols, since Pren-9 (di-trans-poly-cis-prenol) was more susceptible to thermo-oxidation than its all-trans isomer, solanesol. Taken together, these results experimentally confirm that both short- and long-chain polyisoprenoid alcohols are prone to thermo-oxidation.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the effect of feeding Partially hydrogenated vegetable fat (PHVF) on carrageenan induced paw inflammation and oxidative stress markers in liver of rats. In addition, the effect of feeding rats with Linseed Oil (LSO, α-linolenic acid, n-3 PUFA) or PHVF blended with incremental amounts of LSO on these markers were also monitored. Rats weighing 200 g were given 1 mL of different oils (PHVF, Groundnut Oil; GNO, Olive Oil; OO and LSO) per day for 15 days. Rats given PHVF showed higher levels of paw inflammation in response to carrageenan injection. Rats given LSO showed least amounts of paw inflammation when injected with carrageenan. A second set of experiment was conducted by feeding weaning rats with AIN-93 purified diet supplemented with PHVF or PHVF with incremental amounts of LSO for 60 days. The rats fed PHVF showed higher degree of carrageenan induced inflammation as compared to rats given GNO and LSO. However, the rats fed PHVF showed lower levels of lipid peroxides, protein carbonyls, 8-hydroxy guanine and antioxidant enzyme activities in liver homogenate as compared to those given LSO. In conclusion dietary PHVF rendered the rats prone to higher levels of carrageenan induced inflammation which can be reduced by giving PHVF blended with LSO. However, oxidative stress markers found to be higher levels in rats given LSO or PHVF blended with LSO as compared to rats given PHVF as sole source of fat.

Abstract
Rates of metabolic diseases have increased at an astounding rate in recent decades. Even though poor diet and physical inactivity are central drivers, these lifestyle changes alone fail to fully account for the magnitude and rapidity of the epidemic. Thus, attention has turned to identifying novel risk factors, including the contribution of environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals. Epidemiologic and preclinical data support a role for various contaminants in the pathogenesis of diabetes. In addition to the vascular risk associated with dysglycemia, emerging evidence implicates multiple pollutants in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Reviewed herein are studies linking endocrine disruptors to these key diseases that drive significant individual and societal morbidity and mortality. Identifying chemicals associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease as well as their mechanisms of action is critical for developing novel treatment strategies and public policy to mitigate the impact of these diseases on human health.

Abstract
This paper discloses for the first time the effects of the gas phase (GP) and the tar of cigarette smoke on lipid peroxidation (LPO) and on the structure of different lipid regions in liposomes. The LPO development was analysed in terms of the total unsaturation of lipids (double-bond, DB, content) and the formation of dienic conjugates (DC), ketodienes (KD), and malonic dialdehyde (MDA). As expected, the exposure of liposomes to either the GP or the tar led to a significant decrease in the DB content. However, the formation of oxidation products revealed different dynamics: MDA generation was inhibited, while the formation of DC and KD increased during the first few hours of the LPO development followed by its inhibition. The smoke constituents exhibited opposite effects on the structure of the lipid bilayer of liposomes: the GP markedly enhanced the microviscosity of liposomal membranes, whereas the tar caused a drastic lowering of microviscosity.

Abstract
We previously reported that the all-cis isomer of arachidonic acid, the most naturally occurring isoform of this fatty acid, reduced cuprous copper ion-induced conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase into its reactive oxygen species generating form, xanthine oxidase. In the present study, the effects of all-trans isomer of arachidonic acid, in comparison with cis isomer of arachidonic acid, on the xanthine dehydrogenase/xanthine oxidase interconversion were explored. cis isomer of arachidonic acid alone did not have any significant effect on the activities of xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase, but it inhibited the cuprous copper ion-induced conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase in rat liver cytosol in vitro. In contrast, trans isomer of arachidonic acid elicited an increase in xanthine oxidase activity concomitant with a decrease in xanthine dehydrogenase activity, and further potentiated the cuprous copper ion-induced xanthine dehydrogenase/xanthine oxidase interconversion. In primary rat hepatocyte cultures, trans isomer of arachidonic acid increased 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein-fluorescence intensity in the cytosolic fraction from 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein, an indicator of reactive oxygen species generation. The pretreatment of allopurinol, an xanthine oxidase inhibitor, diminished the trans isomer of arachidonic acid-induced increase in the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein-fluorescence intensity, indicating the role of xanthine dehydrogenase/xanthine oxidase in mediating trans isomer of arachidonic acid-induced reactive oxygen species generation. These observations suggest that, in contrast to all-cis arachidonic acid, all-trans arachidonic acid has the potential to enhance reactive oxygen species generation via xanthine dehydrogenase/xanthine oxidase interconversion in the liver cytosol in vitro.

Abstract
Melatonin and its structural analogues display antioxidant activity in vivo but their activity in model membranes is not very well known. In this study, we have investigated the antioxidant capacity of melatonin and structural analogues on Fe(2+)-initiated peroxidation of sonicated liposomes made of retinal lipids. The indoleamines were evaluated against butylated hydroxitoluene (BHT) which was chosen as a reference standard because of its high antioxidant capacity. After the addition of Fe(2+) as initiator of lipid peroxidation, quick production of conjugated dienes was observed. With addition of increasing concentrations of BHT the start of the reaction was delayed and initial reaction rates were lower. However, this reduction was not proportional to the increase in concentration. The start of the reaction and initial reaction rates were not modified in the presence of melatonin and its structural analogues. The formation of TBARS started immediately after the addition of Fe(2+). The increase in the concentration of BHT avoided the emergence of TBARS. Changes were not observed in the presence of melatonin or structural analogues. Retinal lipids showed a high content of docosahexaenoic (22: 6 (Δ4,7,10,13,16,19) acid, characteristic of this tissue. A little bit of that fatty acid was lost when sonicated liposomes were prepared with these retinal lipids. The polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) diminished significantly after incubation of liposomes with Fe(2+) during 1h. BHT preserved PUFAs whereas melatonin and its related indoleamines did not. These data reinforce the hypothesis that melatonin and structural analogues do not possess antioxidant properties per se in this liposomal model system.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are known to exert several isomer-specific biological effects, but their mechanisms of action are unclear. In order to determine whether the physicochemical effects of CLA on membranes play a role in their isomer-specific effects, we synthesized phosphatidylcholines (PCs) with 16:0 at sn-1 position and one of four CLA isomers (trans 10 cis 12 (A), trans 9 trans 11 (B), cis 9 trans 11 (C), and cis 9 cis 11 (D)) at sn-2, and determined their biophysical properties in monolayers and bilayers. The surface areas of the PCs with the two natural CLA (A and C) were similar at all pressures, but they differed significantly in the presence of cholesterol, with PC-A condensing more than PC-C. Liposomes of PC-A similarly showed increased binding of cholesterol compared to PC-C liposomes. PC-A liposomes were less permeable to carboxyfluorescein compared to PC-C liposomes. The PC with two trans double bonds (B) showed the highest affinity to cholesterol and lowest permeability. The two natural CLA-PCs (A and C) stimulated lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase activity by 2-fold, whereas the unnatural CLA-PCs (B and D) were inhibitory. These results suggest that the differences in the biophysical properties of CLA isomers A and C may partly contribute to the known differences in their biological effects.

Abstract
Free radical oxidation of several 1,4-dienes was carried out in the presence of variable concentrations of alpha-tocopherol to investigate the effect of diene structure on product distribution. Oxidations carried out at low tocopherol concentration gave only C-1 and C-5 conjugated diene hydroperoxides, while higher concentrations of the antioxidant resulted in formation of substantial amounts of the nonconjugated C-3 diene hydroperoxide. Increasing size of the substituents at C-1 and C-5 of the diene favors kinetic products arising from oxygen addition at the nonconjugated position, C-3, of the pentadienyl radical intermediate. Substituents at C-1 or C-5 of the pentadienyl radical also have a significant effect on the regioselectivity of the conjugated diene hydroperoxides formed, larger substituents directing oxygen addition to the pentadienyl radical at the site of least steric hindrance. This trend is also observed in oxidations of omega-3 and omega-6 linolenate fatty acid esters. Groups at C-1 and C-5 of the diene can influence product distribution based upon (a) steric demand in the oxygen-radical reaction and (b) the influence of substituents on the rearrangement of the C-3 peroxyl radical to give conjugated diene products.

Abstract
Retina is highly susceptible to oxidative damage due to its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), mainly docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n3). Lipid peroxidation process is thought to be involved in many physiological and pathological events. Many model membranes can be used to learn more about issues that cannot be studied in biological membranes. Sonicated liposomes (SL) and non-sonicated liposomes (NSL) prepared with lipids isolated from bovine retina and characterized by dynamic light-scattering, were submitted to lipid peroxidation, under air atmosphere at 22 degrees C, with Fe(2+) or Fe(3+) as initiator, in different aqueous media. Conjugated dienes and trienes, determined by absorption at 234 and 270 nm respectively, and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances were measured as a function of time. Peroxidation of SL or NSL initiated with 25 microM FeSO(4) in 20mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 resulted in an increase in TBARS production after a lag phase of 60 min. Incubation of both types of liposomes in water resulted in shortening of the lag phase at 30 min. When lipid peroxidation was performed in 0.15M NaCl, lag phase completely disappeared. On the other hand, FeCl(3) (25 microM) induced a limited production of TBARS only just after 30 min of incubation. When Fe(2+)- or Fe(3+)-lipid peroxidation of both types of liposomes was carried out in water or 0.15M NaCl, formation of conjugated dienes and conjugated trienes were higher than in reactions carried out in 20mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4. Our results established that both liposome types were susceptible to Fe(2+)- and Fe(3+)-initiated lipid peroxidation. However, Fe(2+) showed a clearly enhanced effect on peroxidation rate and steady state concentration of oxidation products. We verified that peroxidation of liposomes made of retinal lipids is affected not only by type of initiator but also by aqueous media. This model constitutes a useful system to study formation of lipid peroxidation intermediaries and products in an aqueous environment.

Abstract
We previously showed that sphingomyelin (SM) inhibits peroxidation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and cholesterol. Since SM uniquely has a trans unsaturation in its sphingosine base, we investigated whether this feature is important for its antioxidant function. Substitution of the natural trans Delta(4)-double bond with a cis double bond (cis-SM), however, increased SM's ability to inhibit Cu(2+)-mediated 16:0-18:2 PC oxidation by up to eightfold. Dihydro-SM, which lacks the double bond, was equally effective as trans-SM. In contrast to its effect in the sphingosine base, the presence of a cis double bond in the N-acyl group of trans-SM was not protective. cis-SM also inhibited the oxidation of cholesterol by FeSO_(4)/ascorbate more efficiently than the trans isomer. The enhanced protective effect of cis-SM is selective for metal ion-promoted oxidation, and appears to arise from a decrease in the effective concentration of metal ions. These studies show that the trans double bond of SM is not essential for its antioxidant effects.

Abstract
Free radicals, formed via different mechanisms, induce peroxidation of membrane lipids. This process is of great importance because it modifies the physical properties of the membranes, including its permeability to different solutes and the packing of lipids and proteins in the membranes, which in turn, influences the membranes' function. Accordingly, much research effort has been devoted to the understanding of the factors that govern peroxidation, including the composition and properties of the membranes and the inducer of peroxidation. In view of the complexity of biological membranes, much work was devoted to the latter issues in simplified model systems, mostly lipid vesicles (liposomes). Although peroxidation in model membranes may be very different from peroxidation in biological membranes, the results obtained in model membranes may be used to advance our understanding of issues that cannot be studied in biological membranes. Nonetheless, in spite of the relative simplicity of peroxidation of liposomal lipids, these reactions are still quite complex because they depend in a complex fashion on both the inducer of peroxidation and the composition and physical properties of the liposomes. This complexity is the most likely cause of the apparent contradictions of literature results. The main conclusion of this review is that most, if not all, of the published results (sometimes apparently contradictory) on the peroxidation of liposomal lipids can be understood on the basis of the physico-chemical properties of the liposomes. Specifically: (1) The kinetics of peroxidation induced by an "external" generator of free radicals (e.g. AAPH) is governed by the balance between the effects of membrane properties on the rate constants of propagation (k (p)) and termination (k (t)) of the free radical peroxidation in the relevant membrane domains, i.e. in those domains in which the oxidizable lipids reside. Both these rate constants depend similarly on the packing of lipids in the bilayer, but influence the overall rate in opposite directions. (2) Peroxidation induced by transition metal ions depends on additional factors, including the binding of metal ions to the lipid-water interface and the formation of a metal ions-hydroperoxide complex at the surface. (3) Reducing agents, commonly regarded as "antioxidants", may either promote or inhibit peroxidation, depending on the membrane composition, the inducer of oxidation and the membrane/water partitioning. All the published data can be explained in terms of these (quite complex) generalizations. More detailed analysis requires additional experimental investigations.

Abstract
Although the free radical-mediated oxidation of free cholesterol (FC) is critical in the generation of regulatory sterols and in atherogenesis, the physiological regulation of this process is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that sphingomyelin (SM), a major phospholipid of cell membranes, which is closely associated with FC, protects FC against oxidation, because of its unique structure, and affinity to the sterol. We employed phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes containing varying amounts of SM, and either radioactive FC or a fluorescent analog, dehydroergosterol (DHE), and determined the oxidative decay of the sterol in presence of 2,2'-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH). Incorporation of 25 mol% of SM in the liposomes inhibited the oxidation of FC or DHE by up to 50%. This inhibition was specific for SM among phospholipids, and was abolished by sphingomyelinase treatment. SM was not degraded during the oxidation reaction, and its effect was not dependent on the nature of the oxidizing agent, because it also inhibited sterol oxidation by FeSO(4)/ascorbate, and by cholesterol oxidase. These studies show that SM plays a physiological role in the regulation of cholesterol oxidation by free radicals.

Abstract
Trans isomers of unsaturated fatty acids are absorbed from the diet, due to their presence in diary fat and hydrogenated vegetable oils, and health concern has risen due to their effects on lipid risk factors in cardiovascular diseases. On the basis of the efficiency of the thiyl-radical-catalyzed cis/trans isomerization in vitro and the presence of many sulfur-containing compounds in the cell, the aim of this study was to demonstrate that trans geometry of lipid double bonds can be endogenously generated within membrane phospholipids. The study reports trans fatty acids occurrence in tissue and erythrocyte phospholipids of young adult rats fed a diet completely free of trans isomers. Results show that tissues are differently prone to the endogenous isomerization and that, following a free radical attack, trans fatty acids can reach very high amounts. The effectiveness of this process is considerably inhibited in the presence of all-trans retinol, confirming previous data in model membranes. Our results suggest that geometrical isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids, which causes a structural modification of membrane lipids and may influence basic membrane properties and vital biochemical functions, can occur under radical stress conditions and could be efficiently prevented by vitamin A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interest in the development of dairy products naturally enriched in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) exists. However, feeding regimens that enhance the CLA content of milk also increase concentrations of trans-18:1 fatty acids. The implications for human health are not yet known. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effects of consuming dairy products naturally enriched in cis-9,trans-11 CLA (and trans-11 18:1) on the blood lipid profile, the atherogenicity of LDL, and markers of inflammation and insulin resistance in healthy middle-aged men. DESIGN Healthy middle-aged men (n = 32) consumed ultra-heat-treated milk, butter, and cheese that provided 0.151 g/d (control) or 1.421 g/d (modified) cis-9,trans-11 CLA for 6 wk. This was followed by a 7-wk washout and a crossover to the other treatment. RESULTS Consumption of dairy products enriched with cis-9,trans-11 CLA and trans-11 18:1 did not significantly affect body weight, inflammatory markers, insulin, glucose, triacylglycerols, or total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol but resulted in a small increase in the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol. The modified dairy products changed LDL fatty acid composition but had no significant effect on LDL particle size or the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation. Overall, increased consumption of full-fat dairy products and naturally derived trans fatty acids did not cause significant changes in cardiovascular disease risk variables, as may be expected on the basis of current health recommendations. CONCLUSION Dairy products naturally enriched with cis-9,trans-11 CLA and trans-11 18:1 do not appear to have a significant effect on the blood lipid profile.

Abstract
Glycerophosphatidylcholine containing trans-unsaturated fatty acid residues was prepared by reaction of the corresponding naturally occurring cis lipid with photochemically generated thiyl radicals. This modified lipid was chosen as the simplest model for gaining some insights of the complex scenario of membrane formation, in connection with the role of lipid geometry and the predominance of cis lipids in eukaryotic cells. The critical aggregation concentration for the spontaneous formation of vesicles was determined for cis and trans isomers with cis-parinaric acid used as a fluorescent probe and it was found to be similar for both lipids. Vesicle dimensions were investigated by light scattering and electron microscopy, and the type of fatty acid residues influenced the vesicle diameter, with a decrease along the series cis > trans > saturated. Fluorescence measurement of dye release from trans and cis vesicles showed also a different permeability. A picture emerged of the geometrical isomer preference in cells as a process driven by natural selection during the life evolution of different organisms, both in terms of compartment dimensions and membrane functionality.

Abstract
Dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG) containing unsaturated sites is the target of oxidation during preparation, storage, or in vivo use of anionic liposomes. We investigated the biological effect of air oxidation of DOPG on RAW 264.7 murine macrophage-like cells. Oxidation was induced by exposing DOPG to air for 24-72 h. The extent of air oxidation was confirmed using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption and Ionization with Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The product of the air oxidation of DOPG was identified as the addition of one oxygen atom to one of the symmetrical fatty moieties of DOPG at m/z 814.77. The treatment of DOPG with air oxidation produced dose-dependent cytotoxicity in macrophages. RAW 264.7 cells exposed to oxidized DOPG exhibited morphological features of apoptosis, such as chromatin condensation and cell shrinkage. Typical apoptotic ladders were observed in DNA extracted from RAW 264.7 cells treated with oxidized DOPG. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated an increase in the hypodiploid DNA population (sub-G1), indicating that DNA cleavage occurred after treatment with oxidized DOPG. In addition, we showed that pretreating RAW 264.7 cells with zVAD-fmk, a general caspase inhibitor, did not prevent apoptosis induced by oxidized DOPG, suggesting that apoptosis in macrophage cells follows a caspase-independent pathway. These results point to a need for precaution in formulating DOPG liposomes for drug delivery and therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Evidence that lipids play different roles in the biological environment, particularly in dealing with metabolic regulation and cell signaling, has led to a growing interest in these molecules, and nowadays the research field of lipid structures and functions is called lipidomics. The term describes diverse research areas, from mapping the entire spectrum of lipids in organisms to describing the function and metabolism of individual lipids. Recent investigations on geometrical trans isomers of fatty acid derivatives, which have the double bonds in the same position as the natural compounds but with the trans instead of the naturally occurring cis geometry, highlighted these compounds as a new target for lipidomics. In addition to the identification of their structures and functions, research in a multidisciplinary context aims at understanding the biochemical significance of cis and trans lipid geometry, and a chemical biology approach can be envisaged to explore the role of the geometry change as either an alteration or a signal that can perturb a biological system and induce a cellular response.

Abstract
Autoxidations of cis,cis, cis,trans, and trans,trans nonconjugated octadecadienoates and pentadecadienes were carried out in the presence of alpha-tocopherol to investigate the effect of olefin geometry on this oxidation process and provide insight into the factors that influence the autoxidation of fatty acids. We have found that as the trans character of the diene increases, the amount of O(2) trapping at the central (bis-allylic) position of the pentadienyl radical also increases. In addition, the rate constant for beta-fragmentation (k(beta) approximately 10(6) s(-1)) of the bis-allylic peroxyl radical decreased on going from the cis,cis to the trans,trans diene. We have also found that for the cis,trans nonconjugated dienes, there is a preference for trapping of the pentadienyl radical by O(2) at the transoid end, generating the cis,trans conjugated hydroperoxide as the major product.
