Abstract

Omega‐3‐polyunsaturated fatty acids (w‐3‐PUFAs) have well‐documented protective effects that are attributed not only to eicosanoid inhibition but also to the formation of novel biologically active lipid mediators (i.e ., resolvins and protectins). In this study, we examined their effects on ob/ob mice, an obesity model of insulin resistance and fatty liver disease. Dietary intake ofw‐3‐PUFAs had insulin‐sensitizing actions in adipose tissue and liver and improved insulin tolerance in obese mice. Genes involved in insulin sensitivity (PPAR/γ), glucose transport (GLUT‐2/GLUT–4), and insulin receptor signaling (IRS‐1/IRS–2) were up‐regulated byw‐3‐PUFAs. Moreover,w‐3‐PUFAs increased adiponectin, an anti‐inflammatory and insulin‐sensitizing adipokine, and induced AMPK phosphorylation, a fuel‐sensing enzyme and a gatekeeper of the energy balance. Concomitantly, hepatic steatosis was alleviated byw‐3‐PUFAs. A lipidomic analysis with liquid chromatography/mass spectrome‐try/mass spectrometry revealed that w‐3‐PUFAs inhibited the formation of w‐6‐PUFA‐derived eicosanoids, while triggering the formation of w‐3‐PUFA‐derived resolvins and protectins. Moreover, representative members of these lipid mediators, namely resolvin E1 and protectin D1, mimicked the insulin‐sensitizing and antisteatotic effects of w‐3‐PUFAs and induced adiponectin expression to a similar extent that of rosigli‐tazone, a member of the thiazolidinedione family of antidiabetic drugs. Taken together, these findings uncover beneficial actions of w‐3‐PUFAs and their bioactive lipid autacoids in preventing obesity‐induced insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis.—Gonzalez‐Periz, A.,Horrillo, R., Ferre, N., Gronert, K., Dong, B., Moran‐Salvador, E.,Titos, E., Martinez‐Clemente, M.,Lopez‐Parra, M.,Arroyo, V., Claria, J.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
