Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The things we eat have a major impact on our general health and longevity. Lipids account for nearly 40% of consumed energy, as added sugar intake steadily increases throughout the western world. Obesity rates have exceeded all previous levels according to the latest report from the World Health Organisation. Taken together, these factors indicate that an awareness of the strong relationship between dietary habits and the function of adipose tissue, is an important step towards improving general health. Whether by consuming a particular food or following a specific dietary strategy, intentionally targeting adipose tissue metabolism has important health implications. Obesity and the overall human risk of developing chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis are influenced, at least in part, by food intake. To develop evidence-based dietary strategies that take a nuanced approach to regulating the activity of adipose tissue, including the secretion of adipokines, can have an important influence on general health and longevity.

In this upcoming Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Food Intake and Adipose Tissue Metabolism”, we welcome scientific papers that focus on a wide variety of topics, including the influence of food intake and/or adipose tissue metabolism on health. Submissions may focus on a specific food category/item or a particular diet/dietary strategy in relation to adipose tissue.

In terms of format, the Special Issue welcomes original research articles, review papers, and short communications that contribute to further understanding the complex relationship between food intake and adipose tissue metabolism.

Despite extensive research on the individual effects of breakfast and sleep on health outcomes, there has been limited investigation into their combined effects. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between breakfast-eating behavior and sleep timing on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. A total of 16,121 participants (6744 men and 9377 women) aged 19 years or older were selected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2016–2018, 2021). We classified participants into four groups: early sleep + regular breakfast eaters (group 1), late sleep + regular breakfast eaters (group 2), early sleep + infrequent breakfast eaters (group 3), and late sleep + infrequent breakfast eaters (group 4). In men, group 4 had a lower prevalence of obesity than group 1 (OR 0.78, 95%CI 0.62–0.97), and groups 2, 3, and 4 had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) than group 1 (OR 1.43, 1.62, and 1.47, respectively). In women, group 4 had a lower prevalence of dyslipidemia than group 1 (OR 0.59, 95%CI 0.44–0.80), and group 2 had a higher prevalence of MetS than group 1 (OR 1.24, 95%CI 1.03–1.50). The combination of skipping breakfast and late sleep timing was associated with the higher prevalence of MetS particularly in men. Moreover, the relationship between breakfast and sleep timing on CVD risk factors differed by sex and age group. Full article

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of obese individuals, which has elevated the risk of related diseases. Although several studies have been performed to develop a definitive treatment for obesity, no solution has yet been achieved. Recent evidence suggests that tea catechins possess antiobesity effects; however, an impractical amount of catechin may be required to achieve antiobesity effects in humans. Moreover, studies are yet to elucidate the effects of the combined treatment of tea catechins with other substances. Here, we investigated the synergistic effects of catechins and β-cryptoxanthin in high-calorie diet-induced mice. Combined treatment with catechins and β-cryptoxanthin significantly suppressed obesity-induced weight gain and adipocyte size and area, restoring serum parameters to normal. Additionally, combined treatment with catechins and β-cryptoxanthin suppressed inflammatory responses in adipocytes, restored adiponectin levels to normal, protected the liver against obesity-induced damage, and restored normal liver function. Moreover, activin E level was restored to normal, possibly affecting the energy metabolism of brown adipocytes. Overall, these results suggest that the combined ingestion of tea catechins and β-cryptoxanthin was not only effective against obesity but may also help to prevent obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
