Dietary stearic acid regulates mitochondria in vivo in humans

Abstract: Since modern foods are unnaturally enriched in single metabolites, it is important to understand which metabolites are sensed by the human body and which are not. We previously showed that the fatty acid stearic acid (C18:0) signals via a dedicated pathway to regulate mitofusin activity and thereby mitochondrial morphology and function in cell culture. Whether this pathway is poised to sense changes in dietary intake of C18:0 in humans is not known. We show here that C18:0 ingestion rapidly and robustly causes… Show more

“…The fact that the extent of mitochondrial fusion differed between adipocytes pre-enriched with different FA indicates that this process can be modulated according to single metabolites. This has been shown to be the case in humans, where ingestion of the FA stearic acid (18:0) caused mitochondrial fusion within 3 h after ingestion, whereas this response was not observed after PA ingestion [61]. Our results showed that OA and EPA had a greater capacity than PA to promote mitochondrial dynamics in Atlantic salmon adipocytes.…”

“…47 Another compound identified was stearic acid, which is associated with reduced cardiovascular and cancer risks. 48 Palmitic acid, present in both species, has induced senescence in hepatocellular cells and also impairs the expression of the SMARCD1 gene, which appears to be responsible for the accumulation of lipids associated with aging in the hepatic cell. 49 Squalene and α-amyrin, together with other compounds present in Wrightia pubescens extracts, were effective against HT-29 (cell line colon) with an IC 50 of 1.70 μg mL −1 .…”

“…The differences in the chain length of the FFAs could also cause opposite metabolic consequences when ingested. Palmitic acid (C16:0) uptake can increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level as well as atherosclerosis risks, whereas stearic acid has the exact opposite effect 4 . Clearly, the structures and associated intermolecular interactions in various FFAs plays a significant role on physiological behaviour, and additionally these phenomena are of great importance in other fields, such as the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries 5 .…”
