Lipid mediators as regulators of lipid and energy metabolism during energy balance derangement in animal models
Environmental factors play a key role in the development of obesity-induced metabolic syndrome and obesity, which are now true epidemics raising public health concerns. Both excess body fat in obesity, and fat and lean mass loss in undernutrition conditions or anorexia nervosa, are the result of energy imbalance. Therefore, maintaining energy balance is crucial for both the prevention of obesity and the treatment of anorexia nervosa and other forms of undernutrition. Lipid signals such as those mediated by endocannabinoidome mediators are deeply involved in the control of energy metabolism. In this thesis, within two different projects, we studied how different environmental factors including calorie restriction, physical activity, vitamin D supplementation and antipsychotic drugs, may lead to energy metabolism modification through modulation of the endocannabinoidome signaling. The results of the experimental work show how the different studied conditions cause changes in the tissue levels of endocannabinoidome lipid mediator as well as in the expression of their receptors and metabolic enzymes, which may contribute to the observed changes in body fat mass and energy metabolism within the models. We conclude that the investigated conditions may cause changes in energy balance through alteration of the endocannabinoidome.
