This study investigated the effects of cashew nut oil on the metabolism of animals subjected to a high-fat diet. C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat diet (12 weeks), then switched to diets containing cashew nut oil, soybean oil, or lard (12 weeks). Diets were characterized for their fatty acid profile. General parameters, metabolic markers, oxidative stress, gene expression, and liver steatosis were evaluated. Oleic acid was predominant in the cashew nut oil-added diet, linoleic acid in the soybean oil-added diet, and palmitic acid in the lard-added diet. Cashew nut oil reduced blood glucose, triglycerides, uric acid, and liver steatosis, and increased SOD expression and activity and catalase activity. Soybean oil reduced blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver steatosis. Both vegetable oils, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, demonstrated more benefits than animal fat. Cashew nut oil effects may be mediated by the reduction of hepatic fat accumulation and oxidative stress, leading to lower triglyceride levels, improved insulin signaling, and decreased uric acid, probably due to its fatty acid composition, rich in oleic acid. Phenolic compounds may enhance its antioxidant capacity. The quality of fatty acids and the bioactive compounds is a determinant of the metabolic effect of oils. Cashew nut oil may improve lipid metabolism, reduce liver steatosis, and enhance antioxidant effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":18086,"journal":{"name":"Lipids","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145308443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The serum metabolite profile was investigated using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Results showed that significant changes in lipid metabolism were observed in the MIS-treated mice during endurance exercise compared with the vehicle control. Specifically, the MIS treatment reduced glycerophospholipids, glycerolipids, long-chain fatty acids, and inflammatory signaling arachidonic acid derivatives, and increased medium-long-chain acylcarnitine levels relative to the exercised group. Furthermore, the levels of dimethylglycine (DMG), citrate (CA), glycerol, creatine, and corticosterone were also increased after the MIS supplementation, which was associated with the changes in the pathways of serotoninergic synapses, CA cycles, and amino acid metabolisms.
