This study evaluates the association between serum PFAS exposure and lipid dysregulation, focusing on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a key cardiovascular risk factor. We analyzed 998 adults from the 2017 to 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), representing a weighted sample of 240 million US adults. Serum concentrations of nine PFAS compounds including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnDA), and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) were measured. Double/debiased machine learning (DML) estimated the association between PFAS exposure and LDL-C and triglyceride levels, adjusting for demographics, clinical, and behavioral covariates. The median total PFAS concentration was 9.23 ng/mL (interquartile range: 9.67 ng/mL). The weighted mean LDL-C and triglyceride levels were 112.5 mg/dL (95% CI: 112.5–112.5) and 115.6 mg/dL (95% CI: 115.6–115.6), respectively. Total PFAS exposure was significantly associated with higher LDL-C (<i>β</i> = 0.30; 95% CI: 0.05–0.54; <i>p</i> = 0.016).

PFHxS was inversely associated with triglycerides (<i>β</i> = −2.26; <i>p</i> = 0.031). In this representative sample of US adults, PFAS exposure is independently associated with lipid dysregulation, particularly elevated LDL-C.

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of Curc + Pipe in serum lipid parameters in adults. A systematic search was conducted in databases until August 2025 to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs). To estimate the pooled effect size, weighted mean differences (WMDs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, applying a random-effects model to account for potential variability between studies. A pooled analysis of 16 RCTs, encompassing a total of 1038 participants (Intervention: 522, Control: 516) revealed that Curc + Pipe significantly reduced triglycerides (TG) (WMD: −18.64 mg/mL, 95% CI: −29.94, −7.34, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and total cholesterol (TC) (WMD: −6.58 mg/mL, 95% CI: −12.60, −0.55, <i>p</i> = 0.032) and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (WMD: 1.51 mg/mL, 95% CI: 0.29, 2.72, <i>p</i> = 0.015).

The present study tested whether zebrafish tissues could be enriched with specific PUFA through dietary modulation. To do so, six-month-old female zebrafish were divided into four groups and fed purified diets over an eight-week period, each diet containing a distinct lipid source: sunflower oil (rich in linoleic acid), linseed oil (rich in alpha-linolenic acid), fish oil (rich in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid), and pomegranate seed oil (rich in punicic acid, a conjugated linolenic acid).

An efficient incorporation of linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, or punicic acid into zebrafish tissues was observed, depending on the dietary source. Linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid underwent partial bioconversion into longer and more unsaturated fatty acids. Fish fed with pomegranate seed oil were enriched in conjugated linoleic acids (rumenic acid and 18:2 (trans-9, trans-11)), suggesting the presence of a Δ13 reductase activity in zebrafish.
