OCL - Oilseeds and fats, Crops and Lipids becomes a “PCI-friendly” journal

Details: Published on 26 January 2023

OCL - Oilseeds and fats, Crops and Lipids, a research journal published by EDP Sciences, has embraced transparent peer review and preprints by becoming a “PCI-friendly” journal, in partnership with Peer Community In (PCI). PCI is a non-profit, non-commercial platform that publishes recommendations of preprints after peer-review through specific communities of researchers. Nearly 100 journals are already on Peer Community In, including two EDP Sciences journals: Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena (the first PCI-friendly maths journal) and International Journal of Limnology.

‘Journées Chevreul’ 2023 at the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris

Details: Published on 14 November 2022

To celebrate the 80th birthday of SFEL -a scientific association promoting dissemination of knowledge in the field of lipids- and to thank all Chevreul Medalists who have contributed to the success of the ‘Journées Chevreul’, SFEL is pleased to announce the exceptional ‘Journées Chevreul’ which will be held on January 2023 in a famous place of science in Paris, the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN). MNHN is one of the birthplaces of chemistry where Chevreul worked for more than 40 years and has isolated, characterized and named cholesterol.

These anniversary ‘Journées Chevreul’ will provide an overview of all the research themes on lipids supported by SFEL/AFECG since its creation and will be the occasion to award the Chevreul Medal 2023 to Michel Linder (LiBio, ENSAIA Nancy). They will take place on 3 consecutive days from January 18th to 20th. They will be boarded with an opening ceremony about Chevreul and SFEL followed by a series of lectures delivered by both Chevreul Medalists and invited speakers. Oral and poster communications will be also presented after selection. They will be organized in collaboration with Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) and our colleagues from three french scientific societies, the Groupe d’Etude et de Recherche en Lipidomique (GERLI), the Groupe Lipides Nutrition (GLN) and the Académie d'Agriculture de France (AAF), around the following 6 main themes (with scheduled speakers):

Lipids Online 2022 : the role of elongase 2 on EPA and DHA metabolism (free webinar)

Details: Published on 11 July 2022

“The role of elongase 2 on eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid metabolism” is the title of the coming ISSFAL’s seminar. This free webinar will be proposed the 13^th of July 2022 (10:00 AM New York City | 15:00 London | 10:00 PM Singapore) by Adam Metherel, PhD (Department of Nutritional Sciences @University of Toronto, Canada https://nutrisci.med.utoronto.ca/faculty/adam-metherel).

Increases in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) levels following docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) supplementation has long been explained by the retroconversion pathway. Conversely, a lack of increase in DHA levels following precursor supplementation, such as EPA, has been used as evidence for low DHA synthesis rates. However, recent evidence from animal and human modeling reveals that increases in EPA with DHA supplementation may be the result of an inhibition of EPA metabolism, and despite no changes in DHA levels with EPA supplementation, substantial synthesis of DHA occurs. New evidence indicates that inhibition of elongase 2 by DHA may explain the increased EPA levels – not retroconversion. Elongase 2 also appears to be an important regulatory enzyme for DHA synthesis, particularly as a mechanism to explain the well-known higher DHA levels in women compared with men. This presentation will review these findings and present new evidence highlighting the potentially important role of elongase 2 in EPA and DHA metabolism.
