Palmitic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid supplementation in 3T3 adipocytes: impact on lipid storage and oxidative stress by Edina Bakondi, Tobias Jung, Susanna Marg, Vanessa Schnell, Daniela Weber, Tim J. Schulz, Tilman Grune, Annika Höhn

“…Adipocytes, with a key role in regulating metabolic homeostasis, respond to increased calorie intake and altered fatty acid composition with hypertrophy or hyperplasia. Of particular interest are saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which have differential effects on adipocyte function and inflammation.Methods Using 3T3-L1 cells as a model for adipocytes, we evaluated the effects of PA and EPA on lipid accumulation, droplet size, and oxidative stress markers.Results We were able to show that EPA supplementation in 3T3 adipocytes does not lead to excessive lipid accumulation, but rather reduces the size of lipid droplets and also induces redox changes due to the unsaturated nature of EPA.Discussion These results emphasize the contrasting roles of PA and EPA and the importance of fatty acid composition in the regulation of adipocyte function.…”
