The effects of endocannabinoids and fatty acids on lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function in adipocytes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The endocannabinoid (EC) system has a role in metabolic homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ECs and the fatty acids they are derived from on lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function in adipocytes. 3T3-L1 adipocytes on day 8 of differentiation were treated with ECs and fatty acids for 48 hours in the absence or presence of insulin and various inhibitors. Lysates were analyzed via Western immunoblotting, a lipolysis assay and Seahorse XF Analyzer for changes in protein levels, phosphorylation state, lipolysis, and oxygen consumption rate. Results showed that ECs (2-arachidonoyl glycerol) stimulated lipolysis via a novel AMPK-dependent pathway, while fatty acids had varying effects on insulin signaling and mitochondrial function . These data suggest adipose tissue EC receptors may be a suitable target for anti-obesity therapy. Further research is needed to understand how the dietary fatty acid profile may influence synthesis of ECs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
