Regulation of the flow of fatty acids (FA) by futile cycle (TAG/FA cycle) in white adipose tissue (WAT) is an important mechanism of controlling metabolism of FA and therefore its regulation is in the interest of research as a possible therapeutic target in the treatment of obesity and insulin resistance. The study of the murine model suggests that the treatment of the n-3 PUFA with mild caloric restriction (CR) probably induces the TAG/FA cycle mainly in epididymal depot. It also reduces inflammation in WAT and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. We focused on monitoring the gene expression encoding key enzymes of the TAG/FA cycle (PEPCK, ATGL, HSL, DGAT1 and DGAT2) in dorzolumbar (DL), gonadal (GON) and mesenteric (MEZ) depot in a murine model C57BL/6 using qPCR. We were interested in the influence of the composition of fats in the diet, the influence of administration of n-3 PUFA with combination of 10% CR and the difference of gene expression among depots of WAT. The results indicate that the supplementation of high-fat diet with n-3 PUFA contributes mainly to reduction of gene expression for DGAT2 and the combination of n-3 PUFA and CR increases expression of genes influencing the TAG/FA cycle. In MEZ unlike GON and DL fat depot were no significant differences in gene expression, while the different...
