To celebrate the 80th birthday of the French Society for the Study of Lipids (SFEL) and to thank Chevreul Medalists who contributed to the success of the ‘Journées Chevreul’, SFEL is pleased to announce these exceptional edition of ‘Journées Chevreul’ which will be held on January 2023 (3 consecutive days from January 18th to 20th) in a famous place of science in Paris, the National Museum of Natural History (Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, MNHN).
‘Journées Chevreul’ will be organized in collaboration with MNHN, French Academy of Agriculture and two French scientific societies, the Lipidomics Study and Research Group (Groupe d’Etude et de Recherche en Lipidomique, GERLI) and the Lipid Nutrition Group (Groupe Lipides Nutrition, GLN).
These days will provide an overview of all the research themes on lipids supported by SFEL since its creation and the major developments in the various fields of research on lipids in a context of multiple transitions (environmental, societal, bioeconomic, etc.). It will be the opportunity to award the Chevreul Medal 2023 to Pr Michel Linder (FRA).
Here are the major themes (with scheduled speakers) selected:
- Opening Session on SFEL and Michel-Eugène CHEVREUL – Claude Leray (FRA), Christian Ferault (FRA), Hervé Plessix (FRA)
- Omega3 in the Brain - Jean-Marie Bourre (FRA), Richard Bazinet (CAN)
- Genomic/Varietal selection & Oilseed Sector – André Pouzet (FRA), Valérie Mazza (FRA)

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 13th 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.
