Objective: The present study explored the effect of dietary oils on lipid composition, antioxidant status, and the activity of the main steroidogenic enzymes in the testis.

Methods: Forty Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 10) fed for 60 d on the same basal diet plus different lipid sources as commercial oils: soybean, olive, coconut, or grapeseed. After sacrifice, testicular lipids and fatty acid composition, free radical biomarkers, antioxidant levels, hormones, and steroidogenic enzymes were determined.

Results: The lipid composition of diets produced significant changes in neutral/phospholipids, free/esterified cholesterol, and plasmalogen proportion. Fatty acid patterns of these lipids were also strongly modified, influencing the double bond index. We also found a close correlation between the type of diet and the generation of free radicals. The oxidative stress in testes was higher with the grapeseed oil-supplemented diet and decreased with the other diets in this order: soybean oil > olive oil > coconut oil. Animals fed with the olive oil and coconut oil diets showed the highest testicular levels of antioxidants in addition to significantly high levels of testosterone and 3beta- or 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes.

Conclusion: Different oils in the diets strongly modified the homeostasis of the testicular antioxidant defense system and, in consequence, affected steroidogenic function, showing a clear correlation with the damage induced. According to our results, an appropriate mixture of olive and soybean oils could be a healthy recommendation.

Energy generation from waste renewable sources represent an efficient way to provide green power with the highest environmental benefits, tackling problems related to the high costs for their disposal through the conversion of these wastes in biofuels. However, several challenges hinder their intensified use, as the huge variability in the amount and composition of these sources forces authors to enlarge their studies on the entire biomass-to-energy chain sustainability where the power technology can be installed with the highest profits. In present work, the technical, environmental and economic impact of the entire biomass-to-energy supply chain is assessed with reference to a real commercially available Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system, the CMD ECO20X based on biomass gasification, installed as operational demonstration in the Municipality of Laurino in the National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and Alburni (PNCVD) in Southern part of Italy.
