Compared to normal individuals, the structure intestinal flora NAFLD patients altered accordingly. This study investigates effect camel milk on regulation in mice with high-fat diet-induced NAFLD. model was established feeding C57BL/6J for 12 weeks, meanwhile (3.0 g/kg/d), cow silymarin (200 mg/kg/d) were administered gavage, respectively. Food intake changes physiological indexes observed recorded.

Abstract Fermented functional food products are among the major segments of processing industry. Fermentation imparts several characteristic effects on foods including enhancement organoleptic characteristics, increased shelf-life, and production novel health beneficial compounds. However, in addition to macronutrients present food, secondary metabolites such as polyphenols also emerging suitable fermentable substrates. Despite traditional antimicrobial view polyphenols, accumulating research shows that exert differential bacterial communities by suppressing growth pathogenic microbes while concomitantly promoting proliferation survival probiotic bacteria. Conversely, bacteria not only survive but induce their fermentation which often leads improved bioavailability metabolic intermediates, polyphenolic content, thus enhanced capacity fermented food. In addition, selective combinations polyphenol-rich or fortification with can result foods. The narrative review specifically explores potential substrates We discuss bidirectional relationship between an aim at development based amalgamation polyphenols. Graphical abstract

Obesity is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality because it has close relationship to metabolic illnesses, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some types of cancer. With no drugs available, the mainstay obesity management remains lifestyle changes with exercise dietary modifications. In light tremendous disease burden unmet therapeutics, fresh perspectives on pathophysiology drug discovery are needed. The development epigenetics provides compelling justification how environmental, lifestyle, other factors contribute pathogenesis obesity. Furthermore, epigenetic dysregulations can be restored, been reported that certain natural products obtained from plants, tea polyphenols, ellagic acid, urolithins, curcumin, genistein, isothiocyanates, citrus isoflavonoids, were shown inhibit weight gain. These substances have great antioxidant potential interest they also modify mechanisms. Therefore, understanding modifications target primary cause mechanisms anti-obesity effects phytochemicals prove rational strategies prevent develop novel therapeutic interventions.

Introduction Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic non-specific colorectal inflammatory disease with unclear etiology, has long plagued human health. Gut microbiota dysbiosis destroy homeostasis of the colon, which is closely related to ulcerative progress. Apigenin, flavonoid widely present in celery, been found improve colitis. However, potential molecular mechanism apigenin ameliorating through protecting intestinal barrier and regulating gut remains undefined. Methods Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse model was conducted evaluate effect on UC. Disease activity index score mice, colon tissue pathological, cytokines analysis, tight junction proteins expression, colonic content short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) 16S rRNA gene sequencing were reflect protection Results The results indicated that significantly relieved pathological injury, increased goblet cells quantity mucin secretion, promoted anti-inflammatory IL-10 inhibited expression proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 MPO tissue. Apigenin ZO-1, claudin-1 occludin expressions restore integrity barrier. Moreover, remodeled disordered by abundance Akkermansia , Turicibacter Klebsiella Romboutsia etc., its metabolites (SCFAs), attenuating DSS-induced injury. We also investigated supplementation metabolic pathways microbiota. Conclusion effectively ameliorated UC via balancing microbiome inhibit inflammation protect With low toxicity high efficiency, might serve as therapeutic strategy for treatment interaction between host microorganism.

Akkermansia muciniphila is a mucosal symbiont considered gut microbial marker in healthy individuals, as its relative abundance significantly reduced subjects with inflammation and metabolic disturbances. Dietary polyphenols can distinctly stimulate the of A. muciniphila, contributing to attenuation several diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel liver damage. However, mechanistic insight into how or activity limited. This review focuses on dietary interventions rodents humans vitro studies using different phenolic classes. We provide critical insights respect potential mechanisms explaining effects affecting muciniphila. Anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, flavonols, flavanones, stilbenes, acids are shown increase levels vivo, whereas lignans exert opposite effect. Clinical trials show consistent findings, high intervariability relying microbiota composition at baseline presence multiple polyphenol degraders appear be cardinal determinants inducing associated benefits by intake. Polyphenols signal AhR receptor impact direct indirect fashion, resulting restoration intestinal epithelial integrity homeostatic crosstalk IL-22 production. Moreover, recent evidence suggests that participates initial hydrolysis some but does not participate their complete metabolism. In conclusion, consumption polyphenol-rich foods targeting pivotal intermediary represents promising precision nutritional therapy prevent attenuate diseases.
