In this comprehensive review we tried to reassess the role of phytochemicals in cancer chemoprevention. The exploration "synergistic effect" concept, advocating combined chemopreventive agents, faces challenges like low bioavailability. incorporates personal, occasionally controversial, viewpoints on natural compounds' preventive capabilities, delving into mechanisms. Prioritizing significant contributions within vast research domain, aim stimulating discussion provide a insight evolving prevention. While early years downplayed phytochemicals, late nineties witnessed shift, with leaders exploring their potential alongside synthetic compounds. Challenges faced by chemoprevention, such as limited pharmaceutical interest and cost-effectiveness issues, persist despite successful drugs. Recent studies, including EPIC study, nuanced insights, indicating modest risk reduction for increased fruit vegetable intake. Phytochemicals, once attributed antioxidant effects, face scrutiny due bioavailability conflicting evidence.

The intestinal microbiota, hosting trillions of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, functions as a symbiotic organism plays crucial role in regulating health by producing biologically active molecules can enter systemic circulation. Among them, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), an organic compound derived from dietary sources and microbial metabolism, has emerged critical biomarker linking diet, gut host metabolism to various pathological conditions. This comprehensive review highlights TMAO’s biosynthesis, physiological functions, clinical significance, focusing on its mechanistic contributions cardiovascular neurodegenerative diseases. Notably, TMAO-mediated pathways include endothelial dysfunction, inflammation via NLRP3 inflammasome activation, cholesterol disruption, which collectively accelerate atherosclerosis disease progression. Nonetheless, this work underscores innovative potential targeting TMAO through dietary, nutraceutical, microbiota-modulating strategies mitigate effects, marking transformative approach prevention management TMAO-related disorders.

Gastric ulcer is the most prevalent disorder affecting a large population. Rosa brunonii Lindl. fruit (RBF) has traditionally been used to treat stomach pains. Therefore, current work aimed isolate, characterize, and investigate gastro-protective effect of chloroform extract (RBFCE) against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats. Quercetin 3-O-glucoside (QUE-G) was isolated characterized by modern spectroscopic techniques. RBFCE orally administered at 250 mg/kg, 500 750 mg/kg doses for ten days. induced single dose absolute ethanol (5 ml/kg) on last day study. Histological changes were calculated, along with inhibition index (UI). juice volume, pH, acidity, mucus content, protein content evaluated understand mechanism underlying its gastroprotective effect. Omeprazole (OMP) as positive control. significantly (p<0.01) reduced UI (3.54) increased protection rate (67.63%) compared negative (ulcer) control group. Treatment dose-dependent manner total while decreasing volume acidity. Histopathological studies showed severe mucosal injury edema animals extract-treated groups. This study demonstrated that oral administration possesses significant due anti-secretory cytoprotective mechanisms. Our findings support traditional use RBF ulcer.
