Obesity prevalence has steadily increased over the past decades. Standard approaches, such as energy expenditure, lifestyle changes, a balanced diet, and use of specific drugs, are conventional strategies for preventing or treating disease its associated complications. Fermented foods their subsequent bioactive constituents now believed to be novel strategy that can complement already existing approaches managing this disease. Recent developments in systems biology bioinformatics have made it possible model simulate compounds interactions. The adoption silico models contributed discovery fermented product targets helped testing hypotheses regarding mechanistic impact underlying functions food components. From studies explored, key findings suggest affect adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, appetite regulation, gut microbiota composition, insulin resistance, inflammation related obesity, which could lead new ways treat these conditions. These outcomes were linked probiotics, prebiotics, metabolites, complex substances produced during fermentation. Overall, show promise innovative tools obesity management by influencing metabolic pathways overall health.

Sphingomyelin is a crucial molecule in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway, and its action closely related to that of vitamin D3. Both molecules are recognized for their involvement brain pathophysiology. In this study, effect sphingomyelin + D3-enriched diet was investigated rabbits. The results showed strong immunopositive GFAP staining brain's white matter. Furthermore, remodeling balance between glycero-phospholipids ether-phospholipids observed brain, along with an increase ceramides hexose ceramides, relevant structure, function, stability myelin. Taken together, these findings provide clues as how combination D3 may play vital role normal physiology could potentially be leveraged context neurodegenerative diseases.
