Mounting evidence progressively appreciates the vital interplay between immunity and metabolism in a wide array of immunometabolic chronic disorders, both autoimmune non-autoimmune mediated. The immune system regulates functioning cellular within organs like brain, pancreas and/or adipose tissue by sensing adapting to fluctuations microenvironment’s nutrients, thereby reshaping metabolic pathways that greatly impact pro- or anti-inflammatory immunophenotype. While it is agreed relies on an adequate nutritional status function properly, we are only just starting understand how supply single combined all them termed immunonutrients, can steer cells towards less inflamed, tolerogenic Polyphenols, class secondary metabolites abundant Mediterranean foods, pharmacologically active natural products with outstanding immunomodulatory actions. Upon binding range receptors highly expressed (e.g. AhR, RAR, RLR), they act through mitochondria-centered multi-modal approach. First , polyphenols activate nutrient via stress-response pathways, essential for responses. Second regulate mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR)/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) balance well-tolerated caloric restriction mimetics.

The worldwide obesity epidemic has led to a drastic increase in diabetes and cardiovascular disease younger generations. Further, maintaining metabolic health during aging is frequently challenge due poor diets decreased mobility. In this setting, bioactive nutrients that are naturally occurring antioxidants, such as sulforaphane (SFN), of high nutritional interest. SFN, compound present cruciferous vegetables, molecule protects cells from cytotoxic damage mitigates oxidative stress, protecting against disease. It exerts its action through the activation transcription factor nuclear erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2).

Inflammation and immune responses are intricately intertwined processes crucial for maintaining homeostasis combating against pathogens. These involve complex signaling pathways, notably the Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells (NF-κB) Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) which play roles. Sulforaphane (SFN), a nutraceutic, has emerged as potential regulator NF-κB MAPK exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties. However, limited knowledge exists regarding SFN's effects on cell modulation. This study aimed to assess immunomodulatory capacity SFN pretreatment in human dendritic cells (DCs), followed by exposure chronic inflammatory environment induced lipopolysaccharide. was found inhibit resulting phenotypic changes DCs characterized slight reduction expression surface markers, well decrease TNF-α/IL-10 ratio.
