Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. This study focused on evaluating impact a Mediterranean-type diet combined with physical exercise CVD risk factors high-risk individuals. A randomized clinical trial (RCT) recruited individuals (≥50 years old) no history acute myocardial infarction, but high criteria according to SCORE2/SCORE2 OP. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were assessed at baseline after 12 weeks intervention. Participants randomly assigned into 3 groups: intervention group (Group 1a), 1b), (±2 h/week) plus 2). Briefly, dietary was based principles an isocaloric Mediterranean (MD), seven main meals/week centered plant-based foods (legumes pulses). The effect showed significant decrease in WC (p = 0.002), BST < 0.001), visceral fat TG 0.029), compared control groups. significantly increased legume intake as well adherence MD, which associates 0.024) 0.017). should be endorsed efficient modifier cardiometabolic parameters.

Dysbiosis is a prominent factor in numerous inflammatory conditions, with Ruminococcus gnavus, prevalent gut microbe, implicated bowel disease (IBD), irritable syndrome (IBS), eczema, metabolic disorders, and rheumatic diseases. R. gnavus contributes to inflammation by producing an polysaccharide degrading mucin. The increasing evidence of elevated abundance various conditions suggests its potential as therapeutic target. Despite this, there are limited studies on treatment strategies targeting gnavus. This article provides comprehensive overview the association between diverse highlighting need for further research explore effective options against this bacterium.

The advancement of anti-cancer therapies has markedly improved the survival rate children with cancer, making them long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Nevertheless, these treatments cause a low-grade inflammatory state, determining inflamm-aging and, thus, favoring early onset chronic diseases normally associated old age. Identification novel and safer therapeutic strategies is needed to counteract prevent inflamm-aging. Macrophages are cells involved in immune responses, pivotal role iron metabolism, which related inflammation. We obtained macrophages from CCS patients evaluated their phenotype markers, states, metabolism by Western blotting, ELISA, assays. observed strong increase classically activated markers (M1) alteration CCS, an intracellular concentration markers. These results suggest that prevalence M1 could be worsening inflammation CCS. Therefore, we propose as targets To avoid toxic regimens, tested some nutraceuticals (resveratrol, curcumin, oil-enriched lycopene), already known exert anti-inflammatory properties. After administration, macrophage switch towards M2, well reductions pro-inflammatory cytokines concentration. suggest—for first time—that reduce through mechanism action, modulating metabolism.
