Mediation and moderation by inflammation and dietary patterns in heavy metal exposure effects on kidney function

mycolabadmin

This study found that exposure to heavy metals like lead and cadmium damages kidney function by triggering inflammation in the body. Interestingly, what you eat matters significantly – a healthy diet can help protect your kidneys from heavy metal damage, while an unhealthy, pro-inflammatory diet makes the damage worse. The research suggests that eating better may be an effective way to reduce kidney disease risk from environmental pollution exposure.

Application of Exercise/Training Models to Evaluate Food Functionality with Special Focus on Preventing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress and Enhancing Exercise Performance

mycolabadmin

This review explains how different types of exercise affect your body and how specific foods can help. Moderate exercise like walking benefits from antioxidant-rich foods to reduce inflammation, while intense training requires more careful supplement selection because too much antioxidants can actually harm your training gains. The research shows that personalized approaches considering your genetics, gut bacteria, and individual responses work best for optimizing performance and health.

Unveiling roles of beneficial gut bacteria and optimal diets for health

mycolabadmin

Your gut bacteria are tiny living organisms that help digest food, support your immune system, and influence your overall health. Eating foods rich in fiber, fermented products like yogurt and kimchi, and colorful fruits and vegetables helps grow these beneficial bacteria. When your gut bacteria become unbalanced, it can lead to inflammation and various diseases, but eating the right foods can restore balance and improve your health.

Special Issue: Marine-Derived Compounds Applied in Cardiovascular Disease

mycolabadmin

This collection of studies explores how compounds from ocean sources like seaweed, fish, shrimp, and microalgae can help protect heart health and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Researchers examined various marine ingredients and found they can reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and prevent blood clots. The findings suggest that marine-derived products could become safer, more affordable alternatives or complements to current heart disease medications while supporting sustainable ocean resource use.

The Effect of 2′-Fucosyllactose on Gut Health in Aged Mice

mycolabadmin

This research shows that 2′-fucosyllactose, a natural compound found in breast milk, can significantly improve gut health in older mice. The treatment strengthened the intestinal barrier, reduced harmful inflammation, and increased beneficial bacteria populations. These findings suggest that 2′-FL could be developed as a food supplement to help older people maintain better digestive and immune health.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial on the Effect of a Dietary Supplement Containing Dry Artichoke and Bergamot Extracts on Metabolic and Vascular Risk Factors in Individuals with Suboptimal Cholesterol Levels

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a daily pill combining dried extracts from artichoke and bergamot plants to see if it could improve cholesterol levels and heart health in people with elevated cholesterol. After 12 weeks, people taking the supplement showed significant improvements in cholesterol levels, triglycerides, inflammation markers, and blood vessel function compared to those taking a placebo. The supplement was safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, suggesting it could be a useful natural approach for managing cholesterol and related cardiovascular risk factors.

Development and preliminary mechanistic analysis of compound effervescent hepatoprotective granules

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a new health product combining three medicinal plants to protect the liver from injury. The mixture contains effective compounds that reduce liver inflammation, fight harmful oxidative stress, and protect liver cells from damage. Studies in rats showed the product improved liver function and reduced markers of liver damage, suggesting it could be useful for preventing and treating liver injuries caused by drugs, alcohol, or toxins.

Potential Cosmetic Applications of the Combined Extract of Panax ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps militaris, and Several Asian Plants

mycolabadmin

Researchers created a combination extract from four Asian plants including ginseng, medicinal mushrooms, and other herbs to treat acne. They tested this blend in laboratories and found it effectively killed acne-causing bacteria, reduced skin inflammation, repaired the skin barrier, and reduced oily skin production. The extract was safe for skin cells and appeared to work as well as or better than standard treatments.

Mitigating nickel-induced toxicity: the protective role of native probiotic strains on oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways in mice lung tissues

mycolabadmin

This study examined how probiotic bacteria can protect lung tissue from damage caused by nickel exposure. Researchers gave mice nickel to cause oxidative stress and inflammation, then treated them with beneficial bacteria from four probiotic strains. The probiotics successfully reduced oxidative stress markers and inflammatory responses in the lung tissue by activating protective genes and deactivating inflammatory genes. This research suggests that probiotics could be a natural way to prevent lung damage from heavy metal exposure.

Dietary live microbe intake and its association with Parkinson’s disease in American adults: an NHANES analysis (1999–2018)

mycolabadmin

This study found that eating more foods rich in live microbes—like fermented products (yogurt, kimchi) and fresh fruits and vegetables—is associated with lower rates of Parkinson’s disease in American adults. The protective effect was strongest in people without obesity. The live microbes appear to work by maintaining a healthy gut environment, reducing inflammation, and protecting nerve cells from damage. This suggests that regular consumption of microbe-rich foods from nature might be a simple, inexpensive way to help prevent or slow Parkinson’s disease.
