Background: Oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy (OIN) is a severe painful condition that strongly affects the patient's quality of life and cannot be counteracted by the available drugs or adjuvants. Thus, several efforts are devoted to discovering substances that can revert or reduce OIN, including natural compounds. The carob tree, L.

To date, a tool able to predict any body composition changes or detect them early and increased adiposity (and, therefore, increased likelihood of MetS onset) is still lacking in this population.

- Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) leaves were studied for their chemical makeup and health benefits, focusing on making carob farming more sustainable.
- Key components identified in the leaves include various types of galloylated glucoses and flavonol-glycosides, with high levels of bioactive compounds linked to antioxidant properties.
- The leaves showed strong inhibitory effects on enzymes related to diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting they may help manage blood sugar levels with minimal side effects.
Human milk (HM) is a complex biofluid rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds essential for infant health. Recent advances in omics technologies-such as proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics-have shed light on the influence of HM on bone development and health. This review discusses the impact of various HM components, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and hormones, on bone metabolism and skeletal growth.

We conducted a systematic review to investigate the effect of oleocanthal (OC) from extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) on amyloid-β (Aβ) burden in preclinical models of AD, considering the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of EVOO biophenols, which are key components of the Mediterranean dietary model.
