Article Synopsis
- 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.

Bergamot extracts have been suggested to possess several pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which could be useful in the management of age-related diseases and neuromuscular health. The review highlights the promising effects of bergamot extracts on skeletal muscle mass and function, particularly in the context of obesity, metabolic syndrome, osteosarcopenic obesity, and osteoporosis.

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.
Methods: The literature was searched through six electronic databases until February 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers examined lentil seed coats for their health benefits, particularly in managing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs).
- They used both traditional and microwave-assisted extraction methods to obtain extracts, finding the microwave method with ethyl acetate the most effective for anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic activity.
- The study concluded that this extract could support intestinal health, indicating its potential as a dietary supplement to help treat intestinal issues.
