Early- and life-long intake of dietary advanced glycation end-products (dAGEs) leads to transient tissue accumulation, increased gut sensitivity to inflammation, and slight changes in gut microbial diversity, without causing overt disease.

Dietary advanced glycation end-products (dAGEs) accumulate in organs and are thought to initiate chronic low-grade inflammation (CLGI), induce glycoxidative stress, drive immunosenescence, and influence gut microbiota. Part of the toxicological interest in glycation products such as dietary carboxymethyl-lysine (dCML) relies on their interaction with receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE). It remains uncertain whether early or lifelong exposure to dAGEs contributes physiological changes and whether such effects are reversible or permanent.

How advanced are we on the consequences of oral exposure to food contaminants on the occurrence of chronic non communicable diseases?

The development of an individual during fetal life and childhood is characterized by rapid growth as well as gradual maturation of organs and systems. Beyond the nutritional intake in essential nutrients, food contaminants can permanently influence the way organs mature and function. These processes are called "programming" and play an essential role in the occurrence of non-communicable chronic diseases throughout the lifespan.

Do high-dose progestins impair sexual function in women treated for endometriosis? A prospective observational longitudinal study.

Introduction: High-dose progestins are used as an effective therapy for painful symptoms of endometriosis but their impact on sexual function has been poorly studied. The study aims to assess the impact of high-dose progestin on sexual function among women treated for endometriosis.

Material And Methods: In this bicenter prospective observational study, women with endometriosis who received medical or surgical treatment for endometriosis and who were sexually active were included.

Early exposure to food contaminants reshapes maturation of the human brain-gut-microbiota axis.

Early childhood growth and development is conditioned by the consecutive events belonging to perinatal programming. This critical window of life will be very sensitive to any event altering programming of the main body functions. Programming of gut function, which is starting right after conception, relates to a very well-established series of cellular and molecular events associating all types of cells present in this organ, including neurons, endocrine and immune cells.

Polyphenol Interactions Mitigate the Immunogenicity and Allergenicity of Gliadins.

Wheat allergy is an IgE-mediated disorder. Polyphenols, which are known to interact with certain proteins, could be used to reduce allergic reactions. This study screened several polyphenol sources for their ability to interact with gliadins, mask epitopes, and affect basophil degranulation.
