The predominant source of alcohol in the diet is alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, spirits and liquors, sweet wine, and ciders. Self-reported alcohol intakes are likely to be influenced by measurement error, thus affecting the accuracy and precision of currently established epidemiological associations between alcohol itself, alcoholic beverage consumption, and health or disease. Therefore, a more objective assessment of alcohol intake would be very valuable, which may be established through biomarkers of food intake (BFIs).

The status of oxidative stress in stroke patients over time, particularly in those undergoing rehabilitation treatments, has been poorly investigated. We analyzed the oxidative stress status in 61 subacute stroke patients (33 females and 28 males) admitted to our rehabilitation center by measuring, in serum: hydroperoxides levels (d-ROMs), antioxidant activity (BAP test), and the relative antioxidant capacity (OSI index).

- - The study investigates the effects of metabolites from an extract rich in tannins on gene dysregulation caused by ultraviolet A radiation in human dermal fibroblasts, addressing a gap in research regarding oral formulations for skin disorders.
- - Healthy volunteers participated in a randomized trial, where their blood plasma was analyzed for gallic acid metabolites after ingesting the extract, to assess how these metabolites could influence the response of skin cells to UV damage.
- - The results indicated that while the metabolites did not significantly affect the expression of most extracellular matrix genes, they activated 10 genes related to skin repair, suggesting a potential role in recovery from UV-induced skin damage.
