Polyphenols: immunonutrients tipping the balance of immunometabolism in chronic diseases.

Front Immunol

Institute of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal.

Mounting evidence progressively appreciates the vital interplay between immunity and metabolism in a wide array of immunometabolic chronic disorders, both autoimmune and non-autoimmune mediated. The immune system regulates the functioning of cellular metabolism within organs like the brain, pancreas and/or adipose tissue by sensing and adapting to fluctuations in the microenvironment's nutrients, thereby reshaping metabolic pathways that greatly impact a pro- or anti-inflammatory immunophenotype. While it is agreed that the immune system relies on an adequate nutritional status to function properly, we are only just starting to understand how the supply of single or combined nutrients, all of them termed immunonutrients, can steer immune cells towards a less inflamed, tolerogenic immunophenotype.

The gut-microbiome-brain axis plays a crucial role in the control of systemic metabolism and homeostasis. Recent research has shown that dietary habits and nutrients can affect immune system and inflammatory status by influencing various factors, including microbiome composition, microbial products release, gastrointestinal signaling molecules, and neurotransmitters. In addition, the gut microbiome affects the brain by altering levels of key brain transmitters, circulating cytokines, and short-chain fatty acids that can cross the blood-brain barrier.
