The incidences of short-term or long-term adverse maternal and fetal outcomes caused by maternal diabetes are increasing. Due to toxicity or side effects, economic pressures, and other problems associated with injections or oral hypoglycemic drugs, many researchers have investigated natural treatment methods. Polyphenols can protect against chronic pathologies by regulating numerous physiological processes and provide many health benefits. Moreover, polyphenols have anti-diabetic properties and can be used to treat diabetic complications. Diets rich in polyphenols are beneficial to pregnant women with diabetes. Here, we review the epidemiological and experimental evidence on the impact of dietary polyphenols on maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant women with diabetes, and the effects of polyphenols on biological changes and possible mechanisms. Previous data (mainly from and animal experiments) showed that polyphenols can alleviate gestational diabetes mellitus and diabetic embryopathy by reducing maternal hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress, and regulating related signaling pathways. Although polyphenols have shown many health benefits, further research is needed to better understand the complex interactions between polyphenols and maternal diabetes.

The early intrauterine environment of mothers during pregnancy significantly affects the metabolic health of their offspring. Existing studies suggest that poor maternal nutrition during pregnancy increases the risk of obesity or diabetes in offspring, so it is highly important to intervene during pregnancy to prevent metabolic disorders in mothers and their offspring. Polyphenols with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are found in many foods and have protective effects on obesity, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

The burgeoning field of cancer theranostics has been significantly advanced by the development of Metal-Phenolic Networks (MPNs), a new class of supramolecular architectures that integrate the advantages of metals and polyphenols. This review focuses on MPNs and their promising applications in cancer theranostics. Through a systematic literature search spanning from 2010 to 2023 in databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Evidence suggests that prenatal maternal immunological stress is associated with an increased risk of neurological and psychiatric disorders in the developing offspring. Protecting the embryo during this critical period of neurodevelopment, when the brain is especially vulnerable, is therefore crucial. Polyphenols, with their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, offer promising therapeutic approaches.

Article Synopsis
- Mangiferin is a powerful bioactive compound mainly found in mangoes, known for its potential to prevent and treat various cancers, such as prostate, ovarian, and lung cancer.
- It works by regulating key signaling pathways and triggering processes that lead to cancer cell death and stopping the cell cycle, which helps control cancer proliferation.
- Although studies show promising effects against multiple cancer types, more clinical trials are needed to fully understand its benefits and establish its role in cancer prevention and treatment.
