Early-life exposure to non-nutritive sweeteners: Impact on adipose tissue morph...

Non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) are sugar alternatives widely incorporated into food and beverages (1), providing sweetness with negligible caloric contribution (2). Over the past two decades, their consumption has increased among pregnant women (3,4). In 2023, WHO discouraged NSS intake highlighting the need for studies regarding exposure during critical windows of development (5), such as pregnancy and childhood (...

Early-life exposure to non-nutritive sweeteners: effects on hepatic FGF21 pathw...

To combat obesity, diets and food products containing non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS), which provide sweetness without caloric intake, have gained popularity, even among pregnant women who reported intentional NNS consumption during gestation. In 2023, the World Health Organization warned about NNS consumption, as their long-term effects may be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular...

The relevance of polyphenols in obesity therapy

Polyphenols are secondary metabolites from plant metabolism, widely distributed in nature. The major dietary sources of polyphenols are fruits, vegetables, chocolate and plant-derived beverages like tea, coffee and wine. Polyphenols are mostly absorbed in the small intestine, extensively and quickly metabolized in the liver and appear in the circulation or are excreted into bile and urine as both intact and met...

Xanthohumol-supplemented beer modulates angiogenesis and inflammation in a skin...

Angiogenesis and inflammation are two intermingled processes that play a role in wound healing. Nevertheless, whenever exacerbated, these processes result in nonhealing wounds. Xanthohumol (XN), a beer-derived polyphenol, inhibits these processes in many physiopathological situations. This study aimed at examining whether XN ingestion affects wound healing. Wistar rats drinking water, 5% ethanol, stout beer (SB...
