Summary: This study found that the effects of intra-LHA NPY on caloric intake vary depending on the consumption of a fat or sugar component in a free-choice diet. The study also revealed that baseline preference for the fat diet component modulates the effects of intra-LHA NPY in rats fed with a free-choice high-fat and high-sugar diet.

Summary: Although the specific action site and signal pathway of astaxanthin in weight loss remain unclear, this study used Caenorhabditis elegans to shed light on its efficacy and specific action sites. The supplementation of 60 μM astaxanthin significantly reduced fat deposition and triglyceride levels and prevented obesity caused by excessive energy accumulation. These effects were induced by sbp-1/mdt-15 and insulin/insulin-like growth factor pathways, and co-regulated the down-regulation of specific sites fat-6 and fat-7.

Summary: The study demonstrated that high-fat diet-induced obesity impairs male fertility during puberty and in adulthood. The loss of acrosome integrity, increased oxidative stress, increased cell apoptosis, and down-regulation of StAR and WT-1 may be the underlying mechanisms. Switching from high-fat diets during puberty to normal diets in adulthood can improve male fertility.

Summary: CRTC1 in SF1 cells is a sensitive factor for high-fat diet-induced obesity, necessary for normal appetite regulation. It is primarily expressed in the brain, playing an important role in the ventromedial hypothalamus. RNA sequencing analysis of microdissected ventromedial hypothalamus samples revealed that the loss of CRTC1 significantly altered the expression levels of certain genes.

Summary: The study found that a novel multi-ingredient nutritional supplement induced significant fat loss in obese mice independent of physical activity while preserving muscle mass. Mechanistically, these supplements appear to act by inducing a browning program in white adipose tissue and decreasing pathophysiological impairments associated with obesity, including mitochondrial respiration alterations induced by a high-fat diet.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of chromium supplementation and switching dietary habits on lipid metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress in Wistar rats. The combination of chromium nanoparticles and dietary changes showed the strongest reduction in fat content and cholesterol in the liver. This combination also had favorable antioxidative effects. Supplementation with chromium nanoparticles alone also improved lipid metabolism and oxidative stress, although to a lesser extent.

Summary: The caper, derived from the Latin word capra meaning goat, refers to the salt-fermented floral buds of the perennial shrubs from the Capparis genus. C. spinosa is one of the most popular species, and its aromatic floral buds are collected before blooming, dried, and pickled. Capers are commonly marinated and enjoyed in vinegar, brine, or oil. They have potential as dietary supplements due to their low calorie content and abundance of bioactive phytochemicals. Research has shown that C. spinosa possesses various nutritional and biological properties, including antioxidant activity from its phenolic compounds. This paper reviews the biological properties, including toxicity, of the fruits, buds, seeds, roots, and leaves of C. spinosa.

Summary: The required amount of berry polyphenols for health benefits is difficult to achieve through fresh fruit consumption, suggesting polyphenol-rich extracts as a dietary alternative. This study fed rats high-fat diets supplemented with 0.1 or 0.3% raspberry polyphenols and found that the higher dose of extract had more noticeable health-promoting effects, including reduced white adipose tissue weight, hepatic triglyceride content, and plasma IL-6 concentration, as well as increased acetic acid concentration in the cecal digesta. The enhanced content of ellagitannin and anthocyanin metabolites in the blood plasma of rats administered the high dose extract may partially explain these effects.

Summary: The vegetable processing industry generates large amounts of by-products that are susceptible to microbial degradation. Inadequate management leads to the loss of valuable compounds in vegetable by-products. Scientists are exploring the possibility of reusing discarded biomass to create higher value products. The by-products contain bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties. This review emphasizes the importance of these by-products in promoting health through their impact on the microbiota, immune system, and gut milieu.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different types of dietary fibre (cellulose, inulin, pectin, and psyllium) in combination with recommended or enhanced levels of CuNPs on selected biological parameters of intestinal integrity in rats. The results showed that replacing CuCO3 with CuNPs in the diet reduced lactic acid and apoptosis markers levels in the small intestine, but it also increased DNA oxidation. Inulin had the most beneficial effect on DNA repair mechanisms, while pectin had the highest ability to inhibit inflammatory processes and apoptotic cell death in the small intestine. These findings suggest that dietary fibre supplementation can protect the small intestine against oxidative effects of CuNPs by enhancing the intestinal barrier.

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different forms and dosages of copper on neurodegenerative markers in the brain and jejunum. The experiment involved feeding male Wistar rats a rat diet with two CuCO3 dosages and two CuNP dosages. Nanoparticles reduced the level of GAChE, increased the levels of AChE and LRP1, and decreased β-amyloid and Tau protein in both the brain and intestine of rats. The highest levels of beneficial markers and lowest levels of toxic markers were observed in rats receiving a standard dose of Cu.

Its nature involves multiple factors, including physiological, psychological, and social aspects. Despite its significance, fatigue is often underestimated in clinical practice. Comprehensive assessment of the subjective components of fatigue is crucial for effective management of this symptom in inflammatory joint diseases.

The results showed that compared to pectin, inulin and psyllium supplementation with a standard dose of copper nanoparticles improved antioxidant capacity and reduced heart malondialdehyde levels. Furthermore, with an enhanced dose of copper nanoparticles, inulin and psyllium enhanced vasodilation through up-regulation of COX-2-derived vasodilator prostanoids.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that dietary supplementation with prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) and polyphenols can alleviate disorders related to the early stage of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This experiment aimed to investigate whether raspberry polyphenols together with FOSs can regulate advanced-stage NAFLD in genetically obese Zucker rats. The results showed that the addition of FOSs and raspberry polyphenolic extract to the diet reduced liver fat accumulation, improved antioxidant potential, lowered plasma enzyme activities, and increased insulin sensitivity. These effects may be attributed to the upregulation of specific receptors in the liver responsible for regulating lipid metabolism and glucose and bile acid synthesis.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of supplementation with chromium nanoparticles (Cr-NPs) on the gut microenvironment in rats fed a high-fat diet. The results showed that Cr-NPs mainly acted by altering the activity of gut microbiota, leading to decreased concentration of short-chain fatty acids and increased level of cecal lithocholic acid. Switching to a low-fat diet had a more significant impact on obesity-related disorders, improving microbial activity, composition, and the production of short-chain fatty acids.

Summary: Copper and zinc are essential micronutrients that control various cellular pathways and enzyme activity. Imbalances in their concentrations can lead to cardiovascular dysfunction. Dietary intake of excessive zinc can cause copper deficiency. Copper plays a role in vascular remodeling, while zinc is important in the development of heart damage. Metal nanoparticles and their effects on vascular health require further investigation.

The results showed that FFMN improved cognitive and memory impairment in the AD mouse model. Alkaloids enhanced the cholinergic system, while flavonoids and saponins attenuated neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. These findings suggest that the combination of alkaloid, flavonoid, and saponin fractions derived from FFMN is a promising anti-AD agent.
