“One-pot” green synthesis of sea cucumber peptide/pomegranate peel derivative nanoparticles with good scavenging of reactive oxygen species and alleviating fat accumulation

Abstract The common practice of discarding pomegranate peels, which constitute 20%–30% of the fruit's weight, as agricultural waste in landfills leads to significant resource wastage and exacerbates environmental challenges. Contrary to being worthless, a growing body of evidence...

Dose-Dependent Preservation of Highland Barley Flour Storage Quality by Lycium barbarum Polysaccharide: Evidence from 240-Day Storage Monitoring and Untargeted Lipidomics

Highland barley (hulless barley, Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum) flour is a nutritionally dense staple of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, but its high contents of unsaturated lipids and active endogenous enzymes render it highly susceptible to storage deterioration. Natural polysacchar...

Microbiome-Derived Metabolic Signaling in the Gut–Skin Axis: Implications for Nutricosmetics and Healthy Skin Aging

The gut–skin axis represents a bidirectional communication network linking the gut microbiota, microbial metabolism, immune regulation, and skin physiology. Natural bioactives derived from dietary plants, mushrooms, fermented foods, marine resources, and functional ingredients ma...

Early Neuroprotective Effects of Erucic Acid and Gentisic Acid on Hippocampal Glutamate Concentrations and Alzheimer-like Molecular Alterations in an Intracerebroventricular Streptozotocin Rat Model

Background: Alterations in glutamatergic homeostasis have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, but the relationship between total hippocampal tissue glutamate and Alzheimer-like molecular alterations remains unclear. This study evaluated the early neuroprotective potential of...

Triglyceride–glucose index as a cardiovascular risk marker: updated evidence, limitations, and future perspectives

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the foremost cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, accounting for a substantial burden on healthcare systems, economies, and society. Traditional risk factors do not fully explain residual cardiovascular risk, highlighting the role of i...
