The MedDiet promotes gut health and blood pressure regulation through its various components. For instance, whole grains promote a healthy gut microbiota given that they act as substrates leading to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that can modulate the immune response, preserve gu...
alleviation of menopausal symptoms, and osteoprotective effects by modulating estrogen receptors, thus acting as a safer switch to hormone replacement therapy, anti-hypertensive effect which may also contribute to cardioprotective, anti-oxidative effect, regulation of cognitive functions, and many others. ...
The actual reasons for the decrease in the Treg frac- tion in abdominal adipose tissue during obesity are still not well understood; however, it is interesting to speculate that increased oxidative stress in abdom- inal adipose fat could contribute to apo- ptosis of fat-resident Tregs. This ...
potential effectiveness of radiation protective agents to reduce radiation damage to healthy tissues, as well as knowledge of their impact on the radiosensitivity of tumor tissues. A theoretical understanding of the mechanisms of the radiation protective action of the agents may contribute to this ...
Night fasting, a reduced window of daytime intake, and the intake of two to three meals/day in the first part of the day, including breakfast, contribute to the regulation of circadian clocks [151,152]. All these results suggest that recommendations for synchronizing circadian rhythms are key...
1. Macronutrients: These are the main components that nourish and make up various tissues, serving as the primary source of calorie intake. They include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats [9]. 2. Micronutrients: These do not significantly contribute to calorie intake but are important for maintaini...

Introduction Sedentary behaviors are associated not only with limited physical activity, but also with an increased consumption of high-energy and ultra-processed foods. These lifestyle changes contribute to a rise in ...
