Background/Objectives: Sodium acetate (NaA) has demonstrated potential in improving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by targeting hepatocytes and Kupffer cells. However, its clinical application is hindered by low oral bioavailability and in...

Objectives: The application of whole fermented foods in sports nutrition for gut microbiota personalization is a promising area of investigation. Sauerkraut, a traditional fermented food, has not been extensively studied in this context. This study a...

Background/Objectives: Improving food safety practices among young adults is critical to public health, but effective communication strategies are under-researched. This study investigated the effectiveness of a 12-day message-based intervention to p...

Background/Objectives: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Between 35% and 65% of NSCLC patients experience nutritional problems or ma...

Background: Polygenic risk score (PRS) quantifies the cumulative effects of common genetic variants across the genome, including both coding and non-coding regions, to predict the risk of developing common diseases. In cardiovascular medicine, PRS en...

Background: Centranthera grandiflora Benth is commonly utilized in China to take advantage of its purported health benefits. Methods: Here, the chemical composition, nutritional value, and bioactivity of C. grandiflora Benth extract (CGE) are charact...

Digestive enzymes, such as proteases and lipases, are widely recognized for their crucial roles in the ripening and production of fermented foods. Digestive enzymes are also used as supplements in nonruminant livestock to enhance feed digestion and p...

The oral administration of probiotics is a promising strategy to regulate the host–intestinal flora balance and improve health. Nevertheless, adverse gastrointestinal (GI) conditions affect the activity of free native probiotics. In this study,...

Background: Chronic visceral hypersensitivity is associated with an overstressed pain response to noxious stimuli (hyperalgesia). Microbiota are active modulators of host biology and are implicated in the etiology of visceral hypersensitivity. Object...

Background: This study aimed to investigate genetic variants associated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and their interactions with lifestyle factors and bioactive compounds in large hospital-based cohorts, assessing their impact...
