September 29, 2021Brain Health across the Lifespan: A Systematic Review on the Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplements
“Bearing in mind the scale of ageing populations and rising healthcare costs linked to poor brain health, omega supplementation could be a useful strategy for helping to augment dietary intakes and support brain health across the lifespan. Ongoing research is now needed using harmonious methodologies, supplement dosages, ratios and intervention periods to help formulate congruent conclusions.”

September 27, 2021Healthy Effects of Plant Polyphenols: Molecular Mechanisms
“The findings reported in the last decade are starting to help to decipher the complex relations between plant polyphenols and cell homeostatic systems including metabolic and redox equilibrium, proteostasis, and the inflammatory response, establishing an increasingly solid molecular basis for the healthy effects of these molecules. Taken together, the data currently available, though still incomplete, are providing a rationale for the possible use of natural polyphenols, or their molecular scaffolds, as nutraceuticals to contrast aging and to combat many associated pathologies.”

September 27, 2021Associations of Omega-3 fatty acids with brain morphology and volume in cognitively healthy older adults: A narrative review
“Substantial research has aimed to discover the reasons why some people experience greater morphologic changes that produce undesirable consequences with aging and how it may be prevented. One possible explanation is diet, particularly fish consumption and the intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega 3) concentrated in fish oil.”

September 27, 2021Beneficial Outcomes of Omega-6 and Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Human Health: An Update for 2021
“PUFAs display a plethora of biological activities at the molecular and cellular levels that result in effects on cell and tissue function linked to health outcomes and disease risk. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 PUFAs are important and are recognized as contributing to reduced disease risk and severity (i.e., better health).”

September 20, 2021The prebiotic effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation: A six-week randomised intervention trial
“Dietary omega-3 alters gut microbiome composition and some of its cardiovascular effects appear to be potentially mediated by its effect on gut microbial fermentation products indicating that it may be a prebiotic nutrient.”

September 6, 2021Polyphenols and Human Beings: From Epidemiology to Molecular Targets
“Dietary polyphenols have been associated with health benefits in the prevention of a range of degenerative and age-related diseases that constitute the major causes of death and incapacitation in developed countries.”

June 28, 2021Using an erythrocyte fatty acid fingerprint to predict risk of all-cause mortality: the Framingham Offspring Cohort
“The objective of this study was to compare a combination of RBC FA levels with standard risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in predicting risk of all-cause mortality.”
