Important flavonoids and their role as a therapeutic agent

Flavonoids were found to exert several beneficial impacts on health, such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antiviral and cardio-protective effects. Flavonoids may represent a feasible bioactive intervention, and their effects depend on the type of flavonoid, its bioavailability and mechanism of action. In this study by Ullah et al. (2020), the authors highlight the current findings regarding the beneficial effects of individual flavonoids, isolation and synthesis methods, and currently available animal and human models.

Influence of Lycopene intake on mental health: A systematic review of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)

Although some studies have suggested a potential connection between lycopene and mental health, no comprehensive systematic review has yet evaluated this relationship. This study by Głąbska et al. (2025) aimed to systematically assess the effects of lycopene on mental health by analyzing findings from Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). The authors conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review […]

Coffee polyphenols ameliorate early-life stress-induced cognitive deficits in male mice

Exposure to stress during the critical period of early development has been shown to influence brain programming and increase the odds of suffering from cognitive impairments later in life. Early-life stress (ES) causes cognitive deterioration in adulthood, linked to alterations in hippocampus neurogenesis and neuroinflammation, as shown by Geertsema et al. (2024). Specifically, ES has been found to […]
