How plant compounds could target Alzheimer’s disease from multiple angles

This review highlights how dietary polyphenols modulate Alzheimer’s disease biology through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and multi-target mechanisms, supported by in-silico docking analyses. Despite promise, challenges in bioavailability and brain delivery remain key hurdles to clinical translation.

Ultra-processed foods affect sperm quality and metabolism even without extra calories

A controlled crossover trial in Cell Metabolism found that ultra-processed foods increase weight, fat mass, LDL:HDL cholesterol, and alter reproductive hormones in men, with some effects independent of calorie load. These diets also showed trends toward reduced sperm motility, shifts in pollutants, and transient inflammatory responses, highlighting risks beyond excess calories.
