    Transcriptomics of natural and synthetic vitamin D in human hepatocyte lipotoxicity
    DOI https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnutbio.2023.109319

    Abstract

    Vitamin D (VD) has been used to prevent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition of lipotoxicity associated with a defective metabolism and function of this vitamin. Different forms of VD are available and can be used for this scope, but their effects on liver cell lipotoxicity remain unexplored. In this study we compared a natural formulation rich in VD2 (Shiitake Mushroom… Read more

    Efficacy of a vegetal mixture composed of Zingiber officinale, Echinacea purpurea, and Centella asiatica in a mouse model of neuroinflammation: In vivo and ex vivo analysis
    DOI https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2022.887378

    Abstract

    Experimental evidence suggests that neuroinflammation is a key pathological event of many diseases affecting the nervous system. It has been well recognized that these devastating illnesses (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, and chronic pain) are multifactorial, involving many pathogenic mechanisms, reason why pharmacological treatments are unsatisfactory. The purpose of this study… Read more

    Anthraquinones: Genotoxic until Proven Otherwise? A Study on a Substance-Based Medical Device to Implement Available Data for a Correct Risk Assessment
    DOI https://doi.org/10.3390/toxics10030142

    Abstract

    A genotoxicological study was carried out on a substance-based medical device (SMD) containing anthraquinones in order to evaluate its potential mutagenic effect. The “In Vitro Mammalian Cell Micronucleus Test” was performed on human TK6 cells by flow cytometry. Cultures were treated with concentrations of SMD tested in the range of 0–2 mg/mL for short treatment time (3 h)… Read more

    Title

    A non-pharmacological therapeutic approach in the gut triggers distal metabolic rewiring capable of ameliorating diet-induced dysfunctions encompassed by metabolic syndrome
    DOI https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-69469-y

    Abstract

    Metabolic syndrome has increased at a worrisome level. Lifestyle changes are not sufficient to prevent and improve the adverse effects of obesity, thus novel interventions are necessary. The aim of this study was to investigate the use and metabolic outcomes of a non-pharmacological intervention in a high-fat diet (HFD) fed mouse model, capable of recapitulating key aspects of metabolic… Read more

    Researching New Therapeutic Approaches for Abdominal Visceral Pain Treatment: Preclinical Effects of an Assembled System of Molecules of Vegetal Origin
    DOI https://doi.org/10.3390/nu12010022

    Abstract

    Abdominal pain is a frequent symptom of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Although the knowledge of these pathologies is progressing, new therapeutic strategies continue to be investigated. In the present study, the effect of a system of molecules of natural origin (a medical device according to EU Directive 93/42/EC, engineered starting from Boswellia… Read more

    Topical protection of esophageal mucosa: in vitro evaluation of the protective effect of a medical device made of natural substances in comparison with sodium alginate

    Abstract

    OBJECTIVES: The integrity of the esophageal mucosal barrier is the first mechanism of protection against gastro-esophageal reflux. A possible strengthening action of esophageal mucosal barrier could be given by topical agents that act by reducing its permeability. Our aim was to test the protective effect of a medical device made of substances (MDMS), composed by natural complex (… Read more

    Efficacy of AdipoDren ® in Reducing Interleukin-1-Induced Lymphatic Endothelial Hyperpermeability
    DOI https://doi.org/10.1159/000452798

    Abstract

    Lymphatic leakage can be seen as a detrimental phenomenon associated with fluid retention and deposition as well as gain of weight. Moreover, lymphatic dysfunction is associated with an inflammatory environment and can be a substrate for other health conditions. A number of treatments can ameliorate lymphatic vasculature: natural substances have been used as treatment options particularly… Read more
