Bioactivity and Digestibility of Microalgae Tetraselmis sp. and Nannochloropsis sp. as Basis of Their Potential as Novel Functional Foods

Samuel Paterson et al.

Summary: It is estimated that the world's population will exceed 10 billion people by 2050, leading to a decline in global food security. To address this issue, the FAO and WHO have recommended dietary changes to reduce animal calorie intake and increase the consumption of sustainable and nutrient-rich products. Microalgae, such as Tetraselmis and Nannochloropsis, have gained attention as potential sources of functional foods due to their high-value compounds with potential health benefits. However, their use is limited by challenges related to species diversity, cultivation factors, extraction procedures, and limited evidence on safety and bioavailability of microalgae bioactives.

Natural Products as Modulators of Nrf2 Signaling Pathway in Neuroprotection

Ignacio Moratilla-Rivera et al.

Summary: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are common diseases affecting the West due to increased life expectancy. Cells accumulate oxidative damage, triggering neurodegeneration. The transcription factor Nrf2 regulates endogenous antioxidant systems and induces the transcription of genes containing ARE in response to prooxidant conditions. Natural products such as quercetin, curcumin, and terpenoids can positively modulate Nrf2, reducing oxidative damage to the nervous system. This review aims to update knowledge on the potential treatments for NDs by activating the Nrf2 pathway with secondary metabolites of health interest.

Summary: This article discusses the controversies surrounding the clinical use of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and examines the discrepancies between recent trials. Recent evidence suggests that high-purity EPA can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in individuals with high triglycerides, while trials of mixed EPA/DHA products have consistently failed to improve cardiovascular outcomes. The differences in results may be attributed to variations in omega-3 FA products, dosing, study populations, and study designs.
