Based mainly on in vitro and animal studies, polyphenol metabolites may exert several beneficial effects in the gut: (1) they selectively encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria (i.e., have a prebiotic effect)
In the female offspring, mitochondrial fusion markers on P1 suggest increased mitochondrial regeneration, while in adults increased mitochondrial fission and autophagosome markers were observed, with high levels of MnSOD and OXPHOS complex I suggesting an increase in energy demand and oxidative stress, thereby more mitochondrial turnover (Twig et al., In the developing brain, substantially high energy demand increases the need for glucose, oxygen and cerebral blood flow (Hagberg et al., Mitophagy is a crucial process to maintain mitochondrial integrity, where damaged mitochondria can be degraded and the intact components can be recycled to generate new functional mitochondria (Benard and Karbowski, Here in the newborn male SE offspring, both fission and autophagosome markers were increased without changes in the fusion marker, suggesting the mitochondrial damage by maternal SE is irreparable
Mechanisms of action include modulation of resident microbes, enhancement of epithelial barrier functions, modulation of local and systemic immune responses, modulation of systemic metabolic responses, and systemic signaling via the nervous system (72, 76)
Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease
In the context of this invention, the term aging refers to the changes experienced by the skin with age (chronoaging) or through exposure to the sun (photoaging) or to environmental agents such as tobacco smoke, extreme climatic conditions of cold or wind, chemical contaminants or pollutants, and includes all the external visible and/or perceptible changes through touch, such as and not restricted to, the development of discontinuities on the skin such as wrinkles, fine lines, expression lines, stretch marks, furrows, irregularities or roughness, increase in the size of pores, loss of hydration, loss of elasticity, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness, loss of the capacity to recover from deformation, loss of resilience, sagging of the skin such as sagging cheeks, the appearance of bags under the eyes or the appearance of a double chin, among others, changes to the color of the skin such as marks, reddening, bags or the appearance of hyperpigmented areas such as age spots or freckles among others, anomalous differentiation, hyperkeratinization, elastosis, keratosis, hair loss, orange-peel skin, loss of collagen structure and other histological changes of the stratum corneum, of the dermis, epidermis, vascular system (for example the appearance of spider veins or telangiectasias) or of those tissues close to the skin, among others
