Diet-Induced Rodent Obesity Is Prevented and the Fecal Microbiome Is Improved with Elderberry (Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis) Juice Powder.

Elderberry juice powder reduces diet-induced obesity in mice by altering the fecal microbiome, promoting physical activity, and increasing phenolic metabolite absorption. This can potentially be a natural and effective way to prevent obesity.

Puerarin mitigated LPS-ATP or HG-primed endothelial cells damage and diabetes-associated cardiovascular disease via ROS-NLRP3 signalling.

Puerarin (Pue) from Pueraria lobata protects against vascular damage induced by diabetes by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress through inactivating the ROS-NLRP3 signaling pathway. This could potentially lead to new treatments for diabetic vascular diseases.
