Sanguisorba officinalis L. Ameliorates Hepatic Steatosis and Fibrosis by Modulating Oxidative Stress, Fatty Acid Oxidation, and Gut Microbiota in CDAHFD-Induced Mice.

A study found that a 95% ethanolic Sweet Orange (SO) extract (SOEE) has potential in inhibiting hepatic steatosis and fibrosis by regulating oxidative stress, fatty acid oxidation, and gut microbiota composition. This could be beneficial for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Overview on the Polyphenol Avenanthramide in Oats (Avena sativa Linn.) as Regulators of PI3K Signaling in the Management of Neurodegenerative Diseases.

A group of compounds called Avenanthramides found in oats have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. They can potentially modulate the PI3K signaling pathway, which is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. More research is needed to understand how they work and their potential as a therapeutic strategy.

Antihypertensive Effects of an Optimized Aged Garlic Extract in Subjects with Grade I Hypertension and Antihypertensive Drug Therapy: A Randomized, Triple-Blind Controlled Trial.

An aged black garlic extract with low doses of SAC lowers blood pressure in Grade I hypertensive individuals on medication. It increases nitric oxide and antioxidant capacity, reduces uric acid levels and ACE activity, without affecting inflammation or endothelial function.
