Urolithins, metabolites produced by the gut microbiota from the polyphenols ellagitannins
and ellagic acid, are discovered by the research group in humans almost 20 years ago …

Bioactive compounds in functional foods, medicinal plants and others are considered
attractive value-added molecules based on their wide range of bioactivity. It is clear that an …

Background Previous studies have linked the Mediterranean diet (MED) with improved
cardiometabolic health, showing preliminary evidence for a mediating role of the gut …

Background Mediterranean (MED) diet is a rich source of polyphenols, which benefit
adiposity by several mechanisms. We explored the effect of the green-MED diet, twice …

Background The effect of diet on age-related brain atrophy is largely unproven. Objectives
We aimed to explore the effect of a Mediterranean diet (MED) higher in polyphenols and …

Background Epigenetic age is an estimator of biological age based on DNA methylation; its
discrepancy from chronologic age warrants further investigation. We recently reported that …

Background The capacity of a polyphenol-enriched diet to modulate the epigenome in vivo
is partly unknown. Given the beneficial metabolic effects of a Mediterranean (MED) diet …

The ability of plants to respond to environmental fluctuations is supported by acclimatory
adjustments in plant form and function that may require several days and development of a …

Background We recently reported that Mediterranean (MED) and green-MED diets
significantly attenuated age-related brain atrophy by∼ 50% within 18 mo. Objective The …

Microbial metabolites measured using NMR may serve as markers for physiological or
pathological host–microbe interactions and possibly mediate the beneficial effects of …
