Daidzein Ameliorate Hyperuricemia by Upregulating ABCG2 Expression via Activation of PPARγ and PI3K/AKT Pathways

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Hyperuricaemia is a chronic metabolic disorder arising from impaired purine metabolism, exhibiting marked gender disparities in its prevalence. Daidzein, possessing oestrogen‐like effects, promotes uric acid excretion and improves hepatic and renal function, thereby presenting potential utility as an adjunctive therapeutic agent for hyperuricaemia ...

Nutrigenomics of the Mediterranean Diet: Gene–Diet Interactions and Bioactive Compounds in Cardiovascular Health

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
The Mediterranean diet interacts with genetic and epigenetic backgrounds to modulate nutrigenomic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modification and microRNA regulation. These molecular effects reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, enhance nitric oxide bioavailability and lipid metabolism and translate into improved cardiometabolic ...

Impact of Iron (II) Chloride Treatment on the Physical and Metabolic Changes in Mungbean Sprouts

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
FeCl2 treatment darkened the seed coat color of mungbean sprouts without significantly affecting physical traits compared with the control (CK). In contrast, isoflavone aglycone contents were markedly increased, particularly in the seed coat and cotyledon.
