Comparative studies of urolithins and their phase II metabolites on macrophage and neutrophil functions [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose Ellagitannins are high molecular weight polyphenols present in high quantities in various food products. They are metabolized by human and animal gut microbiota to postbiotic metabolites-urolithins, bioavailable molecules of a low molecular ...

Targeting aging with urolithin A in humans: A systematic review

Ageing Research Reviews
Urolithin A (UA) is a gut metabolite derived from ellagic acid. This systematic review assesses the potential geroprotective effect of UA in humans. In five studies including 250 healthy individuals, UA (10-1000 mg/day) for a duration ranging from 28 days to 4 months, showed a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effect and upregulated some mitochondrial ...

Dietary Polyphenols in Non‐Communicable Chronic Diseases: Neuro–Enteric Mechanisms, Multi‐Omics Biomarkers and Translational Opportunities

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This illustration highlights how dietary polyphenols from foods like berries, grapes, and green tea travel through the gut, where microbiota transform them into bioactive metabolites. These metabolites pass into the bloodstream, strengthen the gut barrier, and ultimately reach the brain, supporting neuroprotection through antioxidative and anti ...

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

The effects of urolithin A on poly I:C-induced microglial activation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Neuroinflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, including viral infections. Viruses can directly invade the brain and infect neuronal cells or indirectly trigger a “cytokine storm” in the periphery that eventually leads to microglial activation in the brain.
