Radiation-induced intestinal injury (RIII) occurs during instances of intentional or accidental radiation exposure. However, there are few effective treatments available for the prevention mitigation RIII currently. (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major polyphenol in green tea, possesses potent antioxidant activity and has been shown to be ameliorating many oxidative stress-related diseases. The therapeutic effects mechanism EGCG on have not yet determined. In present study, we...

This article begins by discussing the important impact of gut microbiome on obesity, emphasizing how changes in microbial diversity and composition can influence fat storage, energy extraction, metabolic health. It first outlines connection between microbes key obesity-related mechanisms such as accumulation, insulin resistance, systemic inflammation. Next, external elements like nutrition, medications, lifestyle, genetics that and, consequently, obesity outcomes are examined. Afterward,...
