Age-related sarcopenia and altered gut microbiota: A systematic review

Conclusion: Age-related sarcopenia and gut microbiota alterations are intricately linked. Short-chain fatty acid metabolism, urolithin A, and bile acid production may be pivotal factors in the gut-muscle axis pathway. Supplementation with beneficial metabolite-associated microorganisms could enhance muscle function, mitigate muscle atrophy, and decelerate sarcopenia progression.

Enzyme Inhibition by Bioactive Compounds from Olive (Olea europaea L.) and Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.): Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies

Conclusion: The current evidence supports the view that olive and pomegranate polyphenols act as biologically versatile compounds with considerable pharmaceutical and nutraceutical potential. Future investigations integrating enzymology, metabolomics, molecular docking, and clinical validation will be essential for translating these promising in vitro findings into evidence-based therapeutic applications.
