The Longitudinal Effect of Ultra ‐Processed Food on the Development of Dyslipidemia/Obesity as Assessed by the NOVA System and Food Compass Score
ConclusionHigher UPF intakes assessed by the NOVA system and FCS are associated with increased incidences of dyslipidemia and obesity. Furthermore, NOVA-defined UPF shows a statistically significant negative association with AMED score, indicating poor diet quality. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Identifying Ferroptosis ‐Related Genes Associated with Weight Loss Outcomes and Regulation of Adipocyte Microenvironment
ConclusionsFerroptosis and its mediated inflammation play an important role in long-term weight control, and analyses of the role of ferroptosis-related genes(FRGs) in weight control may provide new potential therapeutic targets for long-term weight control. Anti-inflammatory diets that mitigate inflammatory responses and affect ferroptosis may be considered in the future to improve weight control. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Front Cover: Butyrate Improves Porcine Endometrial Epithelial Cell Receptivity via Enhancing Acetylation of Histone H3K9
Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2023,67,202200703DOI:10.1002/mnfr.202200703Butyrate improves the receptivity of porcine endometrial epithelial cells (PEECs), including inhibiting cellular proliferation, exhibiting more pinocytosis on cell surface, and increasing adhesiveness to embryonic trophoblast cells. Moreover, the increased level of acetylated histone H3K9ac in PEECs can contribute to the inhibition of cell proliferation and improvement of cell receptivity induced by butyrate. This is reported by Xianghua Yan and co-workers in article number2200703. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Overview of the Mechanistic Potential of Probiotics and Prebiotics in Cancer Chemoprevention
Factors attributing to the anticarcinogenic activity or the mechanistic potential of probiotics include maintenance of intestinal barrier function, modifying innate immune system, immunomodulation, intestinal microbiota metabolism, inhibition of host cell proliferation, preventing pathogen colonization, release of anticarcinogenic substances, and exerting selective cytotoxicity against tumor cells. AbstractDespite of strides in modern cancer therapeutic strategies, there has not been a successful cure for it until now and prognostic side effects and substantial toxicity to chemotherapy and subsequent homeostatic imbalance ...

Front Cover: Scientific Evidence for the Beneficial Effects of Dietary Blueberries on Gut Health: A Systematic Review
Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2023,67,202300096DOI:10.1002/mnfr.202300096Dietary blueberries enhance gut health by improving intestinal morphology, reducing gut permeability, suppressing oxidative stress, ameliorating gut inflammation, and modulating the composition and function of gut microbes. However, there are significant knowledge gaps in this field, and further studies are needed to establish the beneficial effects of blueberries on gut health.
