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. This is reported by Pon Velayutham Anandh Babu and co-workers in article number2300096. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Pterostilbene Enhances Thermogenesis and Mitochondrial Biogenesis by Activating the SIRT1/PGC ‐1α/SIRT3 Pathway to Prevent Western Diet‐Induced Obesity
ConclusionOverall, these findings suggest PSB and PIN as potential candidates for the improvement of obesity and gut microbiota dysbiosis. With its higher stability, PSB exerts a greater effect than PIN by promoting thermogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis via SIRT1 activation. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Front Cover: Cyclic Nigerosylnigerose Attenuates High ‐Fat Diet‐Induced Fat Deposition, Colonic Inflammation, and Abnormal Glucose Metabolism and Modifies Gut Immunoglobulin a Reactivity to Commensal Bacteria
Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2023,67,202200389DOI:10.1002/mnfr.202200389Oral administration of cyclic nigerosylnigerose (CNN), a dietary fiber, ameliorates abnormal glucose metabolism, fat deposition, and colonic inflammation in mice with high-fat diet-induced obesity. Impressively, the CNN-induced effects are accompanied by an alteration of gut immunoglobulin A (IgA) reactivity to commensal gut bacteria. This is reported by Takeshi Tsuruta and co-workers in article number2200389. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

Lacticaseibacillus paracasei K71 Alleviates UVB ‐Induced Skin Barrier Dysfunction by Attenuating Inflammation via Increased IL‐10 Production in Mice
ConclusionThese results indicate that K71 may alleviate UVB-induced skin barrier dysfunction by attenuating inflammation via increasing IL-10 production and that K71 RNAs may induce IL-10 production in macrophages. Therefore, K71 may be beneficial for preventing skin barrier dysfunction. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)
