Luteolin's potential in neuroscience research: a promising flavonoid for cognitive support

Premature infants typically exhibit lower circulating levels of lutein, making them especially susceptible to oxidative stress during a critical window of brain and retinal development. This increased vulnerability underscores the potential value of lutein supplementation in preterm populations. Supplementing lutein may support neuroretinal maturation and broader neurodevelopmental outcomes, offering protective antioxidant effects and promoting cellular integrity in the developing nervous system. Addressing lutein deficiencies early could have lasting benefits for visual and cognitive function.

New research underscores that MASLD is much more than a liver condition. In a nationwide study of over 1 million adults, patients with MASLD had a 60% higher risk of chronic diarrhea, a 62% higher risk of IBS, and a significantly increased risk of GI cancers. Experts say this highlights the need for greater awareness of the gut–liver connection and its impact on overall digestive health. 🧠 “If we can control MASLD, we may be able to control functional diarrhea, IBS, or constipation,” said lead author Dr. Rishi Chowdhary. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ejnyNDkt #MASLD #Gastroenterology #IBS #LiverHealth #ACG2025 #GutHealth

Being a hepatologist means you diagnose a LOT of heart failure 1. Ascites, often with high total protein (>2.5 g/dL) 2. ALT > 400 is most often due to ischemic hepatitis. This is caused most by venous congestion and less by systemic hypotension (which can be transient or a relative dip). echo often unhelpful. 3. Neither rare nor common: Acute kidney injury can cardiorenal and can look like hepatorenal syndrome. Best distinguished with point of care ultrasound. Fat, non-collapsible IVC. Does NOT benefit from albumin!

Mainstream coverage of testosterone therapy is finally catching up — but it’s still missing the mark. A recent Fox News piece on men’s hormone health got part of the story right: testosterone naturally declines after age 25, affecting energy, metabolism, mood, and long-term health. But it also repeated outdated misconceptions about “thick blood” and prostate cancer risk — both of which have been disproven by current research. As Dr. John Carrozzella of the Florida Center for Hormones & Wellness explains: ➡️ Testosterone therapy, when properly managed, reduces cardiovascular and metabolic risk ➡️ Balanced hormones support prostate health, not harm it ➡️ The biggest danger isn’t therapy itself — it’s misinformation that keeps men from getting help For over 15 years, Dr. Carrozzella has led the way in evidence-based hormone optimization. This isn’t about vanity — it’s about vitality, cognition, and disease prevention. 👉 Learn more about our approach to men’s hormone health: https://lnkd.in/eSFdycYf #HormoneHealth #MensWellness #TestosteroneTherapy #Endocrinology #HealthEducation #LongevityMedicine #WellnessLeadership #FCHW

The decline of Estrogen is not just a menopausal shift; it's a systemic domino effect impacting bone density, cardiovascular health, and neurological function. Treating this decline requires a strategic, bioidentical solution. Estradiol Capsules are the cornerstone of precision HRT, delivering the most abundant and active form of estrogen, chemically identical to the body's own, to restore core hormonal command. This is a definitive intervention that moves beyond symptom management to: - Mitigate Systemic Risk: Slowing bone loss and supporting cardiovascular integrity. - Restore Comfort: Providing trusted relief from vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) and supporting tissue integrity. - Stabilise Command: Positively influencing mood, cognition, and overall vitality. We reject synthetic compromise. Estradiol defines the reliable, predictable results your patients require for a truly elevated quality of life.

New research published in the Foundation’s journal Crohn’s & Colitis 360 found that people with IBD who use GLP-1 medications—commonly prescribed for diabetes and obesity—had a lower risk of major heart-related complications. The findings suggest these therapies may offer protective cardiovascular benefits for individuals living with IBD. Read more in Crohn’s & Colitis 360: https://bit.ly/4oBTPkB
