Registered summary

Introduction: Increasing sedentary lifestyle, microbiota imbalance and exercise-induced muscle fatigue are among the main causes of metabolic stress and performance decline, even in young individuals. The potential effects of functional foods-particularly polyphenol and anthocyanin-rich beverages-on both gut microbiota and muscle performance have attracted attention in recent years. In this context, intervention studies focused on the gut-muscle axis represent a promising and valuable area of research. The full summary is on the listing.

Registered summary

Globally, the aging population is increasing rapidly, leading to a dramatic rise in the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by pathological hallmarks such as β-amyloid (Aβ) plaque accumulation, tau protein aggregation, synaptic loss, and widespread neuroinflammation. These processes impair key cognitive domains including attention, memory, executive function, and orientation, hindering independent daily functioning. The full summary is on the listing.
