Almost half of pregnant women globally are currently estimated to be overweight or obese. Rates of childhood obesity are also on the rise, in part because of increased consumption of dietary saturated fats. However, the long-term effect of peri- and postnatal high fat (HF) feeding on cognitive function and neuronal expression has not yet been investigated.

Background: A plant-focused, healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet enriched with dietary fiber, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fats, is well known to positively influence the gut microbiota. Conversely, a processed diet high in saturated fats and sugars negatively impacts gut diversity, potentially leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, and chronic, low-grade inflammation. Despite this understanding, the mechanisms by which the Mediterranean diet impacts the gut microbiota and its associated health benefits remain unclear.

Background: Red and processed meat consumption is extensively linked to chronic disease risk in observational studies, with robust meta-analyses demonstrating significant positive associations for colorectal, breast, endometrial, and lung cancers, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality. Dose-response relationships indicate elevated risks even at moderate intakes. Moreover, processed meats consistently show stronger detrimental effects than unprocessed red meats.

To improve understanding of the multifaceted nature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, in collaboration with the European Association for the Study of the Liver and the Latin American Association for the Study of the Liver, proposed a broader and more flexible definition, highlighting the role of underlying metabolic dysfunction. MASLD represents the most common chronic liver disease worldwide; however, the impact of the disease goes beyond its epidemiological aspects. Currently, the impact on patients and healthcare systems, due to hepatic and extrahepatic complications, is significant.
