Diet rich in polyphenols can prevent inflammation in the elderly

Polyphenols in the foods that we eat can prevent inflammation in older people, since they alter the intestinal microbiota and induce the production of the indole 3-propionic acid (IPA), a metabolite derived from the degradation of tryptophan due to intestinal bacteria.

Adults with primary glomerular disease have high cardiovascular risk, study shows

Among almost 2,000 adults with primary glomerular disease followed for a median of 6.8 years, risk of cardiovascular events including coronary artery, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular events, and death due to myocardial infarction or stroke was 2.5-fold higher compared to the general population.
