TL;DR: The chemical composition and the variety of beneficial nutritional and health effects of manuka honey are reviewed, with special attention given to its polyphenolic composition and other bioactive compounds, such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal.

TL;DR: This review summarizes and updates the most recent findings concerning the mechanisms through which different dietary compounds from plant foods affect mitochondria functionality in healthy and pathological in vitro and in vivo models, paying particular attention to the pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and apoptosis.

TL;DR: The results obtained in this work highlight the health benefit of strawberries against inflammatory and oxidative stress in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and investigate for the first time the possible involved molecular mechanisms.

TL;DR: One of the possible mechanisms by which Manuka honey exhibits its ability to promote wound healing could be due to its capacity to improve the antioxidant response by activating AMPK phosphorylation and the ARE response.

TL;DR: This work reviews, on the basis of the in vitro and in vivo evidence, the main berries' phytochemical compounds and their possible mechanisms of action on pathways involved in several type of diseases, with particular attention to cancer, inflammation, neurodegeneration, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
