This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed the effects of aged garlic extract (AGE) on immune function in 120 healthy adults aged 21–50 years. Participants received either 2.56 g/day of AGE or a placebo for 90 days during the cold and flu season. The study found that AGE supplementation enhanced the
This 2024 review article delves into the intricate relationship between ferroptosis—a regulated, iron-dependent form of cell death—and the immune system. It highlights how ferroptosis influences both innate and adaptive immunity, affecting processes such as infection response, autoimmunity, and tumor immunity. The review discusses the dual role of ferroptosis in promoting
This systematic review evaluates the effects of functional amino acids—specifically L-Arginine, L-Glutamine, and L-Glutamate—on gut barrier function and immune health in post-weaning piglets. The findings suggest that supplementing these amino acids beyond standard nutritional requirements enhances gut morphology, tight junction integrity, and immune response, especially during the stressful weaning period.
