Abstract
Coffee and cocoa manufacturing produces large amounts of waste. Generated by-products contain bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, suitable for treating metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to compare the efficacy of aqueous extracts and flours from coffee pulp (CfPulp-E, CfPulp-F) and cocoa shell (CcShell-E, CcShell-F) to ameliorate MetS alterations induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Bioactive component content was assessed by HPLC/MS. C57BL/6 female mice were fed for 6 weeks with HFD followed by 6 weeks with HFD plus supplementation with one of the ingredients (500 mg/kg/day, 5 days/week), and compared to non-supplemented HFD and Control group fed with regular chow. Body weight, adipocyte size and browning (Mitotracker, confocal microscopy), plasma glycemia (basal, glucose tolerance test-area under the curve, GTT-AUC), lipid profile, and leptin were compared between groups. Cocoa shell ingredients had mainly caffeine, theobromine, protocatechuic acid, and flavan-3-ols. Coffee pulp showed a high content in caffeine, protocatechuic, and chlorogenic acids. Compared to Control mice, HFD group showed alterations in all parameters. Compared to HFD, CcShell-F significantly reduced adipocyte size, increased browning and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and normalized basal glycemia, while CcShell-E only increased HDL. Both coffee pulp ingredients normalized adipocyte size, basal glycemia, and GTT-AUC. Additionally, CfPulp-E improved hyperleptinemia, reduced triglycerides, and slowed weight gain, and CfPulp-F increased HDL. In conclusion, coffee pulp ingredients showed a better efficacy against MetS, likely due to the synergic effect of caffeine, protocatechuic, and chlorogenic acids. Since coffee pulp is already approved as a food ingredient, this by-product could be used in humans to treat obesity-related MetS alterations.

Abstract
(Poly)phenols have anti-diabetic properties that are mediated through the regulation of the main biomarkers associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin resistance (IR)), as well as the modulation of other metabolic, inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways. A wide range of human and pre-clinical studies supports these effects for different plant products containing mixed (poly)phenols (e.g., berries, cocoa, tea) and for some single compounds (e.g., resveratrol). We went through some of the latest human intervention trials and pre-clinical studies looking at (poly)phenols against T2DM to update the current evidence and to examine the progress in this field to achieve consistent proof of the anti-diabetic benefits of these compounds. Overall, the reported effects remain small and highly variable, and the accumulated data are still limited and contradictory, as shown by recent meta-analyses. We found newly published studies with better experimental strategies, but there were also examples of studies that still need to be improved. Herein, we highlight some of the main aspects that still need to be considered in future studies and reinforce the messages that need to be taken on board to achieve consistent evidence of the anti-diabetic effects of (poly)phenols.

Abstract
Vibrio cholerae is the causative organism of the cholera epidemic, and it remains a serious global health problem, particularly the multidrug-resistant strain, despite the development of several generic drugs and vaccines over time. Natural products have long been exploited for the treatment of various diseases, and this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of coffee beans and coffee by-products against V. cholerae antimicrobial resistant strains. A total of 9 aqueous extracts were investigated, including light coffee (LC), medium coffee (MC), dark coffee (DC), dried green coffee (DGC), dried red coffee (DRC), fresh red coffee (FRC), Arabica leaf (AL), Robusta leaf (RL), and coffee pulp (CP). The influential coffee phytochemicals, i.e., chlorogenic acid (CGA), caffeic acid (CA), and caffeine, were determined using HPLC. The antibacterial properties were tested by agar well-diffusion techniques, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were further determined against 20 V. cholerae isolates. The results revealed that all tested strains were sensitive to coffee extracts, with MIC and MBC values in the range of 3.125-25.0 mg/mL and 12.5-50.0 mg/mL, respectively. With a MIC of 6.25 mg/mL, DGC, DRC, and CP appeared to be the most effective compounds against 65, 60, and 55% of clinical strains, respectively. The checkerboard assay revealed that the combination of coffee extract and tetracycline was greater than either treatment alone, with the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) ranging from 0.005 to 0.258. It is important to note that CP had the lowest FICI (0.005) when combined with tetracycline at 60 ng/mL, which is the most effective dose against V. cholerae six-drug resistance strains (azithromycin, colistin, nalidixic acid, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim), with a MIC of 47.5 μg/mL (MIC alone = 12.5 mg/mL). Time killing kinetics analysis suggested that CA might be the most effective treatment for drug-resistant V. cholerae as it reduced bacterial growth by 3 log10 CFU/mL at a concentration of 8 mg/mL within 1 h, via disrupting membrane permeability, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This is the first report showing that coffee beans and coffee by-product extracts are an alternative for multidrug-resistant V. cholerae treatment.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is amongst the most common chronic diseases, being responsible for various problems in humans and contributing to increased mortality rates worldwide. Fructooligosaccharide, which can be produced from the roots of burdock (Arctium lappa L.), has been shown to have a wide range of pharmacological proprieties, including antiviral, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and antidiabetic effects. Moreover, burdock also contains chlorogenic acid, which has been used in traditional medicine as an antioxidant. Considering its natural origin and minimal toxicity, burdock fructooligosaccharides (BFO) has gained considerable attention from researchers owing its wide, efficient, and beneficial action against DM. Although the effectiveness of fructooligosaccharide and chlorogenic acid has been extensively discussed, limited information is available on the application of burdock for DM treatment. In this review, we discuss the beneficial contributions, and the recent in vitro and in vivo analytical findings on A. lappa extract as DM therapy.

Abstract
Kidney diseases are expected to become the fifth leading cause of death by 2040. Several physiological failures classified as pre-, intra-, and post-renal factors induce kidney damage. Diabetes, liver pathologies, rhabdomyolysis, and intestinal microbiota have been identified as pre-renal factors, and lithiasis or blood clots in the ureters, prostate cancer, urethral obstructions, prostate elongation, and urinary tract infections are post-renal factors. Additionally, the nephrotoxicity of drugs has been highlighted as a crucial factor inducing kidney injuries. Due to the adverse effects of drugs, it is necessary to point to other alternatives to complement the treatment of these diseases, such as nephroprotective agents. Plants are a wide source of nephroprotective substances and can have beneficial effects in different levels of the physiological pathways which lead to kidney damage. In traditional medicines, plants are used as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, diuretics, and anticancer agents, among other benefits. However, the mechanism of action of some plants empirically used remains unknown and scientific data are required to support their nephroprotective effects. The present work reviewed the plants with a beneficial effect on kidney diseases. The classification of nephroprotective plants according to the clinical definition of pre-renal, intrinsic, and post-renal factors is proposed to orient their use as complementary treatments.

Abstract
Wet coffee processing generates a large amount of coffee pulp waste that is mostly disposed of in the processing units. To reduce this waste and the associated environmental burden, an alternative strategy would be to exploit the coffee pulp to produce a durable and stable consumable product. Accordingly, a puree produced from Robusta coffee pulp was investigated in relation to its physicochemical and sensory properties. After thermal and chemical stabilization, the obtained puree (pH 3.6) was found to exhibit a multimodal particle size distribution, shear-thinning behavior, and lower discoloration, as well as an antioxidant capacity of 87.9 µmolTE/gDM. The flavor of the puree was examined by sensory evaluation and the corresponding analyses of aroma-active volatile compounds, as determined using aroma extract dilution analyses (AEDA) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry (GC-MS/O). The puree was characterized by dominant fruity (4.4), floral (3.4), citrusy (3.3) and hay-like (3.3) odor impressions. The aroma-active compounds were predominantly aldehydes, acids, and lactones, whereby (E)-β-damascenone, geraniol, 4-methylphenol, 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one, and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde exhibited the highest flavor dilution (FD) factor (1024), thereby indicating their high impact on the overall aroma of the puree. This study demonstrates an approach to stabilize coffee pulp to produce a sweet, fruity puree with comparable physical properties to other fruit purees and that can be used as a new and versatile flavoring ingredient for various food applications.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common and severe complication of diabetes mellitus. If left untreated, DKD can advance to end stage renal disease that requires either dialysis or kidney replacement. While numerous mechanisms underlie the pathogenesis of DKD, oxidative stress driven by NADH/NAD+ redox imbalance and mitochondrial dysfunction have been thought to be the major pathophysiological mechanism of DKD. In this review, the pathways that increase NADH generation and those that decrease NAD+ levels are overviewed. This is followed by discussion of the consequences of NADH/NAD+ redox imbalance including disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis and function. Approaches that can be applied to counteract DKD are then discussed, which include mitochondria-targeted antioxidants and mimetics of superoxide dismutase, caloric restriction, plant/herbal extracts or their isolated compounds. Finally, the review ends by pointing out that future studies are needed to dissect the role of each pathway involved in NADH-NAD+ metabolism so that novel strategies to restore NADH/NAD+ redox balance in the diabetic kidney could be designed to combat DKD.
