“…In addition to their antioxidant role, these compounds are also antimicrobial [ 4 , 14 , 15 ] and anti-inflammatory [ 16 ], being that all these properties are associated with the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases, cancers and rheumatic pathologies [ 10 , 17 ]. Nevertheless, EVOO has always had a big impact on cardiovascular diseases [ 18 , 19 ] and it also seems to positively modulate the intestinal microbiota [ 20 , 21 ]. Although it is clear the relationship between antioxidant intake, the homeostasis of the redox systems and their modulation of immune system activities and inflammation [ 22 ], little is known about the effect of EVOO on the immune system (IS).…”

Maternal breast milk plays a key role in providing newborns with passive immunity and stimulating the maturation of an infant’s immune system, protecting them from many diseases. It is known that diet can influence the immune system of lactating mothers and the composition of their breast milk. The aim of this study was to establish if a supplementation during the gestation and lactation of Lewis rats with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), due to the high proportion of antioxidant components in its composition, has an impact on the mother’s immune system and on the breast milk’s immune composition. For this, 10 mL/kg of either EVOO, refined oil (control oil) or water (REF group) were orally administered once a day to rats during gestation and lactation periods. Immunoglobulin (Ig) concentrations and gene expressions of immune molecules were quantified in several compartments of the mothers. The EVOO group showed higher IgA levels in both the breast milk and the mammary glands than the REF group. In addition, the gene expression of IgA in mammary glands was also boosted by EVOO consumption. Overall, EVOO supplementation during gestation and lactation is safe and does not negatively affect the mother’s immune system while improving breast milk immune composition by increasing the presence of IgA, which could be critical for an offspring’s immune health.

The large tree species Terminalia catappa is a member of the Combretaceae family and is mainly found in tropical climates. They are commonly cultivated for shade because they have huge, dense foliage. Numerous polyphenols, including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and phytosterols, are present in the leaves. In this study, the green chemical method was used to extract polyphenols from dried green almond leaves. They were employed in the synthesis of Cu2O nanoparticles as a reducing agent. FTIR and UV–Vis were used to describe the leaf extract of Terminalia catappa after the chlorophyll was removed. Copper salt was used to create Cu2O nanoparticles via a reduction process. The extract's potential for photocatalytic dye degradation has also been explored. The obtained Cu2O had a spherical shape with dimensions of 50–100 nm, and its band gap energy reached 1.945 eV to remove methylene blue from aqueous media under visible light irradiation conditions. At an initial MB concentration of 10 ppm, the decomposition efficiency reached 71.99% after only 2 h of exposure to simulated sunlight. The decomposition process occurred according to a pseudo-first-order kinetic model with a rate constant of 0.0084 min−1.
