Raspberry protective role in inflammatory diseases: An overview.

) are abundant in bioactive constituents, especially polyphenols like anthocyanins, flavanols, phenolic acids, urolithin A, and ellagic acid, all of which possess notable anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. These compounds have been shown to regulate various inflammatory signaling pathways, including MAPKs, NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, AP-1, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, CD40, nitric oxide (NO), caspases, and the JAK-STAT pathway. Studies have emphasized their broad pharmacological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, gastroprotective, anti-obesity, skin depigmenting, and bone-regenerative properties. This review emphasizes mechanistic insights into raspberries' protective roles in managing inflammatory-related disorders, particularly cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative conditions, and cancer, and highlights their therapeutic potential.
