Abstract

Excessive dietary intake of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is a potential risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases.

  • AGEs may impair the intestinal barrier and disturb gut microbiota balance.
  • This impairment could trigger neuroinflammation and oxidative stress through the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
  • Plant extracellular vesicles (PEVs) can enhance the absorption of polyphenols and may work together with them to provide health benefits.
  • PEVs may exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties while modulating the gut environment.
  • PEVs-polyphenols delivery systems could potentially reduce AGEs-related neurotoxicity by supporting microbiota-gut-brain axis function.
