Can physical exercise modify intestinal integrity and gut microbiota compositio...
Pereira, Stephanie Michelin Santana; São José, Vinicius Parzanini Brilhante de; Silva, Alessandra da; Martins, Karina Vitoria CiprianaThere is little evidence about how physical exercise affects the gut microbiota since studies in the field are relatively recent. Thus, we aimed to systematically review the main effects of regular physical exercise on the intestinal integrity and microbiota composition in animal models, discuss the mechanisms involved, and indicate future directions. Searches for original articles were performed in PubMed/MEDL...
Blueberry Extract and Resistance Training Prevent Left Ventricular Redox Dysreg...
Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Soares, Leôncio Lopes; Guimarães-Ervilha, Luiz Otávio; Costa, Sebastião Felipe Ferreira; Generoso, Sara Caco dos LúcioTo investigate whether the regular administration of blueberry extract and low-intensity resistance exercise training (RT), either alone or in combination, during the development of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in rats protect the left ventricle (LV) from redox dysregulation and pathological remodeling. Groups of seven male Wistar rats were formed for the experiment: ...
A high fat diet does not affect the iron bioavailability in Wistar rats fed wit...
Silva, Bárbara Pereira da; Matyelka, Jéssika Camila da Silva; Moreira, Maria Eliza de Castro; Toledo, Renata Celi Lopes; Lucia, Ceres Mattos DellaThis study evaluated the effect of chia on the iron bioavailability and gene expression of proteins involved in iron metabolism in animals fed with a high fat diet and a standard diet. Four experimental groups were tested (n = 8): standard diet + ferrous sulfate (SD + FS), standard diet + chia (SD + C), high fat diet + ferrous sulfate (HFD + FS), high fat diet + chia (HFD + C). The hemoglobin gain, hemoglobin r...
Impact of rice fortified with iron, zinc, thiamine and folic acid on laboratory...
Lucia, Ceres Mattos Della; Santos, Laura Luiza Menezes; Silva, Bárbara Pereira da; Anunciação, Pamella Cristine; Alfenas, Rita de Cássia GonçalvesA fortificação de alimentos constitui importante estratégia para o controle da deficiência de micronutrientes e apresenta como vantagens a alta cobertura populacional e o fato de não alterar hábitos alimentares. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto do uso de arroz fortificado (Ultra Rice® - UR®) sobre o estado nutricional de pré-escolares. Noventa e nove crianças matriculadas em duas creches f...
Chia seed shows good protein quality, hypoglycemic effect and improves the lipi...
Silva, Bárbara Pereira da; Dias, Desirrê Morais; Moreira, Maria Eliza de Castro; Toledo, Renata Celi Lopes; Matta, Sérgio Luis Pinto daChia has been consumed by the world population due to its high fiber, lipids and proteins content. The objective was to evaluate the protein quality of chia untreated (seed and flour) and heat treated (90 °C/20 min), their influence on glucose and lipid homeostasis and integrity of liver and intestinal morphology of Wistar rats. 36 male rats, weanling, divided into six groups which received control diet (casein...
Comparing sorghum and wheat whole grain breakfast cereals: Sensorial acceptance...
Anunciação, Pamella Cristine; Cardoso, Leandro de Morais; Gomes, Jaqueline Vieira Piovesana; Lucia, Ceres Mattos Della; Carvalho, Carlos Wanderlei PilerThe sensory acceptance and the content of bioactive compounds of whole-sorghum and whole-wheat breakfast cereals were compared. Sensory acceptance was assessed using the Food Action Rating Scale. 3-Deoxyanthocyanidins, flavones and flavanones were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection, and vitamin E by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Total phenolics and antioxi...
Chemical composition of Brazilian chia seeds grown in different places
Silva, Bárbara Pereira da; Anunciação, Pamella Cristine; Matyelka, Jessika Camila da Silva; Lucia, Ceres Mattos Della; Martino, Hércia Stampini DuarteThis study investigated and compared the occurrence and concentration of macronutrients, moisture, ash, dietary fiber, fatty acids, minerals, carotenoids, vitamins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, phytate and tannin in Brazilian chia seeds grown in the states of Mato Grosso (MT) and Rio Grande do Sul (RS). High concentrations of lipids (31.2 g.100 g−1, on average), proteins (18.9 g.100 g−1...
Otimização de método para análise de folatos em hortaliças folhosas por cromato...
Lucia, Ceres Mattos Della; Silva, Elizangela Rodrigues da; Ribeiro, Sônia Machado Rocha; Pinheiro-Sant'Ana, Helena MariaWe optimized a method for the determination of three main folate isoforms in leafy vegetables. Analysis was carried out by HPLC, using gradient of elution and fluorescence detection. Limits of quantification were 2 ng/mL; 2 ng/mL and 28 ng/mL for tetrahydrofolate (THF), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) and 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (5-FTHF), respectively. Recovery rates of THF, 5-MTHF and 5-FTHF varied from 87....
Controle de perdas de carotenóides em hortaliças preparadas em unidade de alime...
Lucia, Ceres Mattos Della; Campos, Flávia Milagres; Mata, Gardênia Márcia Silva Campos; Sant'Ana, Helena Maria PinheiroObjetivou-se avaliar procedimentos de manipulação visando o controle de perdas de β-caroteno e licopeno em couve e tomate preparados em uma Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN) hospitalar. Os critérios adotados não utilizados previamente pela UAN foram: armazenamento por 24 h sob refrigeração (10°C), sanitização por 15 min e distribuição logo após o preparo. As hortaliças foram coletadas após a recepção e de...
Conteúdo de riboflavina em leite e produtos lácteos e comparação com o valor an...
Abranches, Monise Viana; Lucia, Ceres Mattos Della; Rocha, Fernanda Izabel Garcia da; Moraes, Vanessa Barbosa de; Gonçalves, Lisângela FernandesO leite e seus derivados são alimentos de alto valor nutricional, muito presentes na dieta do brasileiro e ricos em ribofl avina, cuja defi ciência é endêmica em várias regiões do mundo. Esse estudo investigou o conteúdo de ribofl avina em leites e derivados e avaliou se os valores encontrados são condizentes com os declarados no rótulo. Foram avaliadas 3 marcas de leite integral, 2 de leite desnatado, 2 de que...
