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...
Soybean Flour Fortified with Gryllus assimilis Powder to Increase Iron Bioavail...
Barnabé, Michele Lílian da Fonseca; Vicente, Laura Célia de Oliveira Souza; Martins, Karina Vitoria Cipriana; Lacerda, Gabrieli FernandesInsects like Gryllus assimilis have an excellent nutritional profile, including iron. However, the bioavailability of this iron and its effects on intestinal health and oxidative balance remain unclear. To enhance acceptance, insects can be used in powder form and combined with common flours. Objective: This study evaluates the effects of Gryllus assimilis powder, alone or with soy flour, on iron bioavailabilit...
Effects of Tryptophan and Physical Exercise on the Modulation of Mechanical Hyp...
Rezende, Rafael Marins; Coimbra, Roney Santos; Kohlhoff, Markus; Favarato, Lukiya Silva Campos; Martino, Hércia Stampini DuarteThough the mechanisms are not fully understood, tryptophan (Trp) and physical exercise seem to regulate mechanical hypersensitivity in fibromyalgia. Here, we tested the impact of Trp supplementation and continuous low-intensity aerobic exercise on the modulation of mechanical hypersensitivity in a fibromyalgia-like model induced by acid saline in female rats. Twelve-month-old femaleWistar rats were randomly div...
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...
Wild pineapple (Ananas bracteatus (Lindl.), Var. albus) harvested in forest pat...
Freitas, Gilberto Bernardo de; Paula Filho, Galdino Xavier de; Barreira, Tibério Fontenelle; Martino, Hércia Stampini DuarteNa zona rural do município de Viçosa, Minas Gerais, encontram-se fragmentos florestais que apresentam grande diversidade de frutas silvestres e alimentícias, sendo o abacaxi do mato (Ananas bracteatus (Lindl.), var. albus) uma das frutas de maior ocorrência. Tendo em vista que pouco se conhece a respeito das características nutricionais dessa fruta, este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar a caracterização fí...
Extruded sorghum consumption associated with a caloric restricted diet reduces ...
Cardoso, Leandro de Morais; Anunciação, Pamella Cristine; Alfenas, Rita de Cássia Gonçalves; Queiroz, Valéria Aparecida VieiraThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of sorghum intake on body composition and metabolic variables in overweight men. In a randomized controlled crossover study, 24 overweight men (25.6 ± 4.6 years) were randomly allocated into one of two treatments: extruded sorghum or extruded wheat. The study consisted of 2 periods of 8 weeks with at least 4 weeks of washout. Anthropometric, clinical and metabolic risk va...
Sensory evaluation and nutritional value of cakes prepared with whole flaxseed ...
Moraes, Érica Aguiar; Dantas, Maria Inês de Souza; Morais, Dayane de Castro; Silva, Cassiano Oliveira da; Castro, Fátima Aparecida Ferreira deO estudo teve por objetivos elaborar bolos contendo quatro diferentes níveis de farinha de linhaça (5, 15, 30 e 45%) em substituição parcial da farinha de trigo, calcular o valor nutricional do produto e avaliar a aceitação. A estabilidade oxidativa dos ácidos graxos poli-insaturados foi avaliada por meio do teste da peroxidação de lipídios, na farinha e nos bolos. O ácido linolênico foi quantificado por cromat...
The effect of micronized corn fiber on body weight, glycemia, and lipid metabol...
Thompson, Vanessa Barbosa de Moraes; Costa, Neuza Maria Brunoro; Martino, Hércia Stampini Duarte; Paes, Maria Cristina DiasDuring corn industrial dry milling, a residue rich in dietary fibers is generated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of micronized corn fiber (MCF) as part of a cafeteria diet in the macronutrient metabolism and body weight. Wistar male rats, with initial body weight of 249 ± 14 g (n = 13), received AIN-93M diet (Group 1) or cafeteria diet (Groups 2, 3 and 4), composed of commercial ration, cookies, frie...
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...
Effects of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) on calcium bioavailability and inflammati...
Silva, Bárbara Pereira da; Toledo, Renata Celi Lopes; Grancieri, Mariana; Martino, Hércia Stampini Duarte; Moreira, Maria Eliza de CastroChia is a good source of calcium, however it is not been previously reported its bioavailability associated with an inflammatory condition. Thus, the present study evaluated the effect of chia on calcium bioavailability, inflammation, and oxidative stress in Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet or standard diet for 35 days. Chia consumption resulted in lower calcium balance and calcium absorption and retention rates...
