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...
Bacupari peel extracts (Garcinia brasiliensis) reduces the biometry, lipogenesi...
Moreira, Maria Eliza de Castro; Araújo, Fernanda de Oliveira; Sousa, Andressa Rodrigues de; Toledo, Renata Celi Lopes; Benjamin, Laércio dos AnjosThe aim was to evaluate the effect of the ethanol extract of bacupari peel (EEB) on biometric measurements, hepatic lipogenesis and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese Wistar rats. Chemical analysis of the bacupari peel extract identified 7-epiclusianone as the major constituent (140.02 mg/g) followed by morelloflavone (35.86 mg/g). Animals treated with high fat diet plus EEB (BHFD...
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...
Synbiotic meal decreases uremic toxins in hemodialysis individuals: A placebo-c...
Lopes, Rita de Cássia Stampini Oliveira; Theodoro, Jaqueline Maciel Vieira; Silva, Bárbara Pereira da; Queiroz, Valéria Aparecida VieiraGeneration of uremic toxins p-cresylsulfate (p-CS), indoxyl sulfate (IS) and indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) in hemodialysis (HD) individuals may be associated with the gut flora and recognized markers of disease progression. This study investigated the effect of synbiotic meal on uremic toxins in HD individuals. We conducted randomized singleblind and placebo-controlled intervention study with 58 HD subjects (20F/3...
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...
Extruded sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) reduces metabolic risk of hepatic steatos...
Sousa, Andressa Rodrigues de; Moreira, Maria Eliza de Castro; Toledo, Renata Celi Lopes; Benjamin, Laércio dos Anjos; Queiroz, Valéria Aparecida VieiraThe study investigated the effect of extruded sorghum flour (ESF) in a high fat diet (HFD) on biometric measurements and hepatic lipogenesis. Male Wistar rats were fed a normal diet (AIN-93M), HFD, HFD plus ESF replacing 50% cellulose and 100% corn starch (HFDS50), or HFD plus ESF replacing 100% cellulose and 100% corn starch (HFDS100) for eight weeks. ESF reduced the body mass index and liver weight of obese r...
Anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities...
Sousa, Grasiely Faria de; Aguilar, Mariana Guerra de; Dias, Danielle Ferreira; Takahashi, Jacqueline Aparecida; Moreira, Maria Eliza de CastroThe new pentacyclic triterpenoids friedel-1-en-3,16-dione (1), 1α,29-dihydroxyfriedelan-3-one (2) and 16β,28,29-trihydroxyfriedelan-3-one (3) were isolated from Maytenus robusta branches in addition to the known, but new for this species, triterpenoid 12α,29-dihydroxyfriedelan-3-one (4). The structures and stereochemistry of the novel triterpenoids were established by IR, 1D/2D NMR and HR-APCIMS spectral data. ...
