Objective To study the relationship between exercise and malnourishment because recent evidence suggests that exercise can cause the benefi cial adaptation of antioxidant systems, whereas malnourishment can cause harmful adaptation of these systems. Methods Thirty-two female Fischer rats were equally divided into Sedentary Control, Trained Control, Sedentary Malnourished and Trained Malnourished groups. The tra...
The goal of this work was to verify whether malnutrition causes modifications in lipid profile and if nutritional recovery associated or not with exercise (swimming, 30 minutes/day, five days/week during 8 weeks) can interfere in this process. Fifty two Fisher female rats were divided into six groups: Control sedentary (CS), control trained (CT), recovered sedentary (RS), malnourished sedentary (MS) and malnour...
The goal of the present work was to study the hepatic function of animals in a process of nutritional recovery associated or not with physical exercise (swimming 30 minutes/day during 8 weeks). Fifty two female Fisher rats were divided into six groups: Control Sedentary (CS), Control Trained (CT), Recovered Sedentary (RS), Recovered Trained (RT), Malnourished Sedentary (MS) and Malnourished Trained (MT). We hav...
The objective of the present work was to study nutritional and biochemical parameters of female rats submitted to protein calorie malnutrition after birth and subsequent nutritional recovery, associated or not with physical exercise (swimming 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week during 8 weeks). 32 female Fisher rats were used which were divided into four groups: Sedentary Control (SC), Trained Control TC), Sedentary Re...
The goal of the present work was to study the oxidative stress and lipid profile in malnourished animals submitted to physical exercise (swimming 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week during 8 weeks). Twenty eight female Fisher rats were divided into four groups: Sedentary Control (SC), Trained Control (TC), Sedentary Malnourished (SM) and Trained Malnourished (TM). We have concluded that: a) the applied swimming physica...
A multimistura tem sido utilizada no Brasil pela Pastoral da Criança, em parceria com governos municipais, a fim de reduzir a desnutrição infantil. Não obstante, a eficácia deste suplemento tem sido constantemente arguida, devido à possível presença de fatores antinutricionais. No presente trabalho descrevemos a avaliação biológica de um suplemento contendo milho QPM BR473. Trinta e seis ratos Wistar machos, co...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of resistance exercise, such as weight-lifting (WL) on the biochemical parameters of lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease risk in the rats fed casein (control) or whey protein (WP) diets. Thirty-two male Fisher rats were randomly assigned to sedentary or exercise-trained groups and were fed control or WP diets. The WL program consisted of inducing the ani...
Objetivo Avaliar o efeito do consumo das proteínas do soro do leite sobre parâmetros do metabolismo lipídico, hepático e renal, a formação óssea e as defesas antioxidantes de ratos submetidos à dieta hipercolesterolemiante. Métodos Trinta e dois ratos Fisher adultos foram divididos em 4 grupos, recebendo as seguintes dietas: grupo C, dieta padrão; grupo H, dieta hipercolesterolemiante; grupo PS, dieta padrão e ...
