P-methoxycinnamic diesters from carnauba wax powder (PCO - C) – cinnamic acid derivate – have been associated with new properties such as hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycaemic effects in mice. The present study aimed to investigate the safety profile of PCO - C by evaluating the subchronic oral toxicity, genotoxicity and mutagenicity using in vivo experimental models. Therefore, for the present r...
The pursuit of cholesterol lowering natural products with less side e ects is needed for controlling dyslipidemia and reducing the increasing toll of cardiovascular diseases that are associated with morbidity and mortality worldwide. The present study aimed at the examining e ects of p-methoxycinnamic acid diesters (PCO-C) from carnauba (Copernicia prunifera)-derived wax on cytotoxic, genotoxic responses in vit...
This study aimed to review findings of scientific articles which the use of proteomic tools made it possible to characterize the metabolic profile of obese individuals. We searched the electronic databases: Scielo, PubMed, Lilacs and capes. The time period was defined as 10 years, having as main keywords: proteomics, proteome, obesity, biomarkers. The use of serum proteomic techniques proposed prognostic marker...
