Cashew apple fiber prevents high fat diet-induced obesity in mice: an NMR metab...
Carvalho, Diana Valesca; Silva, Lorena Mara Alexandre; Alves Filho, Elenilson Godoy; Santos, Flávia Almeida; Lima, Renan Pereira deDietary fiber intake plays an important role in the prevention of obesity. This study aimed at investigating the effect of cashew fiber without low molecular weight compounds (CABwc) on obesity prevention and metabolomics in a murine model of diet-induced obesity. Mice were fed a chow diet (CD), a high-fat diet (HFD) or a high-fat diet supplemented with CABwc (10%) (HFD-CABwc) for 15 weeks. The body weight, abd...

The triterpenoid alpha, beta-amyrin prevents the impaired aortic vascular react...
Santos, Flávia Almeida; Batista-Lima, Francisco José; Nunes, Paulo Iury Gomes; Viana, Ana Flávia Seraine CustódioTo characterize the pro tective effects of the triterpenoid mixture alpha, beta-amyrin (AMY, 20 mg/kg, during 15 days) on the reactivity of isolated aorta of high- fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Male Swiss mice were fed with HFD or normal diet (ND) for 15 weeks. Contractions of thoracic aorta in response to KCl or phen- ylephrine (PHE) and relaxation by acetylcholine (ACh) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were...
