The pequi pulp oil (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) provides protection against agi...
Roll, Mariana Matos; Vilela, Ana Luísa Miranda; Longo, João Paulo Figueiró; Agostini-Costa, Tânia da Silveira; Grisolia, Cesar KoppeContinued exposure to reactive oxygen species and inflammation are the rationale behind aging theories and associated diseases. Scientific evidence corroborates the ethnomedicinal use of the oil of pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.), a typical Brazilian Cerrado fruit, against oxidative damage to biomolecules and inflammation. We aimed to investigate in vivo the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of pequi...

Dietary carotenoid-rich oil supplementation improves exercise-induced anisocytosis in runners : influences of haptoglobin, MnSOD (Val9Ala), CAT (21A/T) and GPX1 (Pro198Leu) gene polymorphisms in dilutional pseudoanemia ("sports anemia")">Dietary carotenoid-rich oil supplementation improves exercise-induced anisocyto...
Vilela, Ana Luísa Miranda; Akimoto, Arthur Kenji; Alves, Penha Cristina Zaidan; Pereira, Luiz Carlos da Silva; Guimarães, Maria de Nazaré KlautauPhysical training induces beneficial adaptation, whereas exhaustive exercises increase reactive oxygen-species generation, thereby causing oxidative damage in plasma and erythrocytes, fractions susceptible to lipid peroxidation. Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) is a Brazilian Cerrado fruit containing a carotenoid-rich oil. The aim was to investigate the effects of pequi-oil on exercise-induced oxidative damag...
Haptoglobin gene subtypes in three Brazilian population groups of different eth...
Vilela, Ana Luísa Miranda; Akimoto, Arthur Kenji; Alves, Penha Cristina Zaidan; Hiragi, Cássia de Oliveira; Penalva, Guilherme C.; Oliveira, Silviene F.Haptoglobin is a plasma hemoglobin-binding protein that limits iron loss during normal erythrocyte turnover and hemolysis, thereby preventing oxidative damage mediated by iron excess in the circulation. Haptoglobin polymorphism in humans, characterized by the Hp*1 and Hp*2 alleles, results in distinct phenotypes known as Hp1-1, Hp2-1 and Hp2-2, whose frequencies vary according to the ethnic origin of the popula...
