This study evaluated the relationship between ulcerative colitis and obesity, which are both chronic diseases characterized by inflammation increases in immune cells pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mice with induced 2 cycles of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) first fourth week experiment were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to induce obesity 8 weeks. The animals divided into 4 \ groups (control, colitis, HFD + HFD). Obesity alone did not raise histopathology scores, but combination worsened scores colon...
Capsaicin, a pungent compound in chili peppers, is described as having potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It also potential modulator of the immune system intestinal microbiota. Oral or rectal administration capsaicin has been studied to treat prevent colitis. However, those vias are often not well accepted due burning sensation that can cause. Our objective was evaluate whether application skin creams (0.075%) would be effective improving inflammation...
Pequi is the fruit of Caryocar brasiliense and its oil has a high concentration monounsaturated saturated fatty acids, which are anti- pro-atherogenic agents, respectively, carotenoids, give it antioxidant properties. Our objective was to study effect intake cholesterol-rich diet supplemented with pequi oil, compared same containing soybean on atherosclerosis development, oxidative stress in atherosclerosis-susceptible LDL receptor-deficient mice (LDLr(-/-), C57BL/6-background). Female were...
The classical renin-angiotensin system pathway has been recently updated with the identification of additional molecules [such as angiotensin converting enzyme 2, ANG-(1-7), and Mas receptor] that might improve some pathophysiological processes in chronic inflammatory diseases. In present study, we focused on potential protective role receptor activation mouse lipid profile, liver steatosis, atherogenesis. Mas/apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-double-knockout (DKO) mice (based C57BL/6 strain 20 wk...
ABSTRACT Apolipoprotein E deficient (Apo E−/−) mice are more resistant to the development of obesity compared C57BL/6 wild type mice. They also hold a high basal oxidative status due loss antioxidant action apolipoprotein E. Since is an inducer inflammation, we studied effect high‐fat diet on and stress in Apo E−/− for 9 weeks. The results confirmed that fed increase both body weight adiposity Despite this, presented higher was enhanced by diet. Macrophage infiltration, macrophage forming...
Capsaicin, a bioactive compound found in peppers, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-lipidemic properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of capsaicin on atherosclerosis progression.
White tea is an unfermented made from young shoots of Camellia sinensis protected sunlight to avoid polyphenol degradation. Although its levels catechins are higher than those green (derived the same plant), there no studies addressing relationship between this and obesity associated with oxidative stress.The objective study was evaluate effect white on complications using a diet induced model. Forty male C57BL/6 mice were fed high-fat induce (Obese group) or supplemented 0.5% extract + WTE)...
Abstract Gluten is only partially digested by intestinal enzymes and can generate peptides that alter permeability, facilitating bacterial translocation, thus affecting the immune system. Few studies addressed role of diet with gluten in development colitis. Therefore, we investigate effects wheat gluten-containing on evolution sodium dextran sulphate (DSS)-induced Mice were fed a standard without (colitis group) or 4·5 % + gluten) for 15 d received DSS solution (1·5 %, w/v) instead water...
Caryocar brasiliense (popular name pequi) is widely consumed by the population of Brazilian Savannah. This fruit has a high concentration monounsaturated fatty acids that can influence positively lipid profile. In addition, pequi also an important saturated which, in turn, associated with atherosclerosis risk. study aimed to investigate effect pequi-supplemented diet on blood and glucose levels hepatic histology. Female Albino swiss mice were divided into three groups fed standard chow...
Background Hookworms infect millions of people worldwide and can cause severe clinical symptoms in their hosts. Prospective cohort studies Brazil show high rates hookworm reinfection malnourished children compared to well-nourished children, despite previous treatment. Additionally, soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections worsen the nutritional status affected populations. Therefore, this study aims clarify effects host malnutrition during Ancylostoma ceylanicum infection how affects...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic disorder in world. We have seen that gluten intake exacerbated obesity and atherosclerosis apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice. In this study, we investigated effect of consumption on inflammation oxidative stress mice with NAFLD. Male ApoE-/- were fed a gluten-free (GF-HFD) or gluten-containing (G-HFD) high-fat diet for 10 weeks. Blood, liver, spleen collected to perform analyses. The animals group had increased...
Food allergy is an abnormal immune response to antigens introduced into the body through food. Its prevalence has increased in developed and developing countries. Natural products are traditionally used alleviate treat diseases, diet can play a role both prevention management of food allergy. The effects capsaicin as anti-oxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory energy expenditure suppression fat accumulation have been demonstrated. This study evaluated effect oral supplementation with on model.
