Essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega3) are crucial to brain development and function, being relevant for behavioral performance. In the present study we examined influence of dietary omega3 in glutamatergic system on behavior parameters rats. Female rats received isocaloric diets, either with (omega3 group) or a deficient diet (D group). ontogeny experiments their litters, hippocampal immunocontent ionotropic NMDA AMPA receptors subunits (NR2 A\B GluR1, respectively) alpha...
Diabetes has reached epidemic levels in the whole world, and use of bioactive compounds that may have capacity to prevent treat diabetes is great interest. Sulforaphane (SFN) a compound which found cruciferous vegetables acts as both potent antioxidant regulator gene expression. The aim this study was evaluate effect SFN induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Male Wistar rats were gavaged with water or 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 mg/kg before an injection STZ (80 mg/kg). Animals treated showed fasting...
Obesity and insulin resistance are the key factors underlying etiology of major health problems such as hypertension, diabetes stroke. These important issues lead researchers to investigate new approaches prevent treat obesity resistance. Good candidates phytochemical compounds that have been extensively studied in field. Therefore, aim this study was test whether sulforaphane (SFN, 1 mg kg−1, 4 months treatment), a potent inducer antioxidant enzymes present cruciferous vegetables, had some...
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic non-communicable diseases and characterized by hyperglycemia increased oxidative stress.
Abstract Background : For patients with pulmonary hypertension, nutrition status is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality, energy expenditure can be strongly influenced by lung disease. Indirect calorimetry (IC) the gold standard for measuring resting (REE), this study aimed to compare results REE estimated different methods those obtained IC hypertension. Methods In cross‐sectional (n = 34), was bioelectrical impedance analysis predictive equations Harris‐Benedict, Food...
We estimated genetic parameters for egg production in different periods by means of random regression models, aiming at selection based on partial from a generation layers.The was evaluated each individual recording the number eggs produced 20 to 70 weeks age, with records taken every three total 17 periods.The covariance functions were model restricted maximum likelihood method.A composed third-order polynomials additive effect, ninth-order permanent environment, and residual variance...
Since the number and proportion of old people increases worldwide, health professionals systems should be made aware prepared to deal with their problems. Cognitive deficit symptoms depression are commom among elderly, may occur in relation various risk factors such as conditions psychosocial variables. In order study cognitive presence signs depression, 62 elderly community subjects enrolled at a Community Health Unit Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, were interviewed. They evaluated by means...
Background This study aimed to determine the value of phase angle (PhA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypertension (PH) its association nutritional functional parameters.Methods A cross-sectional 77 under follow-up at outpatient clinic a public hospital. Anthropometric measurements assessments physical capacity were performed, regular activity questionnaire was administered.Results The sample consisted 38 COPD (mean age, 63.8 ± 9.9 years; 68.4% female) 39...
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and is stimulated by the ready availability of food rich in fat sugar (highly palatable diet). This type diet increases risks obesity-associated pathologies, such as insulin resistance cardiovascular disease. Nitric oxide, a potent endogenous vasodilator, decreased these mostly result resistance. Ectonucleotidases are ecto soluble enzymes that regulate nucleotides ATP, ADP, AMP nucleoside adenosine vascular system, thereby affecting...
Pine nuts are the seeds of Araucaria angustifolia, which have a good nutritional value and relevance to be investigated in food technology, especially bakery products for celiac people. This study aimed evaluate physico-chemical sensory properties gluten-free breads made with pine nuts. Four different formulations (T1, T2,T3, T4) bread were prepared, varying percentages flours, submitted physical, chemical, analysis. The formulation nut potato starch one associated rice flour promising...
Abstract Adherence to healthy eating behaviors, as in the Mediterranean Diet, is related a better quality of life, educational performance, and reduced risk physical illness among higher education students. The provision good sustainable food imperative university environments. Nevertheless, availability options tends be limited across campuses (e.g., affordable fast food; convenience high-sugary foods vending machines), including canteens. Understanding students’ views on canteens factors...
Background: This study aimed to assess eating psychopathology and orthorexia nervosa (ON) in vegetarians (VEG) non-vegetarians (NVEG). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional with individuals from different locations throughout Brazil. The Eating Disorder Examination–Questionnaire Version (EDE-Q) Düsseldorf Orthorexia Scale were used. Results: There no differences EDE-Q (median 1.06 vs. 1.11 points, p=0.76) between VEG (n=95) NVEG (n=88), the scores compatible disorders similar groups (27.4%...
Aims: To evaluate the effect of caloric and non-caloric soft drink intake on food consumption, body weight composition, metabolic parameters in rats.Methods: Controlled experimental study which 30 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups given beverage ad libitum during 17 weeks. The as follows, according to offered food: Control group – standard chow water; Caloric chow, drink, Non-caloric water.Results: There was no statistical difference total energy intake, weight, fat deposition...
There is a popular belief that meat consumption necessary to optimize adaptations strength training (ST), but evidence support this hypothesis scarce. Therefore, study aimed compare ST in lacto-ovo-vegetarians (LOV) and non-vegetarians (NV) with adjusted protein intake per meal. Sixty-four LOV NV performed 12 weeks of were instructed ingest at least 20 g each main meal during the experimental period. Quadriceps femoris muscle thickness (QFMT), knee extension one-repetition maximum (1RM),...
