Background: Insects like Gryllus assimilis have an excellent nutritional profile, including iron. However, the bioavailability of this iron and its effects on intestinal health oxidative balance remain unclear. To enhance acceptance, insects can be used in powder form combined with common flours. Objective: This study evaluates powder, alone or soy flour, bioavailability, health, rodents. Methods: Using hemoglobin depletion/repletion method, 32 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups:...
ABSTRACT: Four most consumed non-conventional vegetables were analyzed raw and after cooking techniques routinely used by family farmers: ora-pro-nobis (Pereskia aculeata Mill.); wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.), serralha (Sonchus L), capiçova (Erechtites valeriana). Chemical composition was determined according to AOAC. Vitamin C, vitamin E carotenoids high-performance liquid chromatography, phenolic compounds minerals spectrophotometry. concentrations higher in stir fried (7.68 mg.100...
The Western diet can negatively affect the gut microbiota and is associated with metabolic disorders. Kombucha, a tea fermented by symbiotic culture of bacteria yeast (SCOBY), known for its bioactive properties has become popular in last years. In this study, we evaluated effects regular kombucha consumption on outcomes related to intestinal health Wistar rats fed high-fat high-fructose diet. After eight weeks receiving standard (AIN-93M) (n = 10) or (HFHF) 30) induce disorders, animals were...
As a protein source, chia contains high concentrations of bioactive peptides. Probiotics support healthy digestive tract and immune system. Our study evaluated the effects intra-amniotic administration hydrolyzed probiotic Lacticaseibacillus paracasei on intestinal bacterial populations, barrier, inflammatory response, brush border membrane functionality in ovo (Gallus gallus). Fertile broiler gallus) eggs (n = 9/group) were divided into 5 groups: (NI) non-injected; (H2O) 18 MΩ H2O; (CP) 10...
Abstract Fortification of food constitutes an important strategy for the control micronutrient deficiency and has advantages such as high population coverage maintenance eating habits. This study aimed to assess impact using fortified rice (Ultra Rice® - UR®) on nutritional status preschoolers. Ninety-nine children enrolled in two philanthropic preschools participated study. Children one were offered UR® mixed with polished rice, part school meals (test group) another preschool pure (control...
Commercial cattle breeders produce their own herd offspring for the dairy and beef market using artificial insemination. The procedure involves sanitary risks associated with collection commercialization of germplasm, in vitro production transfer bovine embryos must be monitored by strict health surveillance. To avoid spreading infectious diseases, one rely on controlled media, reagents that are guaranteed free pathogens. In this article, we investigated use a new mass spectrometric approach...
The present study investigated the influence of chia consumption on inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid profiles in adult female ovariectomized rats fed a high-fat diet. Forty 40 intact (SHAM) were allocated into 8 groups (n = 10), each rat received one following four diets: standard diet (ST); + (STC); (HF); (HFC) for 126 days. Biochemical parameters biomarkers peroxidation, stress evaluated. mRNA expression levels PPAR-α, NFκB, TNF-α Zn-SOD1 analyzed, as well those IL-1β. Chia intake...
A direct correlation has been reported between excessive fat intake and the development progression of various enteropathies. Plant foods may contain bioactive compounds non-digestible dietary fiber, with potential to improve intestinal health. Chia is a good source fiber compounds. Our study evaluated role chia flour associated high-fat diet (HFD) on colon histomorphometry, functionality microbiome composition function in Wistar rats. The used 32 young male rats separated into four groups...
The fruit species of the Brazilian Cerrado, such as buriti (Mauritia vinifera ), occupy a prominent position in ecosystem since they contribute to economic potential region and have high nutritional value. We aimed evaluate physical characteristics, chemical composition content vitamin C, carotenoids, E folates pulp from Cerrado Minas Gerais, Brazil. length, diameter, mass yield were evaluated. titratable acidity was determined by volumetric neutralization; pH potentiometry; soluble solids...
This study investigates the acute anti-inflammatory activity of Mangifera indica L. leaf extract and mangiferin in liver rats fed a cafeteria diet. was randomized longitudinal experimental study. The animals were divided into three groups - Control: diet (CD); Extract: CD + (250 mg kg-1); Mangiferin: (40 kg-1). Body weight food intake measured every week. On day eight, mRNA protein expression inflammatory markers evaluated liver. Also, weight, SOD malondialdehyde concentration measured....
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the influence ora-pro-nobis (Pereskia aculeata Mill.) flour on adhesion probiotics intestinal epithelial cells and evaluate effect a product based gastrointestinal symptoms, weight, body fat, glycemia, lipid profile in overweight men. Methods: Microbiological counts (probiotic count, survival after vitro resistance, Caco-2 cell adhesion) were analyzed. A randomized, cross-over intervention performed. Intestinal microbiota indirectly...
