Dietary lipid intake can be associated with an increased risk for colorectal cancer depending on its composition. Carcinogenesis alters metabolism to facilitate cell growth and survival. For instance, metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are increasing colon proliferation. Moreover, precancerous lesions (i.e. adenomas) increase the cancer. In this study, we investigated associations between plasma PUFAs number polyps polyp type hyperplastic adenoma). Healthy male participants (...
Kefir has been suggested as a possible bacterial prophylaxis against Salmonella and IL-10 production seems to be crucial in the pathogenesis of salmonellosis mice. This study evaluated role inflammation gut microbiome mice consuming milk kefir orally challenged with enterica serovar Typhimurium. C57BL wild type (WT) (n = 40) IL-10-/- (KO) were subdivided into eight experimental groups either treated or not kefir. In first 15 days, water received filtered (0.1 mL) while (10% w/v) by gavage....
Jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora), a Brazilian fruit, is good source of dietary fiber and phenolic compounds, which are concentrated mainly in the peel. These compounds have been considered promising prevention treatment hypercholesterolemia hepatic steatosis. In this study, we investigated effects 4% jaboticaba peel powder (JPP) supplementation on cholesterol metabolism steatosis livers rats fed high-fat (HF) diet. The were standard AIN-93M (control) diet or an HF containing 32% lard 1%...
Buriti pulp flour (BPF) contains significant levels of antioxidants. This study evaluated the effect BPF on biomarkers oxidative damage in liver, heart, and pancreas diabetic rats. The chemical composition, antioxidant capacity, polyphenol content were determined. Thirty-six female Fisher rats divided into four groups: control (C); + (CB); (D); (DB). Diabetes was induced by treatment with streptozotocin. Thirty days after induction diabetes, glucose, total cholesterol triacylglycerides serum...
Abstract Aims Salmonellosis, a major global cause of diarrheal diseases, significantly impacts the intestinal microbiome. Probiotic-rich beverages, such as kefir, are increasingly utilized alternative health-promoting beverages associated with various microbiota benefits. This study investigated repercussions daily consumption household-produced milk kefir on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection in C57BL-6 mice. Methods and Results Kefir pre reduced presence inflammatory cells...
