Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a usual way for analysing experiments. However, depending on the design and/or analysis scheme, it can be hard task. ExpDes, acronym Experimental Designs, package that intends to turn such task easier. Devoted fixed models and balanced experiments (no missing data), ExpDes allows user deal with additional treatments in single run, several experiment designs exhibits standard easy-to-interpret outputs. It was developed at Exact Sciences Institute Federal...
Three hundred and sixty patients with gastric carcinoma were evaluated by laparoscopy. The following tumor attributes used in the staging workup: serosal infiltration, fixation, metastasis to lymph nodes, peritoneal dissemination, liver metastasis. For detection of metastases, subgroups these also tested scintigraphy, ultrasonography, serum alkaline phosphatase determination. Use diagnostic indexes their confidence intervals provided an objective means assessing performance for various...
Eucalypt plantations in Brazil have the highest mean productivity when compared to other producing countries, and fertilizer application is one of main factors responsible for these productivities. Our aim was identify appropriate rates N, P K eucalypt their interactions with edaphoclimatic factors. Four trials four three nutrients (N, K) were set up. Each nutrient studied separately, trees received sufficient all through fertilization, avoid limitations not related desired nutrient. We...
Prebiotics and probiotics may be effective dietary components that can alter the gut microbiota of host and, consequently, overcome imbalances associated with obesity. This work aimed to evaluate synergistic isolated effects mechanisms by which probiotic yogurt containing Bifidobacterium animalis and/or Lactobacillus acidophilus yacon flour metabolic parameters inflammatory insulin signaling proteins in diet-induced obese mice. Swiss mice were fed a high-fat diet (n = 48) or standard...
This study aimed to develop a chitosan-based hydrogel containing mixture of flavonoids isolated from the leaves Passiflora edulis Sims and evaluate its stability, antioxidant properties, wound healing effects on cutaneous lesions in diabetic rats. vitro studies were carried out biocompatibility flavonoid release chitosan hydrogel. vivo conducted male Wistar rats, where injured tissue was removed for histological analysis determination lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase activity,...
Abstract Aim Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the main drivers of species population declines extinctions in world. The large‐scale replacement natural habitats with human‐modified habitats, such as forests agricultural livestock farming areas, creates a scenario where habitat patches immersed an inhospitable land use matrix. We sought to evaluate how forest fragments (FFs) influenced by different surrounding landscape components, we assessed matrices that differ structure...
Conduziu-se este trabalho, com a proposta de avaliar o potencial antioxidante dois padrões da bebida do café (rio e mole), verdes torrados, utilizando modelos in vitro. Foram determinados teor fenólicos totais, ácido clorogênico (ácido 5-cafeoilquínico) cafeína das bebidas. A avaliação vitro foi investigada pelos métodos captação radical DPPH pelo poder redutor metais. Os analisados não apresentaram diferenças quanto aos parâmetros cor, cafeína. Observou-se que houve redução nos valores à...
Due to the importance of studies on yacon related health, its in natura pulp, peel, pulp flour, and peel flour were chemically analyzed terms centesimal composition, specific minerals, total dietary fiber fractions, pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, tannins, oxalic acid, nitrate. The polyphenoloxidase peroxidase enzymatic activities evaluated for only. Yacon presented average yield 7.94% 10.86%, respectively. a higher moisture carboydrate content lower lipid, protein, fiber, ash than...
Food bars are products obtained from the union of a number components, standing out in snack category due to their portability attribute with focus on convenience and health. Utilization by-products agroindustrial food waste as ingredients making is highly important utilization leftovers marked nutritional functional value decrease production cost. This work intended evaluate chemical physicochemical aspects made broken rice (BR) pequi nut (PN), soybean extract residue (SER), pineapple (PW)....
Nitrogen (N) is the main nutrient for plant nutrition, however, its fertilization management still very complex. To evaluate wheat N utilization efficiency (NUtE) and yield in response to considering influence of environmental conditions, an experiment was carried out three field conditions Southern Brazil: Londrina rainfed irrigation Ponta Grossa rainfed. A complete (2 × 2 2) + 1 factorial arrangement evaluated two rates (40 80 kg ha-1), sources (ammonium nitrate urea), timings (at sowing...
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of paracoccidioidal infection by intradermal reaction (Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity, DTH) Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in rural areas Alfenas, Southern Minas Gerais (MG) State, Brazil, and assess risk factors (gender, occupation, age, alcohol intake smoking) associated with infection. We conducted a population-based cross-sectional using tests gp 43 paracoccidioidin 542 participants, who were previously contacted local health agents so...
ABSTRACT Combining the consuming of agricultural residues with satisfying consumers is a challenge that may result in financial income for frozen meat industries, besides generating products different nutritional value and satisfactory technological quality. Thus, we aimed at elaborating assessing physical, chemical microbiological characteristics raw fried beef hamburgers addition okara its wet form throughout their storage over period 120 days. The inclusion was proportional to reduction...
Five brands of Brazilian chocolate milk were subjected to physicochemical and acceptability analysis. The moisture content, fat pH soluble solids content varied between 78.35 84.27 g/100 mL , 1.68 3.08 7.11 7.44, 14.0 19.0° Brix, respectively, while the ash contents % lactic acid equivalents similar. Four tested had acceptable scores in all attributes; however, one lower values for luminosity, chromaticity, b* hue angle, which are potential indicators sensory quality. Strong aroma, strong...
Purpose As studies investigating the effects of fructan sources, such as yacon, on glucose and lipid metabolism showed different results, additional research is required to establish a clear relationship between them. Thus, this paper aims evaluate possible consumption yacon pulp flour (YPF) biological metabolic parameters food consumption, weight gain, serum levels fecal excretion rats, well determine role glycemic index (GI) diets added ingredient those parameters....

Esse foi medido pela taxa ocupação das vagas destinadas a público-alvo e por simulações quanto um possível cenário como as seriam ocupadas ausência dessa ação afirmativa. Os mostram não foram preenchidas sua totalidade, apresentando menores taxas nas categorias reservadas para aqueles egressos rede...
This study deals with development of a "dulce de leche" (DL) coffee, low caloric content and functional properties. Through rotational central composite design, eleven DLs were formulated different polydextrose sucralose levels. The results analyzed by means response surface ANOVA. addition led to the increase in moisture water activity reduction ash soluble solids contents. In formulations greater levels polydextrose, there was an ash, acid fiber content. Greater yield achieved...
abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ethanolic extract Passiflora edulis leaves on blood glucose, protein glycation, NADPH oxidase activity and macrophage phagocytic capacity after Candida albicans exposure in diabetic rats. The Sims were dried 40°C, powdered, extracted by maceration 70% ethanol, evaporated under reduced pressure lyophilised. biochemical tests performed total phenolic content (TP) as determined Folin-Ciocalteu assay, trapping potential DPPH assay...
