Yellow passion fruit peel (PFP) is considered an important source of dietary fibre (DF) and its consumption has been associated with health benefits in metabolic gut disturbs. This work aimed to characterize the chemical structure soluble DF (SDF) from PFP evaluate gastroprotective activity acute gastric-ulcer model induced by ethanol rats. SDF was composed 92% GalA presented high methyl esterified homogalacturonan (DE = 70%), relative Mw 53 kDa. Oral pre-treatment animals (0.1, 1 10 mg/kg)...
Mucosal healing is the primary goal for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) treatment. We previously showed direct beneficial effects of rhamnogalacturonan (RGal) on intestinal epithelial barrier function. Here, we aimed to evaluate effect RGal in wound healing. Confluent cancer cell lines and colonoid monolayers were wounded, treated with 48 h assessed using a live imaging system. Proliferation apoptosis cells evaluated EdU TUNEL assays, respectively. Antagonists inhibitors used determine...
Sedum dendroideum, popularly known in Brazil as balsam, is traditionally used a wound healing agent, to treat gastritis, and several other health problems. Some studies have shown that plant polysaccharides may gastroprotective properties. Considering the popular use of S. dendroideum activity polysaccharides, objective this work was obtain, characterize, evaluate polysaccharide fraction from plant. Polysaccharides were extracted with water by infusion, fractionated freeze-thawing process...
Cognitive impairment (CI) has a multifactorial etiology. Some studies have suggested that inflammatory, oxidative and antioxidant status physical activity are associated with CI. However, the evidence on this subject is still controversial. The goal of study was to verify association caloric expenditure by activity, oxidative, power inflammatory biomarkers CI in older adults. We performed cross-sectional 424 elderly (224 normal cognitive function 200 CI) patients from Family Health Strategy...
Neuropathic and postoperative pain are clinical conditions that impair the quality of life. The current pharmacotherapy is ineffective accompanied by several side effects. In order to develop new therapeutics targets, secondary metabolites plants have been extensively studied. Acmella oleracea (“jambu”) a native plant from Amazon rich in alkylamides, bioactive compounds responsible induce anesthetic chemesthetic sensations. We previously demonstrated intraplantar administration an hexanic...
