The effects of oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the carbonyl and carboxyl content, pasting, expansion textural properties oven-dried fermented cassava starch were investigated. A 23 factorial design three central points six axial was used to investigate effect H2O2 concentration, pH temperature starch; sun-dried starches as controls. conditions that presented contents specific volume hardness biscuits similar observed at point experimental (1.5 g/100 g H2O2, 5.0 32.5 °C)....
This research aimed to characterize and apply a fiber obtained from fruit residue as fat substitute in ice creams. The by-product of the processing red pitaya pulp dried at low temperature proved be source dietary fiber, with high soluble content, have suitable technological properties, which is indicative its potential replacer foods, besides containing antioxidant properties. addition into strawberry cream improved overrun rheological behavior sample 73.5% reduction resulted product...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) contained in fish oil (FO) are ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) that may induce changes cardiometabolic markers. Variation PPAR genes influence the beneficial responses linked to FO supplementation young adults. The study aimed analyze effect of on glucose metabolism, circulating lipids and inflammation according PPARα L162V PPARγ2 P12A genotypes Mexican 191 young, non-smoking subjects between 18 40 years were included a...
Overweight and obesity (OW/OB) represent a serious challenge in Mexico, with effects on health, society economy. Demographic, epidemiological, nutritional, social economic factors have exacerbated this problem.
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of replacing soybean oil with extra virgin coconut in normolipidic and hyperlipidic diets, on lipid metabolism Wistar rats. In first stage experiment (30 days), 36 rats were divided into 2 groups fed a control or diet. Six animals from each group then killed, remaining redistributed 4 new groups: remained diets other groups, was replaced days). At end assay, biological models decapitated for blood collection removal organs peritoneal fat....
Branched chain amino‐acid aminotransferase (BCAT) activity is present in fetal liver but the developmental pattern of mitochondrial BCAT (BCATm) expression rat has not been studied. The aim this study was to determine activity, protein and mRNA concentration BCATm postnatal liver, localize enzyme at cellular subcellular levels both stages. Maximal occurred 17 days' gestation then declined significantly immediately after birth. This observed only liver; heart showed a different pattern. Fetal...
Glaucoma is characterized by anatomical and functional changes which result in progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells damage to the optic nerve.This neuropathy represents a silent threat visual health, often triggering irreversible before it even detected.Due impact that this disease has on both society public was considered extremely relevant identify epidemiological profile hospital admissions resulting from glaucoma state Rio Grande do Sul.A cross-sectional descriptive study carried...
In this study, the phenolic compounds of black and red rice brans were identified quantified (μg/g, dry basis) by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS. Furthermore, in vitro scavenging capacities each bran extracts against peroxyl radicals (ROO●), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) determined. The major compound both was ferulic acid, accounting for 71% 37% total compounds, respectively. Cyanidin 3-glucoside anthocyanin (411±6 µg/g), while none detected rice. All able to scavenge tested...
The Mortality information system (SIM) and the Unified Health System Information Department (DATASUS) make it possible to obtain data on deaths occurring in national territory.Deaths from external causes are prominent these.The objective of this study is measure impact resulting RS, through these data.The methodology part a descriptive documentary obtained by collecting mortality state Rio Grande do Sul (RS) SIM, made available DATASUS, period 2019 2022.It concluded that high number has an...
Antecedentes: El sobrepeso y la obesidad constituyen un grave desafío en México, con efectos salud, sociedad economía. Factores demográficos, epidemiológicos, nutricionales, sociales económicos han agravado esta problemática. Objetivo: Analizar mortalidad los años de vida saludable perdidos México por el período 1990 a 2021. Material métodos: Se utilizó Global Burden of Disease 2021 para analizar datos sobre índice masa corporal elevado como factor riesgo su evolución México. Resultados: En...
Description of frequencies and haplotypes in Mexican Mestizo (MM) Amerindian (MA) populations, two SNPs implicated lipid metabolism, which have been associated to levels white populations. For this purpose we analyzed DNA extracted from blood samples 372 MA 300 MM that participated the Genome Diversity Project by allelic discrimination, also constructed identified tag SNPs. Results The frequency for LIPC rs1800588 was 0.430 0.262 MA, whereas APOA5 rs662799 0.168 MA. Three (>5%) were on...
An intervention study conducted in young Mexican adults showed significant improvement of the supplementation with fish oil (FO) on glucose metabolism. Differences response among subjects were observed. Gene expression peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) has been used as a proxy effect nutritional interventions other tissues. We compared changes transcriptome PBMC induced by FO (2.7 g DHA + EPA during six weeks) contrasting responses fasting insulin concentrations. Participants largest...
