Accessibility analysis for the visually impaired using LazarilloApp<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Visual impairment causes limitations, including mobility. Studies show that there are about 1.3 billion people in the world with some type of visual impairment. Another important factor refers to the need to include these visually impaired people in schools and universities, for autonomy, learning and personal development. Public policies seek to implement measures that ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities, in order to ensure the use of environments in an equal manner. However, these measures are not implemented due to several factors, such as the lack of knowledge of professionals and the lack of financial and technological resources. This research project aimed to evaluate the use of LazarilloApp, a georeferencing application that helps the mobility of people with visual impairment. The tests were conducted at a university in Brazil. Although it has many features and potential, the application was partially effective and efficient, since in only one of the four routes drawn by it the user arrived at the destination. The accessibility problems identified reinforce the need to enable access through structural changes in physical spaces. The results indicate the need to foster the improvement of the functionalities of LazarilloApp and other mobile applications of free access, for the disabled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acute and subacute (28 days) oral toxicity studies of tucum almond oil (Bactris Setosa Mart.<\/em>) in mice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: Oils extracted from almonds are often used with particular interest due to their prospective health effects and benefits. Tucum is a Pantanal fruit widely consumed by local population and no\u00a0in vivo<\/i>\u00a0toxicity studies regarding its safety are available in the literature to date. This study investigated the acute and subacute toxicity of tucum almond oil (TAO) in mice by evaluating its safety profile. For the acute (2000 mg\/kg) and subacute (250, 500 and 1000 mg\/kg) toxicity studies, TAO was administered orally to mice according to 425 and 407 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines, respectively. Food intake, body, and organ weight of animals were recorded. Signs of toxicity were assessed, and hematological, biochemical and histopathological analyses were performed. In the acute toxicity study, no mortality or behavioral changes were observed in mice treated with 2000 mg\/kg, indicating that LD50 is higher than this dose. In the subacute toxicity test, the doses evaluated did not produce relevant changes in hematological, biochemical or histopathological parameters in the exposed animals. The data obtained suggest that TAO did not induce toxicity after exposure to a single or repeated doses and LD50 value may be considered to be more than 2000 mg\/kg body weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

A\u00e7ai supplementarion (Euterpe oleracea Mart.<\/em>) attenuates cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction in rats through different mechanistic pathways\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Myocardial infarction has a high mortality rate worldwide. Therefore, clinical intervention in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction is essential. A\u00e7ai pulp is a natural product and has been considered a functional food because of its antioxidant\/anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of a\u00e7ai pulp supplementation on cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction in rats. After 7 days of surgery, male Wistar rats were assigned to six groups: sham animals fed standard chow (SA0, n = 14), fed standard chow with 2% a\u00e7ai pulp (SA2, n = 12) and fed standard chow with 5% a\u00e7ai pulp (SA5, n = 14), infarcted animals fed standard chow (IA0, n = 12), fed standard chow with 2% a\u00e7ai pulp (IA2, n = 12), and fed standard chow with 5% a\u00e7ai pulp (IA5, n = 12). After 3 months of supplementation, echocardiography and euthanasia were performed. A\u00e7ai pulp supplementation, after myocardial infarction, improved energy metabolism, attenuated oxidative stress (lower concentration of malondialdehyde, P = 0.023; dose-dependent effect), modulated the inflammatory process (lower concentration of interleukin-10, P<0.001; dose-dependent effect) and decreased the deposit of collagen (lower percentage of interstitial collagen fraction, P<0.001; dose-dependent effect). In conclusion, a\u00e7ai pulp supplementation attenuated cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction in rats. Also, different doses of a\u00e7ai pulp supplementation have dose-dependent effects on cardiac remodeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Addition of orange peel in orange jam: Sensory, physicochemical and nutritional characteristics evaluation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Orange is highly nutritious and a source of phytochemical compounds. However, its by-products are usually discarded. In this study, we evaluated the effect of orange peel (OP) addition in orange jam on sensory, physicochemical, and nutritional characteristics. Four jam formulations were elaborated with different OP levels: OP0 (standard), OP4, OP8, and OP12 (Orange Peel 0, 4, 8 and 12%, respectively). All samples were evaluated for sensory acceptability, and physicochemical and nutritional composition. The addition of 12% orange peel in jam reduced (p<\/em>\u00a0< 0.05) the acceptability for all evaluated attributes, as well as overall acceptance and purchase intention. However, OP utilization increased (p<\/em>\u00a0< 0.05) the levels of water activity, soluble solids, titratable acidity, and sugars. Soluble solids\/titratable acidity ratio, luminosity (L<\/em>*), and yellow content (b<\/em>*) decreased in all added OP jams, while red content (a<\/em>*) increased. No change in the pH and moisture values of the product were observed after OP addition. Ash, protein, lipid, dietary fiber, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity values increased after OP addition, while carbohydrate and energy content decreased. A texture test showed that adhesiveness decreased, while gumminess, chewiness, and elasticity increased after OP addition. We concluded that the addition of up to 8% orange peel in jam maintains sensory acceptability similar to that of the standard product. OP addition is a viable alternative to improve some of the product\u2019s physicochemical and nutritional characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estudo observacional, transversal, com abordagem quantitativa realizado com 9 atletas de uma escola de t\u00eanis de Campo Grande-MS, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 10 e 15 anos. Utilizou-se inqu\u00e9rito diet\u00e9tico de frequ\u00eancia alimentar espec\u00ed\u00adfico para atletas, comparando-se com as recomenda\u00e7\u00f5es nutricionais da International Society of Sports Nutrition de energia e macronutrientes e do Institute of Medicine para micronutrientes. As medidas antropom\u00e9tricas de peso, estatura, circunfer\u00eancias de bra\u00e7o e cintura e dobras cut\u00e2neas foram realizadas para a determina\u00e7\u00e3o da gordura corporal (%) e da massa livre de gordura (kg). Observou-se consumo energ\u00e9tico com 77,8% de adequa\u00e7\u00e3o em rela\u00e7\u00e3o as recomenda\u00e7\u00f5es, carboidratos de 6,9 g\/kg\/dia, prote\u00ed\u00adna de 2,0 g\/kg\/dia e lip\u00ed\u00addios de 1,9 g\/kg\/dia. A ingest\u00e3o de c\u00e1lcio estava abaixo da recomenda\u00e7\u00e3o em 100% dos casos. A m\u00e9dia de ingest\u00e3o de zinco, vitamina E e C apresentaram inadequa\u00e7\u00f5es estando superiores \u00e0s recomenda\u00e7\u00f5es. O percentual de gordura corporal estava adequado em apenas 33,3% dos tenistas. A maioria dos atletas apresentaram ingest\u00e3o inadequada de prote\u00ed\u00adnas e micronutrientes, que pode estar refletindo na composi\u00e7\u00e3o corporal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biotechnological potential of Hancornia speciosa<\/em> whole tree: A narrative review from composition to health applicability<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa<\/em>) is a Brazilian tree and a socioeconomic key due to the commercialization of its food products and tree parts to treat health conditions empirically. This review gathers the main chemical, and microbiological characteristics of the mangabeira tree parts (leaves, fruits, tree bark, latex, and seeds), emphasizing its applicability in food science and focusing on its bioapplicability in health conditions. Leaves, fruits, and tree bark can be used to develop functional foods, and phytochemical products; the tree latex have great potential in the bioengineering material field; and the seeds in sustainable energy production. Leaves and fruits were the main samples bioapplied in health conditions\u00a0in vitro<\/em>\u00a0(oxidative stress and chemopreventive effect) and\u00a0in vivo<\/em>\u00a0(gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic effect), whereas tree bark and latex also exhibited health effects and seeds showed low cytotoxicity. All parts of the mangabeira tree can be explored by extractivist families and industries from a sustainable point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cane With Eletronic Wet Dirt Identifier For The Visually Impaired<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Vision impairment affects approximately 18% of the world population and impacts directly on people\u2019s quality and style of life. The cane is a self-help device used by visually impaired people to improve their functional abilities. When storing or handling a dirty cane with wet dirt on its tip the person may experience an embarrassing and hazardous situation, since the cane can be infected with harmful bacteria deriving from dirt exchanged on the street. This study developed an electronic wet dirt identifier containing an YL-69 moisture detector controlled by an Arduino Nano board installed on a cane with the objective of alerting the disabled through sound and vibration warnings at the presence of wet dirt attached to the cane. The equipment developed was tested and calibrated in a controlled environment and proved adequate to identify and distinguish types of wet dirt adapting to any type of cane. This research presents relevant social potential since it guarantees the physical integrity of the disabled and generates a versatile self-help device, which is cheap and easy to implement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Combination of cafeteria diet with intraperitoneally streptozotocin in rats. A type-2 diabetes model<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo:<\/strong> Purpose: To develop a model of induction of type-2 diabetes (DM2) by combining low doses of streptozotocin (STZ) and a cafeteria diet. Methods: Forty male Wistar rats (200 g) were allocated into four groups: control (non-diabetic, n = 10); STZ 30 mg\/kg (diabetic, n = 10); STZ 35 mg\/kg (diabetic,n = 10); and STZ 40 mg\/kg (diabetic, n = 10). DM2 was induced with a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ after four weeks of cafeteria diet in the three diabetic groups. All animals were evaluated as for anthropometric, and biochemical analyses, as well as liver, kidney and pancreas histological analyses. Results: Lower weight gain, higher water intake, higher Lee index, hyperglycemia and modified total protein, urea, alpha-amylase, as well as insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, pancreas, and kidney injury were observed in animals treated with 35 and 40 mg\/kg of STZ. Conclusions: The results show that the experimental model using cafeteria diet associated with 35 mg\/kg of STZ is a low-cost model and efficient in order to develop DM2, confirmed by the presence of polydipsia, hyperglycemia, altered biochemical tests, insulin resistance and damages to the liver, pancreas and kidney, which is similar to the disease found in humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Food Intake and Food Cravings Change during the Menstrual Cycle of Young Women?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the anthropometric measures, food intake and food cravings during the menstrual cycle of undergraduate students of the faculty of nutrition. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 27 students from a public university in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, who had their food intake evaluated through a 24-hour food recall, their nutritional status evaluated based on anthropometric measures, and food cravings evaluated using the Food Desire Questionnaire. Data were collected during an evaluation in the follicular phase (between the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0and the 9th<\/sup>\u00a0day of the menstrual cycle) and another in the luteal phase (LP) (between the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0and the 25th<\/sup>\u00a0day of the menstrual cycle). For food intake variables, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used, followed by the Tukey test. The Mann-Whitney test was used for the analysis of food cravings, considering a significance level of 5% (p<\/i>< 0.05). Results: The desire for foods rich in sugar, salt, and fat, such as chocolate, pastries, snacks and desserts were higher (p<\/i>< 0.05) during the premenstrual period, although it did not reflect neither a higher energy intake nor an alteration in the distribution of macronutrients. A higher intake of carbohydrates, proteins, fibers, and calcium was observed during the LP; however, without statistical difference between the groups. There were no differences either in the intake of any food group or in the anthropometric measurements (p<\/i>> 0.05). Conclusion: Food cravings of nutrition students differed between the phases of the menstrual cycle; however, with no difference in food intake and in anthropometric measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>A desnutri\u00e7\u00e3o provoca altera\u00e7\u00f5es na composi\u00e7\u00e3o corporal e compromete as fun\u00e7\u00f5es f\u00edsicas e mentaisdos indiv\u00edduos. Uma de suas principais caracter\u00edsticas \u00e9 a perda de peso involunt\u00e1ria, associada a piores desfechos em sa\u00fade. Em ambientes hospitalares o risco para a condi\u00e7\u00e3o se mostra elevado, principalmente em se tratando de pacientes cr\u00edticos, idosos ou submetidos a cirurgias. Este estudo explora o potencial da espessura do m\u00fasculo adutor do polegar (EMAP) como ferramenta diagn\u00f3stica auxiliar paradetec\u00e7\u00e3o da desnutri\u00e7\u00e3o em pacientes hospitalizados, visto sua acessibilidade e baixo custo. A pesquisa envolveu 100 indiv\u00edduos adultos e avaliou as correla\u00e7\u00f5es entre EMAP, circunfer\u00eancia do bra\u00e7o(CB) e circunfer\u00eancia da panturrilha (CP) com o \u00edndice de massa corporal (IMC) dos participantes. Al\u00e9m disso, sugeriu pontos de corte dessas medidas antropom\u00e9tricas para a detec\u00e7\u00e3o da desnutri\u00e7\u00e3o. Os resultados indicaram que CB e CP correlacionaram-se mais fortemente com IMC em compara\u00e7\u00e3o com a EMAP, sendo escolhas mais eficazes para o diagn\u00f3stico nutricional. Quanto aos pontos de corte, os valores com maior sensibilidade e especificidade para diagn\u00f3stico de desnutri\u00e7\u00e3o foram 12,50 mmpara EMAP, 26,00 cm para CB e30,50 cm para CP, respectivamente.<\/span><\/div>\n

Estado nutricional e condi\u00e7\u00f5es ambientais e de sa\u00fade de crian\u00e7as Patax\u00f3, Minas Gerais, Brasil<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Descrever o estado nutricional e as condi\u00e7\u00f5es ambientais e de sa\u00fade das crian\u00e7as Patax\u00f3 de cinco aldeias de Minas Gerais, Brasil. O estado nutricional foi classificado com base no peso e estatura\/comprimento, tendo como refer\u00eancia o padr\u00e3o de crescimento da Organiza\u00e7\u00e3o Mundial da Sa\u00fade. Question\u00e1rios baseados no\u00a0I Inqu\u00e9rito Nacional de Sa\u00fade e Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o dos Povos Ind\u00edgenas<\/i>\u00a0foram utilizados para a avalia\u00e7\u00e3o das condi\u00e7\u00f5es ambientais dos domic\u00edlios e de sa\u00fade dos menores de cinco anos. Dos 70 menores de dez anos avaliados (93,3%), 34 tinham menos de cinco anos. N\u00e3o se observaram d\u00e9ficits nutricionais e sobrepeso foi registrado para 11,4% das crian\u00e7as. A maioria das crian\u00e7as (74,3%) vivia em domic\u00edlios com energia el\u00e9trica, 95% em domic\u00edlios com latrina\/sanit\u00e1rio e 52,9% lan\u00e7avam dejetos em fossa s\u00e9ptica. A realiza\u00e7\u00e3o de seis ou mais consultas de pr\u00e9-natal foi reportada por 82,4% das m\u00e3es dos menores de cinco anos, e 91,2% iniciaram o pr\u00e9-natal no primeiro trimestre de gesta\u00e7\u00e3o. Dentre as causas de interna\u00e7\u00f5es hospitalares nos \u00faltimos 12 meses (23,5%), somente uma foi devido \u00e0 diarreia e nenhuma por causa de infec\u00e7\u00f5es respirat\u00f3rias. Foram verificadas coberturas universais para a maioria das vacinas avaliadas. A inexist\u00eancia de d\u00e9ficits nutricionais entre as crian\u00e7as Patax\u00f3 pode estar associada \u00e0s melhores condi\u00e7\u00f5es de habita\u00e7\u00e3o, saneamento e cobertura das a\u00e7\u00f5es b\u00e1sicas de sa\u00fade infantil quando comparadas \u00e0s condi\u00e7\u00f5es verificadas no\u00a0I Inqu\u00e9rito Nacional de Sa\u00fade e Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o dos Povos Ind\u00edgenas<\/i>\u00a0e de estudos pontuais.

Estado nutricional de escolares adolescentes no Brasil: a Pesquisa Nacional de Sa\u00fade dos Escolares 2015<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Introdu\u00e7\u00e3o: A obesidade \u00e9 um problema crescente no Brasil em todos os grupos et\u00e1rios. Excesso de peso ao final da adolesc\u00eancia indica probabilidade elevada de peso n\u00e3o saud\u00e1vel na vida adulta. Objetivo:Descrever dados antropom\u00e9tricos da Pesquisa Nacional de Sa\u00fade dos Escolares (PeNSE) 2015 e sua distribui\u00e7\u00e3o segundo estratos geogr\u00e1ficos e socioecon\u00f4micos. M\u00e9todos: Dados da PeNSE 2015 foram utilizados. A amostra desta an\u00e1lise compreende adolescentes com idade entre 11 e 19 anos de escolas p\u00fablicas e privadas com dados antropom\u00e9tricos dispon\u00edveis. O estado nutricional foi classificado segundo valores de refer\u00eancia para o \u00edndice de massa corporal (IMC), propostos pela\u00a0International Obesity Task Force<\/i>\u00a0(IOTF). As estimativas das preval\u00eancias de d\u00e9ficit de peso e de excesso de peso e seus respectivos erros padr\u00e3o foram apresentados. A associa\u00e7\u00e3o entre os indicadores antropom\u00e9tricos e as caracter\u00edsticas demogr\u00e1ficas ou sociais dos adolescentes foi estimada por\u00a0odds ratio<\/i> e os seus respectivos intervalos de confian\u00e7a de 95% foram apresentados. Resultados: A preval\u00eancia de d\u00e9ficit de peso foi inferior a 3%. As maiores preval\u00eancias de excesso de peso foram observadas em adolescentes que se declararam negros ou ind\u00edgenas, da regi\u00e3o sul, da \u00e1rea urbana e dos quintos mais baixos de renda. Em geral, a preval\u00eancia de excesso de peso foi maior entre adolescentes que frequentavam escolas privadas. Conclus\u00e3o: O excesso de peso \u00e9 mais frequente entre adolescentes dos estratos de baixa renda. Al\u00e9m de indicador do estado nutricional, o excesso de peso pode indicar desigualdade social no Brasil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estudo descritivo-explorat\u00f3rio realizado em MS, no qual cada gestor municipal de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o e nutri\u00e7\u00e3o respondeu sobre seu perfil, atua\u00e7\u00e3o, governan\u00e7a e financiamento. A an\u00e1lise de dados valeu-se de frequ\u00eancia, teste qui-quadrado e \u00e1rvore de decis\u00e3o. Todos participaram (n=79), a maioria era do sexo feminino (92,4%), ra\u00e7a\/cor branca (62%), enfermeiros (45,6%) ou nutricionistas (36,7%). A gest\u00e3o financeira mostrou-se t\u00e3o incipiente no estado, que financiamentos espec\u00edficos da \u00e1rea foram desprezados. A aus\u00eancia de \u00e1rea t\u00e9cnica no organograma do munic\u00edpio foi congruente com o desconhecimento de a\u00e7\u00f5es, metas e aloca\u00e7\u00e3o de recursos; sua presen\u00e7a coincidiu com haver respons\u00e1veis t\u00e9cnicos formalmente indicados, pol\u00edtica de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o e nutri\u00e7\u00e3o municipal, metas e elabora\u00e7\u00e3o de materiais. A \u00e1rvore de decis\u00e3o mostra que ter nutricionista na equipe traz efeitos positivos, como mais participa\u00e7\u00e3o em processos decis\u00f3rios.

Protein supplement obtained from almonds of bacuri fruit (Attalea phalerata Mart. Ex Spreng.): elaboration, nutritional characterization and sensory acceptability<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Bacuri (Attalea phalerata Mart. Ex Spreng.) is a fruit belonging to Palmae family, found in Mato Grosso do Sul – Brazil with great nutritional potential. The objective of the present study was to perform processing, elaboration, nutritional analysis and sensorial acceptability test of protein supplement formulations with bacuri almonds aiming its use by vegetarian public and sportsmen. Bacuri almonds were processed to lyophilized flour of the protein isolate, and then mixed with other ingredients to produce two supplement formulations: F1 containing 70% bacuri lyophilized almond flour, and F2 containing 35% bacuri lyophilized almond flour and 35% commercial supplement. Nutritional composition analysis, amino acid determination and sensory analysis were performed. Both supplements presented high protein content. F1 and F2 were significant different for energy, moisture, ashes, proteins and carbohydrates content. Amino acid profile was satisfactory for methionine, cysteine, phenylalanine and tyrosine for both. Sensory analysis showed acceptability indexes above the minimum limit of 70%, which is considered accepted. Thus, bacuri almond is an alternative ingredient in plant food supplements. However, its isolated use (F1) still needs further testing for sensory acceptability indices improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Risk assessment of obesity-related Noncommunicable Diseases through BMI trajectories in adulthood<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Aim: To assess the impact of adult body mass index (BMI) trajectories on therisk of obesity-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the U.S. adultsafter adjustment for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors.Methods: Data were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Exami-nation Survey conducted from 2007 to 2018, including male and female partici-pants aged 29\u201359 years. Rao-Scott adjusted chi-square was employed to detectassociations between categorical variables in descriptive analyses. Cox propor-tional hazards models estimated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence inter-vals (CI) for NCDs and BMI trajectories, adjusted for sociodemographic andlifestyle factors. Kaplan\u2013Meier curves illustrated the cumulative incidenceover time.Results: Analyses were carried out on 15 721 participants and revealing signif-icant differences among BMI trajectories in terms of demographic, lifestyle,and health characteristics. The overall prevalence of NCDs was 28.0% (95%CI:26.6\u201328.9). The cumulative incidence over time was higher in the highincrease, moderate increase, and mixed trajectory groups, with a correspond-ingly higher cumulative risk (p < 0.001). Non-overweight trajectory was con-sidered reference category in Cox models. The BMI trajectories wereindependently associated with an increased risk of NCDs, even after adjustingfor potential confounders (HR: 1.7; 95%CI: 1.4\u20131.9 for moderate increase; HR:3.6; 95%CI: 3.2\u20134.1 for high increase; and HR: 2.4; 95%CI: 2.1\u20132.7, for mixed).Furthermore, differences between males and females were also observed.Conclusion: The transition to and persistence of obesity into adulthoodincreases the risk of NCDs. The implementation of targeted interventions withlong-term monitoring of BMI may be beneficial in the prevention of futureobesity-related NCDs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Fundamento: A vitamina D (VD) tem um importante papel na fun\u00e7\u00e3o card\u00edaca. No entanto, a vitamina exerce uma curva \u201cdose-resposta\u201d bif\u00e1sica na fisiopatologia cardiovascular e pode causar efeitos delet\u00e9rios, mesmo em doses n\u00e3o t\u00f3xicas. A VD exerce suas fun\u00e7\u00f5es celulares ligando-se ao seu receptor. Ainda, a express\u00e3o da prote\u00edna de intera\u00e7\u00e3o com a tiorredoxina (TXNIP) \u00e9 positivamente regulada pela VD. A TXNIP modula diferentes visa de sinaliza\u00e7\u00e3o celular que podem ser importantes para a remodela\u00e7\u00e3o card\u00edaca. Objetivos: Avaliar se a suplementa\u00e7\u00e3o com VD leva \u00e0 remodela\u00e7\u00e3o card\u00edaca, e se a TXNIP e a tiorredoxina (Trx) est\u00e3o associadas com esse processo. M\u00e9todos: Duzentos e cinquenta ratos Wistar machos foram alocados em tr\u00eas grupos: controle (C, n=21), sem suplementa\u00e7\u00e3o com VD; VD3 (n = 22) e VD10 (n=21), suplementados com 3,000 e 10,000 UI de VD\/ kg de ra\u00e7\u00e3o, respectivamente, por dois meses. Os grupos foram comparados por an\u00e1lise de vari\u00e2ncia (ANOVA) com um fator e teste post hoc de Holm-Sidak (vari\u00e1veis com distribui\u00e7\u00e3o normal), ou pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis e an\u00e1lise post-hoc de Dunn. O n\u00edvel de signific\u00e2ncia para todos os testes foi de 5%. Resultados: A express\u00e3o de TXNIP foi mais alta e a atividade do Trx foi mais baixa no grupo VD10. Os animais que receberam suplementa\u00e7\u00e3o com VD apresentaram aumento de hidroper\u00f3xido lip\u00eddico e diminui\u00e7\u00e3o de super\u00f3xido dismutase e glutationa peroxidase. A prote\u00edna Bcl-2 foi mais baixa no grupo VD10. Observou-se uma diminui\u00e7\u00e3o na \u03b2-oxida\u00e7\u00e3o de \u00e1cidos graxos, no ciclo do \u00e1cido tricarbox\u00edlico, na cadeia transportadora de el\u00e9trons, e um aumento na via glicol\u00edtica. Conclus\u00e3o: A suplementa\u00e7\u00e3o com VD levou \u00e0 remodela\u00e7\u00e3o card\u00edaca e esse processo pode ser modulado por TXNIP e Trx, e consequentemente por estresse oxidativo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The allometric scaling of body mass and height in children and adolecents in five countries\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Objective:\u00a0The purpose a methodology that excludes values outside of the expected spectrum for age (VOESA) of height and body mass in the definition of power (p) to construct an international allometric body mass index (AI) for children and adolescents. Methods:\u00a0Datasets of national surveys including individuals (aged 0-19 years) from five countries (Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, England, and the USA) were selected. The p was defined for each country, age range, and sex after exclusion of VOESA for height and weight by log-log linear regression, where \u03b2 represented p. The p was also defined for a pool of five countries, international p (ip) after exclusion of VOESA using a spline modeling technique (5 knots). The AI was calculated and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was calculated to investigate the correlation between AI and height. Results:\u00a0Exclusion of VOESA decreased the difference of p among countries. Exponent p showed values close to 2 in the first years of life, increased to 3-3.5 between 7 and 11 years for girls and 8 to 12 years for boys, and decreased to close to 2 near the end of growth (16 years for girls and 19 years for boys). The use of ip for all countries decreased r values to near zero while BMI had values near 0.4. Conclusions:\u00a0Exclusion of VOESA contributes to a decreased effect of epidemiological context among countries when calculating the AI. AI calculated using ip is independent of height in all countries and reflects physiological growth changes for children and adolescents.<\/span><\/p>\n

The effects of the low-carb diet in the body composition and weight loss<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>Numerous approaches are advised for reducing weight, like consistent physical activity, medication, surgical procedures, and strict-eating plans. These can be taken up individually or combined to attain the sought-after outcomes and, as a result, hinder complications linked to being overweight (Paoli, 2014). In this context, restrictive diets show up as one of the most used strategies. Purpose: To verify the efectiveness of the low-carb diet in changing body composition. Methods This integrative review used the databases PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Scientifc Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Data were collected from 2016 to July 2020, using the following descriptors in Portuguese and English: \u201clow carbohydrate diet,\u201d \u201cketogenic diet,\u201d and \u201clow carbohydrate diet and weight loss.\u201d Results: The search resulted in 10 trials and 4 reviews. After descriptive analysis, the results showed that the ketogenic diet (20\u201350 g of carbohydrates\/day), a low-carb diet variant, is the most studied and generates positive outcomes, but its less extreme variant (<130 g\/day) also leads to a reduction of the weight. It is possible that a low-carb diet has efects on body composition such as weight and body fat and, when combined with exercise, can prevent the loss of muscle mass. The lowcarb diet changes body composition with weight loss, body fat reduction, and muscle mass maintenance. Conclusion: The low-carb diet proved to be as efcient as conventional hypoenergetic diets, but little is known about its<\/span>

The Effects of Supplementing Hancornia speciosa<\/em> (Mangaba) on Bowel Motility and Inflammatory Profile of Wistar Rats<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo: <\/strong>The prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders, such as constipation, has been increasing. Genetic factors and lifestyle are some of the etiologies of this issue, affecting the health of the population. Natural products have properties that contribute to health maintenance and health promotion, including reduction of the inflammatory process.\u00a0Hancornia speciosa<\/i>, popularly known as mangaba, is an abundant and native fruit in the Brazilian Cerrado, commercialized for culinary purposes and used because of its pharmacological properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the supplementation of different concentrations of mangaba pulp can improve intestinal motility and bowel health in Wistar rats. Forty male rats were divided into five groups. The experiment lasted 14 days and the groups were tested with water, industrialized laxative jelly made from tamarind as medication, or mangaba at 5, 10, and 15 mL\/kg of body weight. Food intake, weight gain, ion balance, intestinal motility, and histopathological analysis of the small intestine, large intestine, and liver were evaluated. Supplementation of mangaba pulp at its highest concentration (15 mL\/kg body weight) caused a 15% increase in the distance traveled by the charcoal meal, and a decrease in serum magnesium levels and white cells in both the small and large intestines. The results suggest that mangaba pulp presents laxative, anti-inflammatory properties and that its consumption is beneficial and should be encouraged.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Use of Natural Fiber-Rich Food Product Is Safe and Reduces Aberrant Crypt Foci in a Pre-Clinical Mode<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo:<\/strong> Background:\u00a0Colorectal cancer is a highly prevalent disease, requiring effective strategies for prevention and treatment. The present research aimed to formulate a natural fiber-rich food product (NFRFP) and to evaluate its safety, toxicogenetics, and effects on aberrant crypt foci induced by 1,2-dimethyl-hydrazine in a preclinical model. Methods:\u00a0A total of 78 male Wistar rats were distributed in six experimental groups: negative control, positive control (1,2-Dimethylhydrazine-40 mg\/Kg), and four groups fed with 10% NFRFP: NFRFP, pre-treatment protocol, simultaneous treatment, and post-treatment protocol. Results:\u00a0The NFRFP was shown to be a good source of fibers and did not change biometric, biochemical, hematological, and inflammatory parameters, and did not induce signs of toxicity and genotoxicity\/carcinogenicity. NFRFP exhibited a chemopreventive effect, in all protocols, with damage reduction (% DR) of 75% in the comet test. NFRFP reduced the incidence of aberrant crypt outbreaks by 49.36% in the post-treatment protocol. Conclusions:\u00a0The results suggest the applicability of NFRFP in the human diet due to potential production at an industrial scale and easy technological application in different products, since it could be incorporated in food without altering or causing small changes in final product sensory characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Xanthophyll \u03b2-cryptoxanthin treatment inhibits hepatic steatosis without altering vitamin A status in \u03b2-carotene 9′,10′-oxygenase knockout mice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resumo:<\/strong> Background:\u00a0\u03b2-cryptoxanthin (BCX), one of the major carotenoids detected in human circulation, can protect against the development of fatty liver disease. BCX can be metabolized through \u03b2-carotene-15,15′-oxygenase (BCO1) and \u03b2-carotene-9′,10′-oxygenase (BCO2) cleavage pathways to produce both vitamin A and apo-carotenoids, respectively, which are considered important signaling molecules in a variety of biological processes. Recently, we have demonstrated that BCX treatment reduced hepatic steatosis severity and hepatic total cholesterol levels in both wide type and BCO1-\/-<\/sup>\/BCO2-\/-<\/sup>\u00a0double knock out (KO) mice. Whether the protective effect of BCX is seen in single BCO2-\/-<\/sup> KO mice is unclear.\u00a0Methods:\u00a0In the present study, male BCO2-\/-<\/sup>\u00a0KO mice at 1 and 5 months of age were assigned to two groups by age and weight-matching as follows: (I) -BCX control diet alone (AIN-93 purified diets); (II) +BCX 10 mg (supplemented with 10 mg of BCX\/kg of diet) for 3 months. At 4 and 8 months of age, hepatic steatosis and inflammatory foci were evaluated by histopathology. Retinoids and BCX concentrations in liver tissue were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Hepatic protein expressions of SIRT1, acetylated and total FoxO1, PGC1\u03b1, and PPAR\u03b1 were determined by the Western blot analysis. Real-time PCR for gene expressions (MCAD<\/i>,\u00a0SCD1<\/i>,\u00a0FAS<\/i>,\u00a0TNF\u03b1<\/i>, and\u00a0IL-1\u03b2<\/i> gene expression relative to \u03b2-actin) was conducted in the liver.\u00a0Results:\u00a0Steatosis was detected at 8 months but not at 4 months of age. Moreover, BCX supplementation significantly reduced the severity of steatosis in the livers of BCO2 KO mice, which was associated with changes in hepatic SIRT1 acetylation of FOXO1, PGC1\u03b1 protein expression and PPAR\u03b1 protein expression in BCO2-\/-<\/sup> KO mice. HPLC analysis showed that hepatic BCX was detected in BCX supplemented groups, but there were no differences in the hepatic levels of retinol and retinyl palmitate (RP) among all groups.\u00a0Conclusions:\u00a0The present study provided experimental evidence that BCX intervention can reduce liver steatosis independent of BCO2.<\/span><\/p>\n
