    Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Sa?de e Nutri??o. Escola de Nutri??o, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.A doen?a hep?tica gordurosa n?o alco?lica (NAFLD) ? caracterizada pelo ac?mulo de gordura no f?gado de pacientes sem hist?ria de consumo excessivo de ?lcool. A NAFLD ? classificada como esteatose simples, na qual ocorre a deposi??o de gordura nos hepat?citos ou como esteatohepatite (NASH) na qual, al?m de dep?sitos de gordura ocorre necroinflama??o. Altera??es no metabolismo de lip?dios e nos mecanismos antioxidantes t?m sido relacionadas como fatores promotores da doen?a. O consumo excessivo de frutose pode causar danos hep?ticos caracter?sticos dessa doen?a. A frutose pode estimular a s?ntese de novo de lip?dios e seu efeito lipog?nico n?o ? mediado exclusivamente pelo excesso de substrato. Tem sido demonstrado que o excesso de frutose altera vias de sinaliza??o regulat?rias impactando o metabolismo de macronutrientes e alterando o processo inflamat?rio. Estudos demonstram que o a?a?, fruto da palmeira EUTERPE OLERACEA MART. afeta o metabolismo de lip?dios e pode, portanto, ter efeito protetor sobre a esteatose hep?tica, al?m de apresentar efeito anti-inflamat?rio e antioxidante. Assim, o presente estudo avaliou os benef?cios da suplementa??o com a?a? sobre os danos hep?ticos causados pelo excesso de frutose em ratos da linhagem Fischer. Foram utilizados 30 ratos (machos) divididos em 2 grupos: grupo C (grupo controle) recebeu dieta padr?o AIN-93M (10 animais) e o grupo F (grupo frutose) recebeu dieta contendo 60% de frutose (20 animais). Ap?s 8 semanas, 10 animais do grupo frutose passaram a receber a mesma dieta contendo 2% de a?a? liofilizado, grupo FA (frutose+a?a?). Os ratos foram alimentados ad libitum com estas dietas por mais 10 semanas. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de normalidade de Kolmogorov Smirnov. Aqueles cuja distribui??o foi param?trica foram analisados pelo teste One-Way ANOVA, seguido do p?s-teste de Tukey. Os dados com distribui??o n?o param?trica foram avaliados pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis seguido pelo p?s-teste de Dunn's. As diferen?as foram consideradas significativas para p < 0,05. Os resultados obtidos mostram o efeito hiperglic?mico e hipertriglicerid?mico decorrente da dieta rica em frutose e altera??es caracter?sticas de esteatose hep?tica foram confirmadas pela an?lise histol?gica do f?gado. Essa dieta tamb?m alterou a atividade de enzimas hep?ticas e enzimas antioxidantes. O tratamento com a?a? (FA) reduziu a atividade da alanina animotransferase e reduziu parcialmente fosfatase alcalina em rela??o ao grupo frutose (F), a atividade da paroxonase sobre o substrato paroxon, reduziu parcialmente em rela??o ao grupo frutose (F) e catalase reduziu a n?veis iguais ao controle. A adi??o de a?a? aumentou a rela??o da glutationa total por oxidada (GSH/GSSG) e reduziu o grau de esteatose macroves?cular e microves?cular. Dessa forma, a ingest?o da dieta rica em frutose por esse per?odo foi eficaz em promover a esteatose hep?tica, e a suplementa??o com a?a? revelou melhorar algumas das vari?veis estudadas, sugerindo um poss?vel efeito protetor desse fruto.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by fat accumulation in the liver of patients without history of excessive alcohol consumption. The NAFLD is classified as simple fatty liver, which occurs in the deposition of fat in hepatocytes, and as steatohepatitis (NASH) in which, in addition to fatty deposits occur necroinflammation. Changes in lipid metabolism and antioxidant mechanisms have been implicated as promoting factors of the disease. Excessive consumption of fructose can cause liver damage characteristic of this disease. Fructose can stimulate de novo synthesis of lipids and its lipogenic effect is not mediated exclusively by excess substrate. It has been shown that the excess fructose modifies regulatory signaling pathways impacts the macronutrients metabolism and altering the inflammatory process. It has been shown that the acai fruit of EUTERPE OLERACEA MART. palm tree affects the lipid metabolism and may therefore have protective effects on hepatic steatosis, besides having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect. The present study evaluated the benefits of a?a? supplementation on the liver damage caused by fructose rich-diet in rats Fischer lineage. 30 rats (males) divided into 2 groups: Group C (control group) received standard diet AIN-93M (10 animals) and F group (fructose group) received a diet containing 60% fructose (20 animals). After eight weeks, 10 animals of the fructose group stard receiving the same, but now containing 2% freeze dried acai, FA group (fructose + acai). The rats were fed these diets ad libitum for 10 weeks. The data were submitted to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test. Those whose distribution was parametric were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-test. The data with non-parametric distribution were evaluated by the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's post-test. Differences were considered significant for p <0.05. The results show the hyperglycemic effect and hypertriglyceridemia due to diet high in fructose and changes characteristics of hepatic steatosis were confirmed by histological analysis in liver. This diet has also altered activity of liver enzymes and antioxidant enzymes. Treatment with acai (FA) reduces animotransferase alanine activity and reduced partially alkaline phosphatase compared to fructose group (F), the paraoxonase activity about paroxon substrate decreased partially with respect to fructose group (F) and catalase reduced levels equal to control. Adding acai increased the ratio of the total glutathione to oxidized (GSH / GSSG) and reduced the degree of macrovesicular and microvesicular steatosis. Thus, the intake of diet rich in fructose for this period was effective in promoting hepatic steatosis, and supplementation with acai revealed improve some of the variables studied, suggesting a possible protective effect of this fruit

    ABSTRACT Objective In the biome of the Brazilian Cerrado, there are a lot of fruit tree species that stand out for their sensory quality and for presenting potentialities in the market of pulp and almond. Among these species, the pequi deserves attention because it has an almond rich in proteins and that is little explored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological quality of defatted pequi seed flour supplemented with lysine. Methods Two designs were done in this study; in the first, the animals were divided into four diet groups: control, protein-free, defatted pequi seed flour and defatted pequi seed flour supplemented with lysine. The protein-free diet was exempt of proteins and the other diets had a protein content of 10% and differed in protein source (casein: control diet or defatted pequi seed flour: test diets). The experiment lasted for 14 days. In the second design, 36 animals were used and followed-up for 28 days. The division of the experimental groups was kept, except for the protein-free diet group, which was excluded. By the end of the test, the animals were anaesthetised and euthanized. Results The results showed that the protein efficiency ratio of the control group was significantly higher than the other groups. For the other indices, the groups that received defatted pequi seed flour did not differ statistically among themselves. Conclusion These findings have shown an effect of supplementation on the protein efficiency ratio when comparing the test diets, however, when compared to the control group, no improvement was found

    Introduction: the excessive consumption of fructose can cause liver damage, characteristic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with changes in lipid metabolism and antioxidant defenses. A?ai, the fruit of Euterpe oleracea Mart., has demonstrated numerous biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and lipid metabolism modulating action. Objective: we evaluated the benefits of a?ai supplementation on liver damage caused by replacing starch with fructose in rats. Methods: thirty male Fischer rats were divided into two groups, the control group (C, 10 animals), which consumed a standard diet (AIN-93M), and the fructose (F, 20 animals) group, which consumed a diet containing 60% of fructose. After eight weeks, 10 animals from the fructose group received 2% of lyophilized a?ai, and were called the a?ai fructose group (FA). The animals were fed ad libitum with these diets for another ten weeks. Serum, hepatic and fecal lipid profile, antioxidant enzymes and carbonylated protein were assessed and histopathological characterization of the liver was performed. Results: a?ai promoted the reduction of ALT activity in relation to the fructose group (F), reduced alkaline phosphatase to a level similar to that of the control group (C) in relation to the fructose group (F), and reduced catalase activity. The fruit also increased the ratio of total/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) and reduced the degree of macrovesicular steatosis and the number of inflammatory cells. Conclusion: the replacement of starch by fructose during this period was effective in promoting NAFLD. A?ai showed attenuating effects on some markers of hepatic steatosis and inflammation.Introducci?n: el consumo excesivo de fructosa puede causar da?o hep?tico, caracter?stico de la enfermedad hep?tica grasa no alcoh?lica (EHGNA), asociada con cambios en el metabolismo de los l?pidos y defensas antioxidantes. El a?ai, fruto del Euterpe oleracea Mart., ha demostrado desempe?ar numerosas actividades biol?gicas, incluidas acciones antiinflamatorias, antioxidantes y moduladoras del metabolismo lip?dico. Objetivo: se evaluaron los beneficios de la suplementaci?n con a?ai en el da?o hep?tico causado por la sustituci?n del almid?n por fructosa en ratas. M?todos: se distribuyeron 30 ratas Fischer macho en dos grupos: 10 ratas en el grupo control (C), que consum?a una dieta est?ndar (AIN-93M), y 20 ratas en el grupo fructosa (F), que consum?a una dieta que conten?a un 60% de fructosa. Despu?s de ocho semanas, diez animales del grupo fructosa recibieron un 2% de a?ai liofilizado, por lo que pasaron a integrar el grupo a?ai fructosa (FA). Los animales fueron alimentados ad libitum con estas dietas durante otras diez semanas. Se analizaron el perfil lip?dico hep?tico y fecal, las enzimas antioxidantes y la prote?na carbonilada, y se realiz? la caracterizaci?n histopatol?gica del h?gado. Resultados: el a?ai promovi? la reducci?n de la actividad de ALT en relaci?n al grupo de fructosa (F) y la reducci?n de la fosfatasa alcalina a niveles similares a los hallados en el grupo control (C) en relaci?n con el grupo de fructosa (F). El fruto tambi?n aument? la proporci?n de glutati?n total/oxidado (GSH/GSSG) y redujo el grado de esteatosis macrovesicular y el n?mero de c?lulas inflamatorias. Conclusi?n: la sustituci?n de almid?n por fructosa durante este periodo fue eficaz en la promoci?n de NAFLD. El a?ai mostr? efectos atenuantes en algunos marcadores de esteatosis hep?tica y de inflamaci?n

    Mayaro virus (MAYV) causes Mayaro fever in humans, a self-limiting acute disease, with persistent arthralgia and arthritis. Although MAYV has a remerging potential, its pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we characterized a model of MAYV infection in 3?4-week BALB/c mice. We investigated whether the liver acts as a site of viral replication and if the infection could cause histopathological alterations and an imbalance in redox homeostasis, culminating with oxidative stress. MAYV-infected mice revealed lower weight gain; however, the disease was self-resolving. High virus titre, neutralizing antibodies, and increased levels of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases were detected in the serum. Infectious viral particles were recovered in the liver of infected animals and the histological examination of liver tissues revealed significant increase in the inflammatory infiltrate. MAYV induced significant oxidative stress in the liver of infected animals, as well as a deregulation of enzymatic antioxidant components. Collectively, this is the first study to report that oxidative stress occurs in MAYV infection in vivo, and that it may be crucial in virus pathogenesis. Future studies are warranted to address the alternative therapeutic strategies for Mayaro fever, such as those based on antioxidant compounds

    Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most predominant liver disease worldwide, is a progressive condition that encompasses a spectrum of disorders ranging from steatosis to steatohepatitis, and, ultimately, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although the underlying mechanism is complex and multifactorial, several intracellular events leading to its progression have been identified, including oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and altered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis. Phenolic compounds, such as those present in a?ai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), are considered promising therapeutic agents due to their possible beneficial effects on the prevention and treatment of NAFLD. We tested in vitro effects of aqueous a?ai extract (AAE) in HepG2 cells and its influence on oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and inflammation in a murine model of high fat diet-induced NAFLD. In vitro AAE exhibited high antioxidant capacity, high potential to inhibit reactive oxygen species production, and no cytotoxicity. In vivo, AAE administration (3?g/kg) for six weeks attenuated liver damage (alanine aminotransferase levels), inflammatory process (number of inflammatory cells and serum TNF?), and oxidative stress, through the reduction of lipid peroxidation and carbonylation of proteins determined by OxyBlot and modulation of the antioxidant enzymes: glutathione reductase, SOD and catalase. No change was observed in collagen content indicating an absence of fibrosis, stress-related genes in RE, and protein expression of caspase-3, a marker of apoptosis. With these results, we provide evidence that a?ai exhibits hepatoprotective effects and may prevent the progression of liver damage related to NAFLD by targeting pathways involved in its progression
