Jaboticaba (myrciaria Jaboticaba (vell.) Berg.) Peel Increased Triglycerides Excretion And Hepatic Lipid Peroxidation In High-fat-fed Rats [consumo De Casca De Jabuticaba (myrciaria Jaboticaba (vell.) Berg.) Melhorou A Excreção De Triglicerídeos E A Peroxidação Lipídica Hepática De Ratos Alimentados Com Dieta Hiperlipídica]

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of high-fat diets with 1%, 2%, and 4% freeze-dried jaboticaba peel on the serum, liver, and fecal lipid profile of obese rats. Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups. Obesity was induced in four groups using a high-fat diet (35% lipids). One group was used as a high-fat diet control (High-fat group - HF). The other three high-fat-diet groups were given 1%, 2%, and 4% freeze-dried jaboticaba peel (High-Fat Jaboticaba - HFJ1, HFJ2, and HFJ4, respectively) in the last 40 experimental days. Blood and the liver were collected after 70 days of treatment and feces were collected in the last experimental week. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipids were measured in the serum, liver, and dried feces. Results In the second phase of the experiment, HFJ4 group consumed more food and calories than the high-fat group. Total serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels did not differ in the experimental groups. HFJ2 group had the highest hepatic and fecal lipid contents compared with the group fed a diet with normal fat content (N), but low hepatic lipid peroxidation. HFJ4 group had the highest mean hepatic and fecal cholesterol levels. Hepatic triglyceride levels did not differ among the groups, and groups HFJ1 and HFJ4 presented the highest fecal triglyceride content. Conclusion The amounts of jaboticaba peel used by this study did not protect against hepatic steatosis or undesired levels of other studied lipids, but it did increase fecal triglycerides. Lipid peroxidation in the liver decreased in the HFJ2 group.265571581Abe, L.T., Lajolo, F.M., Genovese, M.I., Potential dietary sources of ellagic acid and other antioxidants among fruits consumed in Brazil: Jabuticaba (Myrciaria jaboticaba (Vell) Berg) (2012) J Sci Food Agric, 92 (8), pp. 1679-87. , doi: 10.1002/Jsfa5531Lima, A.D.B., Correa, A.D., Saczk, A.A., Martins, M.P., Castilho, R.O., Anthocyanins, pigment stability and antioxidant activity in jabuticaba [Myrciaria Cauliflora (Mart) OBerg].

Verificação de antagonismo entre larvas de Schistosoma mansoni e larvas de outros Digenea em Biomphalaria tenagophila, molusco planobídeo de criadouro natural situado na região de Campinas, SP, Brasil Verification of the antagonism between larvae of Schistosoma mansoni and those of other Digenea in Biomphalaria tenagophila, a planorbid molusc from a natural breeding ground in the region of Campinas, SP, Brazil

Foi observado o comportamento de larvas de S. mansoni em moluscos prévia e naturalmente infectados por larvas de outros Digenea. Foi verificado que as larvas de S. mansoni não se desenvolveram nos moluscos previamente infectados com purcocercárias longifurcadas com ocelos ou com furcocercárias longifurcadas sem ocelos. Observou-se resistência parcial ao desenvolvimento de S. mansoni nos moluscos previamente infectados por equinostomocercárias ou por distomocercárias com acúleo. A ausência de reação amebocitária em torno dos esporocistos de S. mansoni nos moluscos infectados por outros digenéticos parece indicar a não participação dos amebócitos na resistência oferecida ao desenvolvimento das larvas de S. mansoni.<br>The objective of the present work is to study the development of S. mansoni larvae in snails found naturally infected by other digenetic trematode larvae. It was found that S. mansoni larvae did not develop in snails previoulsy infected by furcicercariae either with or without ocelli. Partial resistance to the development of S. mansoni was observed in snails previously infected by cercariae of Echinostomatidae or by cercariae with aculeus of Distomata. Absence of amoebocitary reaction around the S. mansoni sporocysts in snails previously infected by other digenetic trematodes indicates that amoebocytes did not play any role in the resistance mechanism
