ABSTRACT

In this work, thirty adult male albino rats were used to study the effect of chromium deficiency and supplementation on carbohydrates and lipid metabolism. Rats were divided into three equal groups control, chromium deficient and chromium supplemented. Rats of the first group were fed on normal diet, rats of the second group were fed on a chromium deficient diet. Rats of the third group were fed on the same chromium deficient diet but were supplemented with oral chromium picolinate [90 |-l micro gm / kg body weight] daily for forty five days. At the end of the experimental period [45 days] plasma glucose, insulin serum triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL and HDL were determined. The study showed that chromium deficiency led to a significant increase in plasma glucose level, and insulin with insignificant changes in serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL and LDL as compared to control group. The study showed also that chromium supplementation led to an insignificant increase in serum glucose and insulin with significant decrease in serum triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL and a significant increase in serum HDL

ABSTRACT

Dezenove culturas de C. dubliniensis isoladas no Brasil, previamente identificadas através de métodos genotípicos, foram avaliadas pelo kit comercial ID 32C (bioMerieux). Treze culturas foram identificadas como C. dubliniensis, mas as demais (seis) evidenciaram perfil duvidoso, embora o software do sistema sugerisse 83,6% de chances das mesmas pertencerem à espécie C. dubliniensis. A literatura tem registrado grande variabilidade fenotípica com esta espécie e, por isto, as identificações obtidas com este sistema deverão ser consideradas como presuntivas.

ABSTRACT

A dieta AIN-93, recomendada para roedores, é suplementada com o aminoácido sulfurado L-cistina. Existem dúvidas quanto à necessidade dessa suplementação. Estudamos em três grupos de ratos machos Wistar, dietas sem suplementação (Ssa), suplementada com L-cistina (Cis), e suplementada com DL-metionina (Met). Comparamos peso corporal, consumo, tolerância à glicose, análises bioquímicas e leptina, nos fins do período de crescimento e manutenção, que foram semelhantes entre os grupos. Composição corporal e ensaios em adipócitos não mostraram diferença importante. Resultados mais homogêneos foram do grupo Met indicando a metionina como mais fisiológico./The AIN-93 diet, recommended for rodents, is supplemented with the sulfur amino acid L-cystine. Doubts how necessary is this supplementation exists. We study in three groups of male rats Wistar, diets without supplementation (Ssa), supplemented with L-cystine (Cis), and supplemented with DL-methionine (Met). We compare body weight, consumption, glucose tolerance, biochemical analysis and leptin, in the ends of growth and maintenance period, that had been similar between groups. Body composition and assays in adipocytes had not shown important difference. More homogeneous results had been of the Met group indicating methionine the more physiological...

ABSTRACT

The effect of metribuzin at different doses [0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0kg ha-1] was studied on intact pot normally-grown seedlings of two tomato genotypes [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill, cv. Karnak vfnt F-1 and Castle rock]. The herbicide caused significant inhibitions in dry weight and protein contents of shoots and roots of both tomato genotypes. Significant reductions in chlorophyll, carotenoids, glucose, sucrose and starch were observed. The reduction was more pronounced at higher metribuzin doses. Possible tolerance to the herbicide in both genotypes was checked using tissue culture methods. Cotyledons and leaf discs from shoots regenerated on media containing different concentrations of metribuzin [0, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mgM]were used to initiate three successive cycles of selection. Similar to potted plants, significant reductions in dry weight and protein content in shoots and roots of the in vitro selected plants were observed as well as in contents of chlorophylls, carotenoids, glucose, sucrose and starch of both tomato genotypes. The inhibition was remarkable at the high concentrations of metribuzin throughout the three cycles of selection. The magnitude of inhibition was relatively lesser in the 3rd cycle compared to the 1st or the 2nd cycles. Therefore, the effects of metribuzin on tomato appeared as declined after three cycles of the in vitro selection. Such decline could be regarded as a partial recovery response. This recovery response after three cycles of in vitro selection could point to a possibility of some developed resistance to the herbicide throughout the successive cycles

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the effects of fasting on anthropometric indices and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in patients with type II diabetes. Design: Observational non-interventional study. Place and Duration of Study:: Diabetes clinic, Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran during Ramadan 1419 [winter 1998-99]. Patients and Fifty-seven volunteers with type II diabetes underwent anthropometric and biochemical evaluation before and on the 14th and 28th days of Ramadan. Biochemical markers were measured by standard laboratory methods and anthropometric indices by WHO criteria. Statistical analysis was done by ANOVA for repeated measurements and Friedman's two-way ANOVA using SPSSv6 software. Daily cholesterol intake increased in all subjects [p<0.03]. Body mass index increased in women [p<0.03], but BMI and waist-hip ratio both decreased in men [p<0.01]. Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and serum fructosamine did not change during the study. Plasma insulin [p<0.05], C-peptide [p<0.01] and insulin resistance [p<0.01] decreased only in men. Total and LDL cholesterol increased significantly in all subjects during the study. Ramadan fasting does not alter carbohydrate metabolism or tissue insulin sensitivity in patients with type II diabetes given appropriate dietary education and rescheduling of oral hypoglycaemic medication. Lipid profile is unfavourably altered due to changes in both diet and biochemical response to starvation

ABSTRACT

The carbohydrate moieties of larval sparganum proteins in two different species, the snakes, Elaphe rufodorsata, the Balb/c mouse and those of the adult worm, Spirometra erinacei, were compared using five different lectins including GNA, SNA, MAA, PNA and DSA. The GNA positive 53 kDa molecule, which is excretory-secretory protease in the sparganum from the snake showed a stage specific and developmental regulation. We also suggested that sparganum glycosylation may be involved in immune evasion and differentiation into an adult worm.

ABSTRACT

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the vasodilator PGE2 on carbohydrate metabolism in both normotensive and hypertensive adult male rats. PGE2 was injected intraperitoneally in a dose of 40 mug/kg body weight per day to normotensive and hypertensive groups for 8, 16, and 24 days. Hypertension was induced in normal rats by administration one subcutaneous injection of an aqueous suspension of 25 mg/kg body weight of deoxycorticosterone acetate [DOCA] per week. Moreover, a saline solution was given to rats to drink during the four weeks of hypertension induction periods. PGE2 caused significant glycogenolytic effect with a corresponding hyperglycemia after 16 and 24 days of treatment in normotensives and hypertensives. However, glucose-6-phosphatase exhibited insignificant increase throughout the experimental periods. Lactate levels in serum increased insignificantly, but the increase reached significant value after 24 days of treatment in normotensive animals. Activity of lactate dehydrogenase in serum and liver did not change significantly after injecting PGE2 at any time interval. Long-term administration of low doses of PGE2 caused significant increases in serum glucose with corresponding declines in liver glycogen levels in both normotensive and hypertensive rats

ABSTRACT

A glutamina é o aminoácido livre mais abundante no plasma e tecido muscular e é utilizada em altas taxas por células de divisão rápida, incluindo leucócitos para fornecer energia e favorecer a biossíntese de nucleotídeos. Entretanto, durante vários estados catabólicos como infecção, cirurgia, trauma e acidose, a homeostase da glutamina é alterada e suas reservas, particularmente no músculo esquelético, são depletadas. O exercício prolongado e intenso causa diminuição das concentrações plasmáticas e musculares de glutamina, as quais podem repercutir sobre a imunocompetência do atleta, aumentando a incidência de infecções do trato respiratório superior. A suplementação de glutamina para atletas visa ao bem-estar geral do indíviduo e apresenta também papel relevante na regulação do metabolismo de carboidratos, síntese protéica e funcionalidade do sistema imune

ABSTRACT

Se compara la oxidación de lípidos y de CHO en mujeres controles y obesas, en condiciones de ayuno y luego de un desayuno de prueba conteniendo ácidos grasos enriquecidos con 13C. Dieciséis mujeres de 40-55 años, saludables, con peso estable en los tres meses previos y durante el estudio fueron agrupadas según índice de masa corporal (IMC): 8 obesas) y 8 normopeso (IMC 30-40 y 20-25 respectivamente). El metabolismo oxidativo se estudió en tres oportunidades en cada sujeto bajo condiciones de reposo: 1) bajo condiciones post absortivas (TMR), 2) luego de un desayuno (aporte energético equivalente al 40 por ciento del TMR) con adición de 13C-ácido octanoico y 3) idem, pero con adición de 13C-ácido palmítico en reemplazo del ác. octanoico. El gasto energético y la oxidación total de sustratos se evaluó con calorimetría indirecta (CAL). La oxidación de los sustratos marcados, se evaluó por espectrometría de masas y CAL. Bajo condiciones de ayuno, ambos grupos utilizaron como principal combustible metabólico a las grasas (66,38 ñ 35,08 por ciento las obesas y 56,83 ñ 28,18 por ciento las normopeso). Bajo condiciones de alimentación, las obesas oxidaron mayor cantidad de lípidos (55,23 ñ 20,44 por ciento vs 40,84 ñ 17,39 por ciento en controles), tanto en forma total como ajustado por la cantidad de grasa ingerida, peso y composición corporal (p<0,05). La oxidación de lípidos estuvo en directa asociación con la masa grasa de los sujetos (r=0,66). Luego de 3 horas, la oxidación de ácido 13C-octanoico, fue similar en ambos grupos (21,3 ñ 10,4 en obesas y 26,5 ñ 9,0 por ciento en controles). La oxidación de 13C-palmítico fue muy baja en ambos grupos, aunque significativamente menor en las obesas (0,5 por ciento ñ 0,2 por ciento vs 0,9 por ciento ñ 0,4 por ciento). La mayor oxidación de lípidos según CAL, en obesos de peso estable, puede responder a un mecanismo destinado a prevenir nuevas ganancias de peso o pudiera representar una complicación metabólica del exceso de peso

ABSTRACT

A influência da glândula pineal sobre o metabolismo de carboidratos vem sendo investigada há décadas. Entretanto, resultados contraditórios não esclarecem, até o momento, o verdadeiro papel da melatonina sobre a homeostasia dos carboidratos. Através de estudos recentes, contribuímos de maneira ineqüívoca para a caracterização do papel da glândula pineal como moduladora do metabolismo de carboidratos. Além disso, à luz dos conhecimentos atuais, demonstramos quais passos do mecanismo de ação da insulina estão envolvidos nessa modulação. Nossos estudos revelaram que a pinealectomia promove um quadro de resistência à insulina, sem obesidade. A captação máxima de 2-deoxi-glicose, estimulada por insulina, em adipócitos isolados está diminuída, sem entretanto modificar a capacidade da insulina ligar-se ao seu receptor e estimular a fosforilação dos substratos intracelulares representados pela pp 185. Por outro lado, em vários tecidos sensíveis à insulina, observou-se uma diminuição no conteúdo da proteína transportadora de glicose GLUT4, mas diminuição no mRNA do GLUT4 apenas em alguns desses tecidos, sugerindo uma regulação tecido-específica. Adicionalmente, foi demonstrado que a regulação da glândula pineal sobre o metabolismo de carboidratos é mediado pela melatonina: o hormônio aumentou a sensibilidade à insulina de adipócitos isolados e o tratamento de reposição com melatonina restaurou o conteúdo de GLUT4 no tecido adiposo branco. Em síntese, os estudos aqui relatados evidenciam um importante papel da glândula pineal na modulação da homeostasia de carboidratos. Essa regulação é dependente da melatonina e pode ser resumida, até o presente momento, como um aumento da sensibilidade tecidual à insulina, que envolve alterações na expressão gênica do GLUT4.

ABSTRACT

La exposición de hembras de sapo Buffo arerarum a aguas del río Reconquista (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) conduce a la acumulación de zinc (Zn) en sus ovarios. Las hembras tratadas de esta forma son capaces de ovular cuando son inyectadas con macerado de hipófisis, al igual que hembras controles. Los ovocitos obtenidos de hembras tratadas son capaces de fertilizar y desarrollar normalmente hasta el estadío de gástrula, mientras que presentan un 27 por ciento de inhibición del desarrollo embrionario a partir del estadío denominado respuesta muscular. In vivo la microinyección de Zn en ovocitos controles simultáneamente con [U-14C] Glucosa evidenció disminución en la síntesis de glucógeno y en la oxidación de la glucosa a través de la vía de las pentosas. La actividad de la enzima glucosa-6-fosfato deshidrogenasa en ausencia de agregado de Zn fue de 371,8 x 10 -3 U/ml.min. La enzima fue inhibida en vitro por el metal en forma dependiente de la concentración. Utilizando una concentración igual a 1,53mM de Zn, similar a la incorporada en ovario y a la microinyectada en los ensayos con glucosa radiactiva, se alcanzó un 62 por ciento de la máxima inhibición correspondiente a 3mM de Zn (248,7x10-3U/ml.min). Estos resultados concuerdan con un efecto inhibitorio del Zn sobre el desarrollo embrionario, mediado probablemente por una deficiente producción de NADPH, ribosa-5 fosfato y ATP en los ovocitos.

ABSTRACT

Vinegar was obtained from bee (Apis mellifera) honey. The wort was prepared by diluting honey in distilled water to 21 per cent total solids and by adding ammonium sulfate and ammonium phosphate. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was inoculated to the wort (4 g/L). Ethanol production was carried out at room temperature during 84 hours. In this study, 1 Kg of honey yielded about 5 L of wine, containing 8 per cent alcohol (v/v), from a wort with 17.11 per cent total sugars (w/v). The efficiency of the alcoholic fermentation was 81.34 per cent. The acetic fermentation with an inoculum of mixed acetic microorganisms was performed by quick process in a 15 L vertical fermenter. This resulted in a vinegar containing up to 9 per cent of acetic acid (w/v) and about 1 per cent of alcohol (v/v). The acetic fermentation yielded between 91.24 and 97.21 per cent. Approximately 5 L of honey vinegar with 9 per cent acetic acid (w/v) were obtained from 1 Kg of bee honey. All attributes of honey vinegar showed acceptability index over 70 per cent: 95.37 per cent for appearance, 94.81 per cent for color, 79.07 per cent for odor and 75.56 per cent for flavor, indicating it would show good consumer acceptability.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Associado ao efeito anti-hipertensivo, avaliar as possíveis influências sobre o metabolismo de carboidratos do inibidor da enzima conversora trandolapril em hipertensos primários de grau leve e moderado. Métodos: Foram selecionados pacientes, entre 30-65 anos de idade, portadores de hipertensão arterial leve e moderada, pressão arterial diastólica entre 95-115 mmHg. Após duas semanas de placebo foram avaliados clínico-laboratorialmente e receberam transdolapril 2 mg, dose única diária, por um período de 8 semanas, repetindo-se o perfil laboratorial neste segundo momento. O metabolismo de carboidratos foi avaliado através do teste oral de tolerância à glicose com ingestão de 75 g de glicose. Resultados: Foram estudados 16 pacientes, 11 mulheres, 13 brancos e idade 56 + 10 anos. Onze pacientes receberam tratamento com diuréticos previamente ao período placebo. Observamos eficácia anti-hipertensiva em 63 por cento e normalização da pressão arterial em 56 por cento. Houve redução discreta, mas estatisticamente significante do índice de massa corporal de 27,77 + 2,60 para 27,42 + 2,44 kh/m2 (p = 0,04). Não houve alteração da homeostase da glicose comparando-se os diversos índices, áreas sob a curva de glicose e insulina, insulina de jejum, resistência e sensibilidade à insulina e resposta insulinogênica à glicose antes e após o tratamento com trandolapril. Conclusão: O inibidor da enzima conversora trandolapril como monoterapia foi eficaz no controle pressórico de hipertensos leves e moderados sem alterar o metabolismo de carboidratos.

ABSTRACT

In this investigation, a sugarcane agroecosystem at a coastal tableland, in the northeast of Brazil, was screened to obtain bacteria strains able to synthesize poly-ß-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA), using sucrose as the main carbon source. The potential to synthesize PHA was tested qualitatively by Sudan Black staining of colonies growing in different carbon sources: sucrose, glucose, fructose, propionate and cellulose. In a typical sugarcane crop management system, the plantation is burned before harvesting and vinasse, a by-product of alchohol production, is used in a fertirrigation system causing, probably, selective pressures on the microbiota of natural environments. Eighty-two bacteria strains, belonging to 16 different genera and 35 different species, were isolated. The data showed that 11 strains (ca 13 per cent), nine of which belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, presented a strong Sudan Black staining in several carbon sources tested and, simultaneously, showed multiple resistance to antibiotics. Resistance to antibiotics is an advantageous feature for the biotechnological production of PHAs. The total number of isolates with multiple resistance to antibotics was 73, and 38 (per cent) of them belong to the genus, Pseudomonas. Among the isolates ca, 86 (per cent) and 43 (per cent) grew in the presence of 10-100U/ml of penicillin and/or 100-300 mg/ml of virginiamycin, respectively. These antiotics are utilized in the alcohol distillery we investigated. The results suggest that some agroecosystem environments could be considered as habitats where bacteria are submitted to nutritional unbalanced conditions, resulting in strains with potential ability to produce PHAs, and also, to an increase in the microbial diversity.

ABSTRACT

En este estudio se evaluaron a 117 pacientes sin diagnóstico previo de alguna enfermedad que alterara el metabolismo de los carbohidratos, a los que se aplicó una encuesta conteniendo diversos factores de riesgo y se realizaron las siguientes mediciones: talla, peso, circunferencia de cintura y cadera, presión arterial. Se les clasificó en tres grupos según el número de puntos de la encuesta: bajo 0-5, mediano 6-10 y alto riesgo más de 11 puntos. Por último, se les practicó una curva de tolerancia oral a la glucosa (CTOG). El 17.9 por ciento (20) correspondió al sexo masculino mientras que el 82.9 por ciento (97) correspondió al sexo femenino. El antecedente de riesgo más importante para diabetes mellitus fue tener un familiar de 1º y 2º grado, tener más de 40 años, no realizar ejercicio regularmente, tener un índice de masa corporal > 27, multiparidad e índice cintura cadera > 0.84. La incidencia de intolerancia a los carbohidratos fue de 23.9 por ciento, con diabetes mellitus 8.5 por ciento y 67.5 por ciento de individuos normales. Se observó que a los individuos ubicados en los grupos de mediano y alto riesgo según la encuesta es necesario considerar la realización de la CTOG. La glucosa plasmática en ayunas no fue el examen de escrutinio ideal. Se recomienda la aplicación de la encuesta como método de detección temprana, así como la CTOG como método de escrutinio después de la encuesta
