Effects of liquid extract from Plinia cauliflora fruits residues on Chinese hamsters biochemical parameters / Efeitos do extrato líquido de resíduos de frutos de Plinia cauliflora sobre os parâmetros bioquímicos de hamsters chineses

Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel, popularly known as jabuticaba, is rich in polyphenols. Phenolic compounds exhibit several biological properties, which reflect on biomarkers such as biochemical parameters. In the present study, we evaluated the plasmatic levels of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and uric acid of Chinese hamsters fed for 45 days with a regular diet or cholesterol-enriched diet supplemented with a liquid extract obtained from P. cauliflora fruits residues standardized in ellagic acid and total phenolic compounds. The results showed that the concentrated extract obtained from jabuticaba residues increased the glycemia of animals fed with a regular diet and reduced the plasmatic uric acid levels of animals fed with a cholesterol-enriched diet. Since hyperuricemia is considered to be a significant risk factor of metabolic disorders and the principal pathological basis of gout, the liquid extract from P. cauliflora fruits residues would be a promising candidate as a novel hypouricaemic agent for further investigation.

Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel, popularmente conhecida como jabuticaba, é rica em polifenois. Os compostos fenólicos apresentam diversas propriedades biológicas, que refletem em biomarcadores, como os parâmetros bioquímicos. No presente estudo, avaliamos os níveis plasmáticos de glicose, colesterol total, HDL-colesterol, triglicerídeos e ácido úrico em hamsters chineses alimentados por 45 dias com dieta regular ou dieta enriquecida com colesterol suplementada com extrato líquido obtido de resíduos de frutos de P. cauliflora padronizado em ácido elágico e compostos fenólicos totais. Os resultados mostraram que o extrato concentrado obtido dos resíduos de jabuticaba aumentou a glicemia dos animais alimentados com dieta regular e reduziu os níveis plasmáticos de ácido úrico dos animais alimentados com dieta rica em colesterol. Uma vez que a hiperuricemia é considerada um fator de risco significativo de distúrbios metabólicos e a principal base patológica da gota, o extrato líquido dos resíduos de frutas de P. cauliflora seria um candidato promissor como um novo agente hipouricêmico para investigação posterior.

Guía dietética para pacientes con hiperuricemia y gota agar / Dietary guide for patients with hyperuricaemia and drop agar

Gota proviene del latin Gutta es un término acuñado en el siglo V que significa exceso o derrame de flema por exceso de vino, comida y sexo. Llamada "Rey de las enfermedades yenfermedad de reyes" fue uno de los primeros desordenes reumáticos en ser reconocidos como entidad clínic a. Es la artritis por deposito de microcri s tales más común debida a desequilibrio en el metabolismo de las purinas que conlleva a hiperuricemia y el depósito de cristales de urato monosódico, caracterizada por ser de inicio monoarticular, que a fecta con mayor frecuencia la primera articulación metatarso de pie y que progresa en su forma crónica a poliarticular, asociada a destrucción progresiva y a la formación de tofos, falla renal y enfermedad cardiovascular. Predomina sexo masculino, su pr evalencia se calcula de 0.08% a nivel mundial, aumentando la frecuencia de sus ataques con el alto contenido de carnes, mariscos, cervezas y bebidas espirituosas. El objetivo de la presente revisión bibliográfica es proporcionar una guía dietética para lo s médicos enfatizando y destacando su contenido de purinas en alimentos de uso cotidiano en la población guatemalteca, para obtener un mejor control de la artritis gotosa y disminuir la frecuencia de sus ataques ...(AU)

Gota comes from Latin Gutta is a term coined in the fifth century that means excess or spill of phlegm for excess wine, food and sex. Called "King of diseases and disease of kings" was one of the first rheumatic disorders to be recognized as a clinical entity. Arthritis is the most common microcritical deposit due to imbalance in the metabolism of purines that leads to hyperuricemia and the deposition of monosodium urate crystals, characterized by monoarticular initiation, which most often occurs with the first metatarsal joint. standing up and progressing in its form chronic to polyarticular, associated with progressive destruction and the formation of tophi, renal failure and cardiovascular disease. Male sex predominates, its pr evance is estimated at 0.08% worldwide, increasing the frequency of its attacks with the high content of meats, seafood, beers and spirits. The aim of this bibliographical review is to provide a dietary guide for physicians emphasizing and highlighting their content of purines in foods of daily use in the Guatemalan population, to obtain a better control of gouty arthritis and to reduce the frequency of their attacks. ..
