ABSTRACT

Dois biomarcadores do estresse oxidativo foram avaliados em indivíduos saudáveis que receberam doses diárias de suco de laranja, notadamente uma fonte de vitamina C e de flavanonas, que têm sido associadas aos efeitos antioxidante, anti-inflamatório e hipolipidêmico. A capacidade antioxidante do soro sanguíneo foi avaliada através da redução do radical 2,2-difenil-1-picril-hidrazila (DPPH) e a peroxidação lipídica foi avaliada pela presença de substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS). Os resultados mostraram que após o período de suplementação com o suco de laranja houve um aumento 150% na capacidade antioxidante no soro das mulheres e 200% no soro dos homens (p<0,001), mas não houve alteração na peroxidação lipídica no sangue dos voluntários. Concluindo, o aumento das reservas de flavanonas e de vitamina C, decorrente da ingestão regular de suco de laranja, melhorou expressivamente a capacidade antioxidante no sangue, sem, entretanto, apresentar efeito sobre a peroxidação lipídica.


Two biomarkers of oxidative stress were evaluated in healthy volunteers treated with daily doses of orange juice that is well known source of vitamin C and citric flavanones, which have been associated with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hypolipidemic effects. The antioxidant capacity in the blood serum was evaluated by studying the scavenging of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical, and also lipid peroxidation was evaluated by the thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) assay. The results have shown that the regular consumption of orange juice increased 150% and 200% the serum antioxidant capacity for women and men respectively, but it was no significant change in the serum lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, the increase of flavonones and vitamin C in the body due to the regular intake of orange juice expressively improved the antioxidant capacity, but without significant effect on the lipid peroxidation.

ABSTRACT

Cyclic oligomers were identified in PET bottles used for mineral water and fruit juice using MS and (1)H and (13)C NMR: a first series cyclic trimer, a first series cyclic tetramer, a first series cyclic dimmer and a second series cyclic trimer. An analytical method to determine first series cyclic trimer in these bottles was developed and validated, using HPLC. The first series cyclic trimer levels were 316-462 mg/100g of PET bottle.

ABSTRACT

The characteristics, performance, and application of an electrode, namely, Pt|Hg|Hg(2)(PABzt)(2)| graphite, where PABzt stands for p-aminobenzoate ion, are described. This electrode responds to PABzt with sensivity of (58.1+/-1.0) mV per decade over the range 1.0x10(-4) to 1.0x10(-1)moll(-1) at pH 6.5-8.0 and a detection limit of 3.2x10(-5)moll(-1). The electrode shows easy construction, fast response time (within 10-30s), low-cost, and excellent response stability (lifetime greater than 6 months, in continuous use). The proposed sensor displayed good selectivity for p-aminobenzoate in the presence of several substances, especially, concerning carboxylate and inorganic anions. It was used to determine p-aminobenzoate in pharmaceutical formulations by means of the standard additions method. The results obtained by using this electrode compared very favorably with those given by an HPLC procedure.
