RESUMO

There has been substantial interest in phytoestrogens, because of their potential effect in reducing cancer and heart disease risk. Measuring concentrations of phytoestrogens in urine is an alternative method for conducting epidemiological studies. Our objective was to evaluate the urinary excretion of phytoestrogens as biomarkers for dietary phytoestrogen intake in Mexican women. Participants were 100 healthy women from 25 to 80 years of age. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a 24 h recall were used to estimate habitual and recent intakes of isoflavones, lignans, flavonols, coumestrol, resveratrol, naringenin, and luteolin. Urinary concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) using the electrospray ionization interface (ESI) and diode array detector (DAD) (HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS). Spearman correlation coefficients were used to evaluate associations between dietary intake and urine concentrations. The habitual consumption (FFQ) of total phytoestrogens was 37.56 mg/day. In urine, the higher compounds were naringenin (60.1 µg/L) and enterolactone (41.7 µg/L). Recent intakes (24 h recall) of isoflavones (r = 0.460, p < 0.001), lignans (r = 0.550, p < 0.0001), flavonoids (r = 0.240, p < 0.05), and total phytoestrogens (r = 0.410, p < 0.001) were correlated to their urinary levels. Total phytoestrogen intakes estimated by the FFQ showed higher correlations to urinary levels (r = 0.730, p < 0.0001). Urinary phytoestrogens may be useful as biomarkers of phytoestrogen intake, and as a tool for evaluating the relationship of intake and disease risk in Mexican women.

RESUMO

Phytoestrogens have generated interest in human health in view of their potential effect to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases. Serum levels of phytoestrogens have been proposed as an alternative to measure the exposure of phytoestrogens. We evaluated the use of serum as a biomarker of phytoestrogen's intake in healthy women. Phytoestrogens in serum (luteolin, kaempferol, equol, biochanin A, formononetin, quercetin, naringenin, coumestrol, secoisolariciresinol, genistein, matairesinol, enterolactone, enterodiol, daidzein, glycitein and resveratrol) were analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS. Subjects were asked to recall all foods and beverages consumed the previous 24 h. Association of dietary intake and serum concentrations was performed by Spearman correlation. Correlations were found for naringenin (r = 0.47, p < 0.001), luteolin (r = 0.4 p < 0.001), genistein (r = 0.32, p < 0.01) enterolactone (r = 0.35, p = 0.0553), coumestrol (r = 0.26, p = 0.0835) and resveratrol (r = 0.29, p = 0.0517). Serum levels as biomarkers of intake along with a 24-h recall would be useful in order to investigate the relationship between phytoestrogens and health.

RESUMO

This study was conducted to evaluate the presence of cyhialothrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, and deltamethrin in vegetables produced and consumed in Sonora, Mexico. A total of 345 samples were collected from cluster sampling of markets and fields. Approximately 9% of the samples tested positive for pyrethroids (residue range 0.004-0.573 mg kg(-1)). Based on the results, the potential toxicological risk of human exposure to the pyrethroid insecticides measured in vegetables appears to be minimal, with the estimated exposure being 1,000 times lower than admissible levels.

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) on the in vitro cytotoxicity of cypermethrin (CM), and on glutathione (GSH) metabolism in rat hepatocytes. In vitro cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) leakage were measured, as indicators of hepatic damage, at 1, 15 and 30 min of exposure to CM. Glutathione and the activities of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) were also measured. CM hepatotoxicity increased in a time and dose-dependent manner. In the presence of 30 microM CM, ALT and AST also increased 49 and 130% (P < 0.05), respectively, indicating metabolic hepatocyte damage. AA (1 mM) was capable to preserve 100% of cell integrity and modulated ALT and AST. Furthermore, CM induced a 27% reduction in the endogenous antioxidant GSH, and increased 203% GST and 283% gamma-GT (P < 0.05), indicating an oxidative insult. The presence of AA showed chemopreventive capacity against CM, recovering 60% of GSH and a 54% decrease in gamma-GT activity. These results suggest that AA in a 1:33 (CM:AA) ratio can modulate up to 90% of the damage caused to the cells by CM. It also demonstrates that AA can act as a primary antioxidant and hepatoprotector in rat hepatocytes.

RESUMO

Se estudiaron las características químicas, físicas, antifisiológicas y de calidad biológica de la proteína de tres variedades (blanco, café y negro) de frijol tépari (Phaseolus acutifolius). Se determinó su composición proximal, patrones de absorción de agua, dureza del grano, contenido de taninos, inhibidores de tripsina y presencia de lectinas. Los frijoles fueron también sometidos a estudios de calorimetría diferencial de barrido. El valor nutritivo de sus proteínas fue establecido a través de la razón de eficiencia proteínica (PER) y digestibilidad aparente de proteína (DAP). Se encontró que el contenido proteínico del frijol es alto (25%). El frijos blanco tuvo una mayor capacidad de absorción de agua y presentó menor dureza el grano en comparación con las otras variedades (P < 0.05). El frijol negro reveló una menor energía de gelatinización de su almidón y un mayor tiempo de cocción en comparación con el frijol blanco y café. El contenido de taninos de las tres variedades fue bajo, particularmente el frijol blanco. Las actividades de inhibidores de tripsina y capacidad aglutinante de lectinas fueron relativamente altas en el frijol crudo, pero desaparecieron casi totalmente con la cocción. La calidad biológica de las proteínas de tépari demostró ser superior a la del frijol común cosechado bajo las mismas condiciones, siendo esto más evidente en el caso del frijol blanco (PER = 1.48 respecto a 1.23 del frijol pinto). Se concluye que el frijol tépari constituye una buena fuente...
