Resposta à ingestão do tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum Meyer) no tratamento da dislipidemia induzida por dieta em ratos Wistar sedentários e exercitados

Abstract

Lipid disorders are related to the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and therefore is considered an important risk factor that can be treated by drugs or even with changes in eating habits and physical. The result is a tucumã regional physico-chemical features important for the treatment of dyslipidemia, such as substantial concentration of fibers. Thus, the present study aims to conduct in vivo study in rats untrained and trained on the use of tucumã the Amazons in the treatment of diet-induced dyslipidemia. Was performed for both the induction of dyslipidemia followed by treatment with a base ration tucumã with or without swimming. We used 40 male rats weighing about 350 grams. These animals were divided into 4 groups of 10 animals forming the Sedentary Control Group (SCG) the exercised control group (GCE), the Group Treatment Sedentary (GTS) and Treatment Group exercised (GTE). It is the body mass gain, feed intake, plasma concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL, total protein, and the hormones insulin and leptin. The GCE group showed a tendency to higher food consumption and the groups that consumed the flesh of the fruit tucumã showed a trend to a higher body mass gain. The descriptive analysis showed that the groups that consumed the diet increased the fruit tucumã showed a trend to a higher body mass gain. The GCE has a tendency to higher plasma cholesterol, as well as the GTE GTS and have higher absolute values for triglycerides and VLDL-C HDL lipids and LDL-C were shown to be elevated in the group that consumed tucumã. Through research it can be seen that the fruit tucumã (Meyer Astrocatyum aculeatum) hypolipidemic has no effect, since the animals had elevated concentrations of lipid
