Neuroprotective Effects of Pulp Oil Microcapsules on Rats Subjected to Chronic Stress.

fruits are rich in monounsaturated fatty acid, carotene, tocopherol, and other antioxidant compounds. The aim of our study was to investigate and compare the protective effects of pulp oil and microencapsulated pulp oil on brain oxidative damage induced by chronic restraint stress (CRS) in rats (cortex, hippocampus, and striatum). Thirty-six Wistar rats were divided into six treatment groups: C, P, and M groups received 1 L/g of body weight of distilled water, pulp oil, and pulp oil microcapsules by daily gavage, respectively.

Buriti pulp oil did not improve high-fat diet-induced metabolic disorders in c57bl/6 mice.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obesity are growing in many parts of the world, becoming public health problems. It is proposed that foods with functional properties can assist in the treatment of these diseases. Crude buriti pulp oil (BPO) is a food traditionally consumed by residents in the Pantanal, Cerrado and Brazilian Amazon.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Induced by High-Fat Diet in C57bl/6 Models.

Researchers have a range of animal models in which to study Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Induction of NAFLD by a high-fat diet in the C57BL/6 strain is the most widely used among mice. In this study, we review works that performed NAFLD induction by a high-fat diet using the C57BL/6 strain, focusing on experiments on the effects of lipid ingestion.
