Relação entre a actividade física e inactividade física, envolvimento físico, comportamentos alimentares e percentagem de massa gorda: um estudo comparativo entre duas amostras da R.A.M. e da R.A.A.

Os padrões baixos de Actividade Física (AF), com aumento de tempo em actividades sedentárias (ActSed), num envolvimento natural (EnvN) desafiador e um elevado consumo de alimentos processados (AliPro) e de bebidas açucaradas (BeAçu), são factores responsáveis pelo aumento da obesidade nos jovens. Este trabalho tem por objectivo caracterizar os alunos do 7º ano de escolaridade, de duas escolas: Região Autónoma da Madeira (R.A.M.) e outra nos Açores (R.A.A.), bem como estudar as relações entre as variáveis AFg, ActSed, EnvN, o consumo dos AliPro e de BeAçu, e os indicadores de adiposidade. O total da amostra consistiu em 337 alunos (164 rapazes e 173 raparigas), sendo 123 da escola da R.A.A. e 214 da escola da R.A.M., ambas de um meio medianamente urbano. Os participantes preencheram questionários acerca da AF (Crocker, Bailey, Faulkner, Kowalski & McGrath, 1997), percepção de envolvimento físico (Evenson et al., 2006), ActSed e consumo alimentar (Wilson, Magarey & Mastersson, 2008). Foi efectuada a avaliação ao nível do peso, altura e pregas de adiposidade tricipital e geminal (Cooper, 2007). A %MG foi calculada segundo a fórmula de Slaughter et al.(1988) e os participantes classificados segundo as categorias de Lohman (1987). Os alunos reportaram resultados baixos nos níveis de AF, e em média um dispêndio de 3 horas por dia em ActSed. Cada participante afirma consumir aproximadamente 3 AliPro e 1 BeAçu por dia. No parâmetro da %MG, os resultados de ambas as escolas foram considerados alarmantes. Foram encontradas diferenças não significativas, entre as duas escolas, nos parâmetros de AF, ActSed, consumo de AliPro e BeAçu, EnvN e %MG (p> 0,05). Correlações moderadas entre as ActSed e o consumo de BeAçu; e fracas entre o EnvN, BeAçu e AliPro, e AliPro com o IMC e %MG. Em suma, ocorrem necessidades de hábitos de AF para a prevenção da obesidade.

Relação entre aptidão física, participação desportiva e comportamentos sedentários e alimentares: um estudo em alunos dos 2º e 3º Ciclos, e Ensino Secundário do Concelho de Santana

O presente trabalho teve como objectivo caracterizar a população escolar do 5.º ao 12º anos de escolaridade do concelho de Santana, relativamente aos níveis de adiposidade, de aptidão e actividade física, actividades sedentárias e hábitos alimentares. A amostra foi constituída por 505 jovens de ambos os géneros, com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 22 anos, distribuídos por quatro grupos etários. A composição corporal foi caracterizada através de: 1) do IMC, com base nos valores de referência de Cole et al. (2000), para determinar excesso de peso e obesidade, e de Cole et al. (2007), para a subnutrição; 2) cálculo da %MG através das pregas subcutâneas segundo as fórmulas de Slaughter et al. (1988), e classificada segundo Lohman (1987). A aptidão física foi avaliada segundo as orientações da bateria de testes Fitnessgram (Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research, 2002). As actividades sedentárias e os hábitos alimentares foram avaliados através de questionários (Sallis et al., 1999 e Wilson et al., 2008 respectivamente), e o grupo de participação desportiva, determinado a partir de questões relativas à prática de actividades desportivas organizadas. Os resultados demonstram uma taxa de prevalência de excesso de peso e obesidade de 26,7%, sendo superior a taxa de prevalência nos participantes do sexo masculino e de idade mais baixa. Ao nível da actividade física organizada extracurricular, verificou-se que 41,5% indicaram praticar outra actividade (DE ou DF), para além das aulas de EF. Relativamente a aptidão física, constatamos que metade da população avaliada, foi classificada abaixo da Zona Saudável de Aptidão Física (ZSAptF), em pelo menos 3, dos 6 testes motores avaliados. A aptidão aeróbia revelou-se como uma das componentes da aptidão com maior taxa de insucesso (54,8%). Ainda na aptidão, verificamos que os participantes classificados abaixo ZSAptF na componente aptidão aeróbia diferiam dos classificados dentro da ZSAptF, nos parâmetros: a) obesidade; b) restantes testes motores da aptidão física avaliados; c) actividades sedentárias (navegar da net; jogo de vídeo portáteis); d) participação desportiva; e) frequência de consumo de bebidas açucaradas, sendo que em média, os alunos classificados abaixo da ZSAptF, apresentam valores superiores de obesidade, piores prestações nos testes motores, menor probabilidade de participarem em actividades organizadas extracurriculares e menor consumo de bebidas açucaradas.

Efeito do consumo de farinha de linhaça (Linum usitatissimum) no crescimento de ratos Wistar e relação com a digestibilidade de globulinas e fatores antinutricionais protéicos

Linseed is an important oilseed consumed raw as nutritional supplement, that although represents a rich source of nutrients, its nutritional value could be impaired due to the presence of antinutritional factors. In this study, protein fractions from raw linseed flour were extracted and isolated being obtained 12% of albumins, 82% of globulins, 5% of glutelins and 1% of prolamins. These proteins were visualized by SDS-PAGE and albumins showed low molecular mass protein bands around 21 kDa and minor bands, similar to that of trypsin inhibitor; Globulins presented protein bands with high molecular masses, which possibly are constituents of multimeric proteins, such as legumins. After determination of the centesimal composition of raw linseed, it was used as exclusive protein source for young rats to evaluate its effect on animal growth. The results showed negative effects on rat growth (weight gain 73% less than the control group) and reduction of intestinal villus (35%), that could be related with in vitro and in vivo globulin digestibility and proteinaceous antinutritional factors (mammalian digestive enzymes inhibitors and lectins) in albumin fraction. Native globulins showed, by SDS-PAGE, low susceptibility in vitro to trypsin and chymotrypsin, however presented high degradation by pancreatin. Thermal treatment of globulins for 5 and 15 minutes at 100ºC improved considerably its digestibility by trypsin and pancreatin. Globulins presented 93.2% in vivo digestibility, similar to the control protein. Albumin fraction had high trypsin inhibition activity (100%) and chymotrypsin inhibition of 28.3%; haemagglutinating activity was not detected. The results of this study indicate the negative action of trypsin inhibitors on animal growth, but can not be discarded its combined action with other antinutritional factors, which could compromise the raw linseed utilization as an alternative food

Estudo de ß-glucanas extraídas dos fungos Geastrum saccatum e Polyporos dermoporus: características químicas e atividades biológicas

Fungal polysaccharides have received a great deal of attention due to itsbecause of their potential use in a wide rangegreat variety fromof industries. Some studies have demonstrated that polysaccharides extracted offrom basidiomycetes they have presented significant properties as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-tumoral properties. In spite of thisDespite these potential properties, these mushrooms have not been insufficiently investigated, and the great number of antibiotics number produced forby these organisms suggests that they canmay be a new source of bioactives composites source. In tThe present work, reports onlated the chemical composition, potential antioxidant, antiinflammatory and citotoxycity of extracted polymers extracted offrom the fruits bodies of the fungiius Geastrum saccatum and Polyporus dermoporus, native mushrooms of the Atlantic forest inof the state of the Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The Cchemical analyses had revealed ademonstrated text of total sugar rates of 65% and 49%, and proteins of 7.0% for in extracts of G. saccatum and P. dermoporus extracts, respectively. The analyses ofNMR spectroscopy of RMN had demonstrated that these extracts are composites forof a complex involving β- glucans and- proteins complex. The inhibition of the formation of superoxide radicals formation was of 88.4% in G. saccatum and 83.3% in P. dermoporus, and 75 and 100% for inhibition of hydroxyls radicals inhibition. TopicalThe topic application of extracts the 10, 30 and 50 mg/kg extract in BALBc mice with cutaneous inflammation induced byfor croton oil demonstrated to inhibitedion of ear edema of ear and cells polimorfonuclears cells atin the inflamed siteplace, being this reply more effective in lower concentrations being more effective. The evaluation of the glucans of G. saccatum and P. dermoporus glucans under induced pleurisy for carrageenan-induced pleurisya of showed the antiinflammatory action of these composites., being analyzed tThe frame number in the pleural exudates and thedosage of nitric oxide dosage was also analyzed. The cytotoxic action of these polymers was analyzed throughthrough the mitochondrial function (MTT). The incubation of the glucans with mononuclear cells of the peripheral blood demonstrated that the extracted glucans extracted fromof G. saccatum havepossess a moderate cytotoxic action. These results suggest that these mushrooms possess polymers formed byfor a complex glucana-protein complex, with antiinflammatory and antioxidant actions

Desenvolvimento e caracterização de compósitos poli(tereftalato de etileno) reciclado (PET reciclado) com flocos de vidro.

The growing concern with the solid residues management, observed in the last decade, due to its huge amount and impact, has motivated the search for recycling processes, where these residues can be reprocessed to generate new products, enlarging the cycle of materials and energy which are present. Among the polymeric residues, there is poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET). PET is used in food packaging, preferably in the bottling of carbonated beverages. The reintegration of post-consumer PET in half can be considered a productive action mitigation of environmental impacts caused by these wastes and it is done through the preparation of several different products at the origin, i.e. food packaging, with recycling rates increasing to each year. This work focused on the development and characterization mechanical, thermal, thermo-mechanical, dynamic mechanical thermal and morphology of the pure recycled PET and recycled PET composites with glass flakes in the weight fraction of 5%, 10% and 20% processed in a single screw extruder, using the following analytical techniques: thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile, Izod impact, Rockwell hardness, Vicat softening temperature, melt flow rate, burn rate, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of thermal analysis and mechanical properties leading to a positive evaluation, because in the thermograms the addition of glass flakes showed increasing behavior in the initial temperatures of thermal decomposition and melting crystalline, Furthermore was observed growing behavior in the mechanical performance of polymer composites, whose morphological structure was observed by SEM, verifying a good distribution of glass flakes, showing difference orientation in the center and in the surface layer of test body of composites with 10 and 20% of glass flakes. The results of DMTA Tg values of the composites obtained from the peak of tan ä showed little reductions due to poor interfacial adhesion between PET and recycled glass flakes.

Extração, caracterização e atividades biológicas de proteínas da espécie cnidoscolus urens (L.) Arthur

The extraction, chemical and structural characterization of a wide variety of compounds derived from plants has been a major source of bioactive molecules. Several proteases have been isolated in the plant kingdom, with numerous pharmacological and biotechnological applications. Among the proteases isolated from plants, are the fibrinogenolytic, with relevant application in the treatment of disorders in the coagulation cascade, in addition to potential use as a tool in clinical laboratories. In this study, in addition to evaluating the effects of the protein extract of Cnidoscolus urens (L.) Arthur (Euphorbiaceae) in the coagulation cascade also investigates the presence of antimicrobial activity and characterizes the proteolytic activity detected in this extract, aiming to determine their potential pharmacological and biotechnological application. In this way, crude protein extracts obtained from the leaves of C. urens in Tris-HCl 0.05M, NaCl 0.15M, pH 7.5, were precipitated in different concentrations of acetone, and assessed for the presence of proteolytic activity in azocaseína and fibrinogen. The most active fraction (F1.0) in these tests was chosen for assessment of biological activity and biochemical characterization. The Aα chain and Bβ of fibrinogen were completely cleaved at a concentration of 0.18 μg/μL of protein fraction in 4 minutes. Fibrinogenolytic activity presented total inhibition in the presence of E-64 and partial in the presence of EDTA. The fraction demonstrated coagulant activity in plasm and reduced the APTT, demonstrating acting on the factors coagulation of the intrinsic pathway and common, not exerting effects on the PT. Fibrinolytic activity on plasma clot was detected only in SDS-PAGE in high concentrations of fraction, and there were no defibrinating. Although several proteases isolated from plants and venomous animals are classically toxic, the fraction F1.0 of C. urens not expressed hemorrhagic nor hemolytic activities. Fraction F1.0 also showed no antimicrobial activity. In proteolytic activity on the azocasein, the optimal pH was 5.0 and optimum temperature of 60ºC. The enzyme activity has been shown to be sensitive to the presence of salts tested, with inhibition for all compounds. The surfactant triton did not influence the enzyme activity, but the tween-20 and SDS inhibited the activity. In the presence of reducing agents increase in enzyme activity occurred, a typical feature of enzymes belonging to the class of cysteine proteases. Several bands with proteolytic activity were detected in zymogram, in the region of high-molecular-weight, which were inhibited by E-64. In this study, we found that C. urens presents in its constitution cysteine proteases with fibrinogenolytic and procoagulant activity, which may be isolated, with potential application in treatment of bleeding disorders, thrombolytic and clinical laboratory

O Cariri cearense: da ocupação do território à institucionalização da região metropolitana do Cariri

Urbanization in their mearing simpler, the agglomeration of people, occurred from the time that the productive activities have to be based on trade. The first cities arose when the evolution of agriculture allowed the production and storage of surpluses. However, with industrialization was that urbanization becomes intense, according to Singer (1987), the industrial revolution was to stage, from the beginning, the urban area. It requires, in its proximity, the presence of a large number of workers. With respect to the Cariri cearense, the occupation of its territory is associated with the movement of agricultural surpluses produced and reproduced under the hegemony of merchant capital and due to the development of extensive cattle that promoted the territorial occupation of Ceará. From the 1960s, the region has undergone changes in its productive structure due to industrial planning policies of the government of Ceará. However it was in the 1990s that the region itself as economic and urban polo because policies to attract investments from the state government of Ceará. This policy led to boosting trade and services marking the predominance of tertiary activities in the region, especially the retail, wholesale , medical services and education. Investments also consolidated the industrial park area making it diverse, especially the footwear industries, mining, non-metallic minerals, transport equipment, pharmaceutical chemical, food and beverages, rubber and leather and construction. Thus, the aim of this study was to review the region of Cariri cearense occupation of its territory institutionalizing its metropolitan region, to understand what factors influenced the Cariri cearense become an important area in urban and economic terms in the interior of Ceará. In order to develop this research in that refers to the methodological perspective, research is guided by bibliographic studies and also makes use of secondary data analysis (population, GDP, urbanization rate, employment) of the main databases the country, as IBGE, IPEADATA and RAIS - MTE

Live and formulated diet evaluation through initial growth and survival of jundiá larvae, Rhamdia quelen

A larvicultura da maioria das espécies de peixes enfrenta o desafio da dependência do alimento vivo (AL) e da falta de dietas formuladas (DF) que atendam plenamente às necessidades das larvas. A baixa digestibilidade e a qualidade nutricional das DFs são alguns dos fatores que explicam o insucesso quando as larvas recebem apenas FD. Para avaliar o efeito da combinação da DF com o AL no crescimento e na sobrevivência de larvas de jundiá (Rhamdia quelen), comparando com o uso separado da DF ou do AL, larvas recém eclodidas (5,57 mm; 1,41 mg) foram estocadas inicialmente em 12 aquários de 10 L (100 larvas por aquário). Quatro réplicas foram alimentadas ad libitum com uma das três dietas por 20 (para DF) ou 48 dias (para AL ou a combinação DF + AL). As larvas alimentadas com apenas DF apresentaram crescimento e sobrevivência reduzidos quando comparadas àquelas alimentadas com AL ou a combinação DF + AL. Adicionalmente, as larvas do tratamento DF + AL apresentaram maior crescimento em peso (170 mg) que aquelas alimentadas apenas com AL (110 mg). O melhor desempenho das larvas alimentadas com DF + AL mostra que a maioria dos nutrientes exigidos pelas larvas é fornecida mais adequadamente quando ambas as dietas são fornecidas juntamente. Contudo, trabalhos sobre nutrição larval poderão contribuir ainda mais sobre a elucidação deste tema quando feitas comparações com o uso combinado de DF + AL, do que apenas testando isoladamente novos ingredientes e fontes protéicas normalmente utilizadas na elaboração de dietas para juvenis e adultos.

Avaliação das equações de predição das exigências de proteína para matrizes pesadas na fase de crescimento

Objetivou-se avaliar as equações para predição das exigências protéicas de matrizes pesadas em crescimento, desenvolvidas em estudos anteriores na Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias da UNESP, Jaboticabal, tendo como padrão de comparação as recomendações estabelecidas pelo manual de criação da linhagem. Foram utilizadas 288 matrizes pesadas da linhagem Hubbard Hy-Yield, com cinco semanas de idade, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com dois tratamentos e seis repetições, sendo 24 aves por unidade experimental até 14 semanas e, de 15 a 20 semanas de idade, 20 aves por unidade experimental. Um tratamento foi representado pelas recomendações protéicas para a linhagem (testemunha) e o outro pelas seguintes equações de predição das exigências de proteína: de 5 a 8 semanas PB (g/ave/dia) = 2,02.P0,75+ 0,350.G, 9 a 14 semanas - PB = 2,02.P0,75 + 0,406.G e de 15 a 20 semanas PB = 2,02.P0,75 + 0,463.G, em que P é o peso corporal (kg) e G, o ganho de peso diário (g). Os resultados indicaram que as equações de predição para proteína, apesar de não comprometerem o peso ou a uniformidade corporal em relação ao tratamento testemunha, determinaram menor porcentagem de peito e maior de gordura abdominal e maior teor de gordura na carcaça, sendo atribuído à menor ingestão de proteína proporcionada pelas equações de predição e, conseqüentemente, deficiência em relação a alguns aminoácidos que não foram suplementados.

Turismo de eventos como estratégia no combate à sazonalidade: uma análise na hotelaria de Natal - RN

The aim of this work is to analyse the tourism events and the performance of this segment from market as strategy in the combat of Natal's hotel seasonality, in the executives/managers's vision from this sector. Two searches were realized to turn available this study: Inicialy a bibliographic search involving the concepts associated with the tematic in question so that it arranges the embasament theoric-scientific and a survey from facts through the country search, where it was applicable in the establishments of work's population with the auxiliary from a formulary answered by a personal interview. The analyses techniques through facts were: estatistic descritive and Kolmogorov-smirnov test.Among the results found, it was verified that the main reasons alleged by the hotels to ingress in the segment from the events were the alinement from the competitive company, the diversification in the options in the sense of occupy the establishments during the period of low season and answer to the demand of market. Investigated the profile from the events occured in the Natal hotels referring to the port, public origin , kinds of events and frequency from their realizations, as well as , the capacity from these establishments to attend this segment.It was noticed that in spite of the hotels agree that the events are important estrategies to combat the seasonality, the establishments still suffer with the flutuation, what can be justified from the moment that it's considered that the events also behave from seasonal manner, having more concentration in certain periods from the year. It was evaluated that the main advantage noticed by the realization from the hotels's events is the utilization from alimentation and drinking services, surpassing the advantage from elevation of taxes occupation from the apartments

Avaliação de níveis e fontes de proteína na alimentação de leitões na fase inicial de crescimento

Um experimento foi conduzido para comparar diversos níveis e fontes protéicas utilizados em rações sobre o desempenho, a morfometria intestinal e a relação peso de pâncreas/peso de carcaça de leitões de 36 a 70 dias de idade. Foram utilizados 96 leitões desmamados distribuídos em delineamento de blocos ao acaso com seis tratamentos e quatro repetições de quatro animais. Avaliaram-se seis fontes protéicas (tratamentos): leite em pó desnatado (8,80 e 12,00%); isolado protéico de soja (3,20 e 4,50%); farinha de peixe (5,00%); e levedura seca (10,00%). As dietas, isoenergéticas e isoprotéicas, não afetaram o ganho de peso e a conversão alimentar dos animais, contudo, os animais que receberam a dieta contendo leite em pó desnatado apresentaram maior consumo no período de 56 a 63 dias de idade. Não houve efeito significativo das fontes protéicas sobre a altura de vilos, a profundidade de cripta e a relação peso do pâncreas/peso corporal. As fontes protéicas estudadas e os níveis utilizados nas dietas não influenciaram o desempenho, a morfologia intestinal e a relação peso de pâncreas/peso de carcaça em leitões de 36 a 70 dias de idade
