This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the methanol extracts of mushrooms Lentinus edodes and Agaricus blazei on the retention of tocopherols in soybean oil, when subjected to an accelerated storage test. The following treatments were subjected to an accelerated storage test in an oven at 60 A degrees C for 15 days: Control (soybean oil without antioxidants), TBHQ (soybean oil + 100 mg/kg of TBHQ), BHT (soybean oil + 100 mg/kg of BHT), L. edodes (soybean oil + 3,500 mg/kg of L. edodes extract) and A. blazei (soybean oil + 3,500 mg/kg of A. blazei extract). The samples were analyzed for tocopherols naturally present in soybean oil and mass gain. The results showed, the time required to reach a 0.5% increase in mass was 13 days for TBHQ and 15 days for A. blazei. The content of tocopherols for TBHQ was 457.50 mg/kg and the A. blazei, 477.20 mg/kg.

Curcumin possesses wide-ranging anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and its biological activity can be linked to its potent antioxidant capacity. Superparamagnetic maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3), called surface-active maghemite nanoparticles (SAMNs) were surface-modified with curcumin molecules, due to the presence of under-coordinated Fe-III atoms on the nanoparticle surface. The so-obtained curcumin-modified SAMNs (SAMN@curcumin) had a mean size of 13 +/- 4 nm. SAMN@curcumin was characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, UV/Vis, FTIR, and Mossbauer spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, bulk susceptibility (SQUID), and relaxometry measurements (MRI imaging). The high negative contrast proclivity of SAMN@curcumin to act as potential contrast agent in MRI screenings was also tested. Moreover, the redox properties of bound curcumin were probed by electrochemistry. SAMN@curcumin was studied in the presence of different electroactive molecules, namely hydroquinone, NADH and ferrocyanide, to assess its redox behavior. Finally, SAMN@curcumin was electrochemically probed in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, demonstrating the stability and reactivity of bound curcumin.

The canine species has been used as an experimental model for preservation of endangered species. Biotechnologies of reproduction, such as in vitro maturation (IVM), have been used to meet this objective. Several protocols for in vitro embryo production (IVEP) in swine and bovine species have been adapted for canids. However, the highest rate reported for in vitro maturation in canids is only 39%, which is still lower than those in other species. Therefore, current research on assisted reproduction in canids have focused on several IVM protocols, including the addition of proteins, hormones, meiosis inhibitors, growth factors and antioxidants to the maturation media and the determination of suitable timing for culture, so that variables involved in the process can be fine-tuned. This review has the main objective of describing major developments and limitations in the process of oocyte maturation in bitches.

It is understood by Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) or Stage IV Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) the morbid state in which there is a substantial and irreversible loss of functional capacity, metabolic and endocrine function in both kidneys, leading to a framework of dehydration, azotemia, electrolyte imbalance, anemia, uremic syndrome, secondary hyperparathyroidism, among other conditions that make the patient's life without treatment unfeasible. An adequate nutritional support to patients with CKD at any stage aims to maintain a good clinical condition and an attempt to delay the progression of the disease. The basis of a diet for patients with CKD is the restriction in this protein being of high biological value, low-phosphorus, high energy density, fiber and antioxidants combined with a good dietary practices that allow the patient a good quality of life

O uso disseminado do suco de folhas jovens de trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) para diversos fins terapêuticos foi proposto por Dra. Ann Wigmore há mais de 40 anos nos Estados Unidos e popularizado de tal forma que é utilizado para o tratamento alternativo de doenças autoimunes e gastrointestinais, dentre outras. Baseado nessas informações populares, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a composição química e a atividade anti-inflamatória intestinal do extrato aquoso de folhas jovens de trigo na fase aguda do modelo experimental de doença inflamatória intestinal induzida por TNBS (ácido trinitrobenzenosulfônico) em ratos. Os animais foram tratados durante cinco dias antes da indução do processo inflamatório, sendo testadas as doses de 100, 50, 25 e 5 mg/Kg e azatioprina como droga de referência. Após 48 horas da indução do processo inflamatório, os animais foram mortos e seus cólons extraídos para a realização dos estudos macroscópicos e bioquímicos. Paralelamente foi realizado um estudo para a caracterização da composição química do extrato, através de testes para a determinação das principais classes de substâncias presentes, bem como o doseamento de compostos fenólicos e atividade sequestradora de radicais livres. O estudo demonstrou que o extrato aquoso de folhas jovens de trigo a 5 mg/Kg apresentou uma tendência em melhorar os parâmetros macroscópicos e bioquímicos avaliados, porém sem diferenças estatísticas. A caracterização fitoquímica do extrato mostrou que o suco de trigo é uma fonte importante de compostos antioxidantes, os quais podem estar relacionados com a melhora no processo inflamatório colônico
