Abstract
We evaluated the Parkia biglobosa pulp (PB) effects on food intake, body composition and oxidative and inflammatory parameters related to gut and brain of rats. A total of 32 male Wistar rats were randomised into four groups: healthy (HG), obese (OG); and healthy (HPB) and obese (OPB) groups with PB (400 mg/kg body weight). The rats consumed a control or cafeteria diet for 16 weeks. Body weight, food intake, bacteria count, organic acids in faeces were quantified. NF-κB and oxidative parameters were evaluated in the colon and hippocampus. PB contains fibres, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, catechin, and myricetin. PB treatment decreased fat mass and energy intake; increased the count of lactic acid bacteria and faecal organic acids, improved lipid peroxidation and reversed colon and hippocampal lesions, with reduction the NF-κB in OPB colon. PB has anti-obesity effect with potential to modulation gut-brain axis, mainly via blocking the activation of NF-κB.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
