<i>Caryocar brasiliense</i> Camb. Fruit Improves Health and Lifespan in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This study quantified bioactive compounds in Caryocar brasiliense fruit pulp and assessed its antioxidant capacity, heat and oxidative stress resistance, and quality of life improvements, including locomotor activity, resistance to β‐amyloid peptide toxicity, and pro‐longevity effects in Caenorhabditis elegans. The results show that C.

Neuroprotective Effect of Caryocar brasiliense Camb. Leaves Is Associated with Anticholinesterase and Antioxidant Properties. [PDF]

Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2018
Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense) is an endemic species from Brazilian Cerrado, and their fruits are widely used in regional cuisine. In this work, a crude hydroalcoholic extract (CHE) of C. brasiliense leaves and its resulting fractions in hexane (HF), chloroform (CF), ethyl acetate (EAF), and butanol (BF) were investigated for their antioxidant properties

Exploring pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) mesocarp flour of Brazilian Cerrado biome to produce gluten-free antioxidant biscuits. [PDF]

J Food Sci
Abstract The peels of pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.), native to the Brazilian Cerrado, represent ∼80% of the mass of the whole fruit. Despite their high quantities of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, they are generally discarded as waste. The impact of substituting rice flour with pequi mesocarp flour (PMF) in different concentrations in ...

Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxant Effect of Butanolic Fraction from Caryocar brasiliense Camb. Leaves in Rat Thoracic Aorta. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2012
Caryocar brasiliense Camb. “pequi” is a native plant from the Cerrado region of Brazil that contains bioactive components reported to be antioxidant agents. Previous work has demonstrated that dietary supplementation with pequi decreased the arterial pressure of volunteer athletes. We found that the crude hydroalcoholic extract (CHE) of C.

Evaluation of the Effects of Some Brazilian Medicinal Plants on the Production of TNF- α and CCL2 by THP-1 Cells. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2015
Several plant species are traditionally used in Brazil to treat various inflammatory diseases. Tumor necrosis factor‐ (TNF‐) α and chemokine (C‐C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) are key inflammatory mediators in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis, respectively; nevertheless, only a few extracts have been assayed against these targets.
