FIXED OIL FROM PEQUI FRUIT (Caryocar coriaceum) PREVENTS LUNG CHANGES CAUSED BY VEHICLE POLLUTANTS

Environmental Smoke
The exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) in high-traffic environments is associated with significant alterations in the respiratory system. In parallel, it is assumed that the regular inclusion of compounds containing high levels of polyunsaturated

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 ...

Effects of Herbs and Derived Natural Products on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Toxicity: A Literature Review. [PDF]

Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2023
Introduction. Oxidative stress (OS) during inflammation can increase inflammatory responses and damage tissue. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can induce oxidative stress and inflammation in several organs. Natural products have several biological activities including anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunoregulatory properties.
