EFEITO DO BAGAÇO DE MAÇÃ SOBRE A GLICEMIA, LIPIDEMIA , PEROXIDAÇÃO DE LIPIDEOS E PESO CORPORAL EM RATOS OBESOS

Abstract

Brazilian apple prodution and processing have been increasing inthe last few years and a novel agroindustrial residue arose plain with bioactive compounds like polyphenols, sugars and dietary fibers. Special pomace utilization able to provide economical advantages to the industrial sector. increasing profit values in de food and pharmaceutical products and environment protection seems to be an interesting aproach. This work has been done aiming to evaluate the interaction of the dry apple pomace with the glycemic and lipidemic level, lipid peroxidation rate and the weight of the obese experimental animals Wistar ( Rattus norvegicus). Sixty four animals have been used, in 8 sets in experimentals design comprehending two essays: the firts was the promotion of obesity (120days) and the second treatment (30 days), with dietary meal containing three levels of complementation in the diets wits dry apple pomace (5%, 15% e 25%) . In the first experimental period the supplementation in the diets with dry apple pomace promoted the decreasing of body weight gain, with a tendency to decrease the fatty mass in a non dose dependent. The supplementation of dry apple pomace with 15% and 25%, to the feeding of the experimental animal promoted less food and energetic consumption than with 5%. In what concerns to the biochemical features the dry apple pomace did not interfered in glycemic level showing a tendency to reduce the lipidemic level triacyglycerol and cholesterol) more effectively with 15% and did not effected the lipidic peroxidative rate evaluated by the effectively with 15% and did not effected the lipidic peroxidative rate evaluated by the content of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances reactive in the blood of the experimental animals.
