• Abstract

  Introduction: The diet plays an important role in cardiovascular disease and some foods, such as amaranth and cowpea, have proven ability to reduce serum cholesterol. This effect is related to peptides formed during digestion of their protein. Bioavailability and the fate of these peptides after digestion are clearly complex, and their target tissues are unknown. Objectives: To assess the…

  Bioavailability of peptides from amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L. BRS Alegria) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and their modulation of cholesterol biosynthesis and absorption, AP.R

• Abstract

  The proteins present in legumes, and other grains have been receiving great attention by presenting relevant and functional properties, mainly related to cholesterol metabolism. However, bioavailability, and particularly, its mechanisms of intestinal absorption are not well understood. The present work aims to evaluate the bioavailability of proteins from white lupin (Lupinus albus), cowp…

  Bioavailability of peptides from proteins of lupine, cowpea and amaranth, by permeability through Caco-2 cells and alterations in gene expression of the transporters associated with intestinal cholesterol absorption, AP.R

• Abstract

  Brazil ranks third in production of fresh fruits in the World, but the country has a large number of species still poorly explored and only in their natural environments, in danger of extinction. Among the current possibilities of using these fruit trees include: their planting in protected areas and in reforestation areas, parks and gardens, and in hilly areas, the enrichment of the flor…

• Abstract

  Very recently, proteins and protein sources, gained prominence within the study of bioactive foods because they are described as suppliers of bioactive peptides involved in several metabolic processes after this digestion by natural or synthetic enzymes. The cowpea bean (Vigna unguiculata l. Walp) is one of the main subsistence crops and a brazilian exportation product. Recent surveys hav…

  Modulating of cholesterol biosynthesis and absorption by peptides from cowpea bean (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), BP.DR

• Abstract

  Cardiovascular diseases account for the largest percentage of deaths in Brazil. There is a wide range of evidence pointing physiological factors such as obesity and dyslipidemia as major contributors to cardiovascular diseases and also indicate that consumption of vegetables, especially of their proteins, acts in the magnitude of these protective conditions. Among these proteins is the gr…

  The action of bioactive peptides from amaranth grain (Amaranthus cruentus L. BRS Alegria) subjected to various thermal processes in the micellar solubilization of cholesterol, BP.MS

• Abstract

  Introduction: Because of the "Nutritional Transition", traditional food in the diet pattern of Brazil, such as common bean, has suffered a significant reduction in its consumption. Beans are a remarkable food with important functional and nutritional characteristics, among them cholesterol-lowering properties. Cardiovascular diseases are among the highest contributors to the known causes …
