Abstract

Rapid changes in diets and lifestyles due to economic development and market globalization have accelerated over the past decade. This resulted in a significant impact on the health and nutritional status of populations. Obesity, a chronic non-communicable disease, is currently a worldwide pandemic and it is increasing significantly, causing disability and premature death in both developing and newly developed countries. This study aims to investigate the action of jabuticaba peel (rich in anthocyanins), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and phytosterols on the molecular and physiological mechanisms, prevention and treatment of obesity in vivo. Four biological assays will be conducted; two of them using the freeze-dried peel jabuticaba and two experiments using lipid sources (CLA and phytosterols) as supplements. Two experiments will assess the effects of the freeze-dried peel jabuticaba, CLA and / or phytosterols in weight gain, lipids and hormones profile, insulin resistance and modulation of gene expression in mice fed high-fat diet, and two other experiments will evaluate weight gain, hormonal and lipid profile, insulin resistance and lipid peroxidation in rats, fed diets high in fat. The results will be submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and treatment means will be compared by Tukey test (alpha = 0.05). The project will run between the second half of 2010 and the first half of 2013. (AU)
