The consumption of dietary fiber (AF) has been related to the decrease in the incidence of Colon Cancer. Fruits, such as papaya, are rich in pectins, which represents the water-soluble fraction of the fruit. Papaya has a very rapid maturation process, with softening of the pulp and modification of the fiber structures. In addition, papaya fibers have been linked to a number of beneficial …
BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for human health, exerting their functions in the form of the amino acid selenocysteine, the 21st amino acid. Because of their importance in biological systems, the intake of Se have been monitored in several countries, and millions of people around the world can have mineral deficiency. This possible deficiency that probably affects…
Colorectal cancer is a major health problem worldwide. The intake of dietary fiber has been associated to a decrease of colon cancer, especially the intake of soluble fibers, such as pectins. Papaya fibers have been linked to several anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities in 2D models, including the induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and regulation of expression of toll-like…
BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se) is essential for human health, being inserted in 25 selenoproteins as the amino acid selenocysteine. Its most famous function is its antioxidant role, but Se is also related to improve immune function, reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes mellitus type 2. Brazil nuts are known as the richest food source of Se, considered one of the most nu…
