Efeito da banana da Terra verde e do albedo do maracujá sobre o perfil lipídico de ratos

Abstract

Were prepared meal green plantain and albedo of passion for the development of this work. After determining the chemical composition of the meal there was a biological test aimed to evaluate the effects of soluble fiber present in the flour of passion fruit albedo and resistant starch of the flour of green plantain, and the mixture of the meal on the levels lipid levels of hypercholesterolemic rats. For testing we used 40 male Wistar rats were divided into five groups of eight rats each. Four supplemented diets were prepared with high concentration of soluble fiber and resistant starch from the flour of passion fruit peel and green plantain respectively and a standard diet. The experimental groups were divided into Banana - 10% of resistant starch and 5% cellulose, Passion Fruit - 10% soluble fiber and 5% cellulose, Mix - 5% resistant starch, 5% cellulose and 5% soluble fiber , Cellulose - 15% cellulose and Standard. The Banana group had a lower intake of diet if differing from other groups. The fecal weight was higher in groups Passion Fruit, pulp and mix. The results show the potential beneficial effect of soluble fiber intake in the control of hypercholesterolemia and soluble and insoluble fiber on intestinal transit. Resistant starch from the green plantain results were not significant on the serum lipid profile of rats. It follows therefore that the albedo of the flour mixture of flour and passion of passion with the albedo of green plantain modulated so as to reduce the serum lipid profile in rats fed a hypercholesterolemic diet, this was probably due to the presence Soluble fiber in both diets since the isolation of the diet that contained only resistant starch from the flour of green plantain not influence significantly the lipid profile of rats.
