Abstract

Background: One of consequence high-fat and fructose diet is oxidative stress. Consumption of antioxidants from red beetroot may increase antioxidant defense. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate red beetroot administration on improving antioxidant defense in rats induced high fat and fructose diet. Methods: A total 20 male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: 1) normal control group (N), received standard diet; 2) High fat and fructose diet (HF), received high fat and fructose diet (HFFD); 8 weeks induction with HFFD and received 9g red beetroot (BA); and combination of HFFD and 9g of red beetroot from beginning of the study (HFBA). At the end of the study the levels of circulatory oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and catalase (CAT) gene expressions were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method. Results: Induction HFFD increased the levels of circulatory ox-LDL levels compared to normal control (10.00±0.29 vs 12.69±0.57). Administration of red beetroot for 6 weeks and combination HFFD with red beetroot during the study significantly decreased ox-LDL levels compared to high fat and fructose group (12.69±0.57 vs 9.66±0.46) and (12.69±0.57 vs 8.59±0.18), respectively. The decreased circulatory ox-LDL levels were found negatively correlated with upregulation SOD2 (r=-0.548; P=0.012) and CAT (r=-0.460; P=0.041) gene expression in the liver tissues. Conclusion: Administration of red beetroot may ameliorate oxidative stress in rats induced high-fat and fructose diet through increasing antioxidant defense.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension still became potential life threatening disease for human life. The prevalence of hypertension was high and tends to increase. Previous study suggested that there was a linier rise in blood pressure at increasing distances from the equator. More recent study indicated that vitamin D insuffi ciency may be associated with elevated blood pressure.Objective: To investigate the effect of vitamin D intake on blood pressure.Method: This was an experimental study with pre-post test group design. The subjects were 20 male Rattus norvegicus aged 8 weeks. Subjects were divided into 5 groups and each groups received treatment as follow: lived in dark cage and consumed vitamin D free diet for 1 – 13 days, then moved to normal cage (dark-light period) and given vitamin D per-oral of 0.25 μg/kg BW for 1 – 5 days. Data of systolic blood pressure was collected and analyzed with paired t test.Results: The absence of vitamin D in diet caused a signifi cant increase in systolic blood pressure (p=0.01) after 7 days of treatment in dark cage. While oral vitamin D supplementation of 0.25 μg/kg BW caused a signifi cant decline of systolic blood pressure since the fi rst day of vitamin D supplementation and the result appeared stronger after 4 days of treatment (p=0.001).Conclusion: Vitamin D intake had a strong infl uence on systolic blood pressure

Abstract

Background: Appetite and dietary intake have been associated with obesity and successfulness of weight loss in obese individuals. Glucagon-like peptide 1 is a gut-derived neuropeptide that is produced as a response to dietary intake and associated with appetite. It has been investigated that prebiotic can induce GLP-1 production in animal models and humans. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of lesser yam based cookies on fasting GLP-1 plasma, appetite, and dietary intake. Methods: An experimental study was conducted on 15 overweight/obese individuals using cookies made with lesser yam flour for 6 weeks. Fasting GLP-1 level, dietary intake, and appetite were measured before and after the intervention. Dietary intake was recorded using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and appetite was measured using a visual analog scale. Results: After the intervention, the dietary intake includes total energy (p=0,013), protein (p=0,004) and carbohydrate (p=0,02) were significantly reduced. Based on paired t-test that was done in each time point, after the intervention subjects had lower hunger feeling and higher satiety especially at 4 (p=0,039) and 3 (p=0,039) hours after breakfast, respectively. Fasting GLP-1 plasma level was not changed after the intervention (p>0,05). There is no correlation between GLP-1 and dietary intake as well as appetite. Conclusions: We concluded that lesser yam based cookies were able to reduce dietary intake and hunger as well as increase fullness. The fasting GLP-1 concentration did not change after the intervention this was not associated with changes in satiety, fullness, desire to eat, or energy intake.
