INTRODUCCIÓN: El consumo de edulcorantes no nutritivos (ENN) ha ido en aumento. A pesar de ello, se desconoce el efecto entre el consumo habitual de ENN y las preferencias alimentarias con parámetros bioquímicos en pacientes con resistencia a la insulina. OBJETIVO: Comparar la respuesta glicémica y d...
Abstract Objective: To study the adherence of Streptococcus mutans biofilm after induction with sucrose and xylitol. Material and Methods: Laboratory experimental study incorporating posttest-only control group design. S. mutans biofilm was generated for 24 hours at a temperature of 37°C using BHIB wi...
The consumption of soybean isoflavones (IS) is associated with several beneficial properties on human health. Some lactic acid bacteria possess ß-glucosidase enzyme, that allows to obtain the active form of IS (aglycone). The solid state fermentation (SSF) has received great attention in the last years ...
ABSTRACT The preservation of banana genetic material is usually performed through seedlings. However, most banana cultivars do not produce seed and are propagated vegetatively. Therefore, cryopreservation is a feasible technique that allows the preservation of banana genotypes indefinitely. For the succe...
The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the root dentin demineralization caused by a microcosm biofilm model that has been exposed to sucrose in different ways. Materials and Methods: Saliva of two volunteers was inoculated into an artificial medium for biofilm growth and dentin blocks were immersed...
BACKGROUND: Salinity is a serious factor limiting the productivity of agricultural plants. One of the potential problems for plants growing under saline conditions is the inability to up take enough K+. The addition of K+ may considerably improve the salt tolerance of plants grown under salinity. It is a...
Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a remineralizaçäo de lesöes iniciais de cárie in situ em esmalte bovino. Produziram-se as lesöes artificialmente com o uso de soluçäo desmineralizante, fixando-as na regiäo correspondente à superfície lingual de primeiros molares inferiores, através de aparelhos...
Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar em molares de ratos, o grau de cariogenicidade de diversos açúcares encontrados no mercado e consumidos pela populaçäo: sacarose, na forma de açúcar refinado, mascavo e cristal; glicose e frutose. Para tanto, utilizou-se 70 ratos de ambos os sexos (Rattus nov...
