Obesity is the result of a higher caloric energy expenditure increasing the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Citrus aurantium, has been used for weight reduction by having p-Synephrine, a compound associated with this action. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of commercial extract of Citrus aurantium in weight alteration in the biochemical parameters of rats induced to obesity by High fat / cafeteria diet. The animals were divided into four experimental groups: Group 1: Standard commercial feed; Group 2: standard commercial feed, and solution of commercial extract of Citrus aurantium, via gavage; Group 3: high fat/cafeteria feed. Group 4: high fat/cafeteria feed commercial extract of Citrus aurantium, via gavage. In order to maintain the same experimental conditions in all groups, the animals in groups 1 and 3, received filtered water via gavage. Tests were performed to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of commercial extract of Citrus aurantium: total phenolic compounds, DPPH and FRAP.E in the plasma of animals: FRAP in addition to analyzes of blood biochemical parameters. Results obtained with the commercial extract showed positive results, however, the antioxidant activity in plasma, was not able to alleviate oxidative stress. Significant differences were found in the values of Aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, VLDL cholesterol, HDL and triglycerides, however there was no reduction of weight. The commercial extract of Citrus aurantium, is important in the prevention of hepatic damage and diseases linked to elevations in the levels of VLDL and triglyceride levels, especially when this increase is associated with obesity.

“…2 Em busca de novos conhecimentos, cresce o número pesquisas com crianças e adolescentes para investigar a prevalência de dislipidemia, a qual tem se tornado uma epidemia nas últimas três décadas. [3][4][5][6] A alimentação adequada, com redução do consumo de refrigerantes e doces, bem como a estimulação da prática de atividade física, diminuindo o sedentarismo, faz com que nossas crianças tenham um desenvolvimento saudável, podendo evitar patologias. 7 Existe uma relação com a obesidade infanto-juvenil e as doenças cardiovasculares futuras.…”

RESUMOA dislipidemia, importante fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares, está cada vez mais presente na infância e adolescência. Identificar os fatores associados é fundamental para elaboração de estratégias de saúde pública. Objetivo: verificar possível associação entre dislipidemia com variáveis sociodemográficas, atividades sedentárias e hábitos alimentares em escolares de um município do Sul do Brasil. Método: foram avaliados 1.243 crianças e adolescentes, sendo 563 do sexo masculino, da rede pública e privada, da zona urbana e rural do município de Santa Cruz do Sul, RS. Para avaliação de dislipidemia, considerou-se a presença de alteração em pelo menos um parâmetro do perfil lipídico (triglicerídeos, colesterol total e frações HDL e LDL). As variáveis sociodemográficas, as atividades sedentárias e os hábitos alimentares foram avaliados por questionário. O teste de corrida/caminhada de 9 minutos foi utilizado para avaliar a aptidão cardiorrespiratória. Resultados: a dislipidemia associa-se somente com variáveis sociodemográficas. Assim, a prevalência de dislipidemia é 9% maior na região centro (p=0,030) e em escolas da rede municipal (RP: 1,18; p=0,002) e estadual (RP: 1,11; p=0,023). Não foi observada relação com hábitos sedentários e ao pouco consumo de frutas/ verduras. Considerações finais: a identificação das variáveis associadas com a dislipidemia pode auxiliar na elaboração de estratégias de saúde pública.Palavras-chave: Dislipidemias; Fatores de Risco; Estilo de Vida; Criança; Adolescente.

“…The determinant factors of this imbalance may have a genetic, metabolic, environmental and behavioral origin. The great majority of cases of obesity is caused by exogenous factors (socioenvironmental) -around 95% -while the endogenous factors (neuroendocrine effects or genetic) have participation in a minority of patients -about 5%, which demonstrates the importance of lifestyle in the genesis of obesity 8,9 . For being a disease whose installation takes place so increasingly earlier, combating obesity requires interventions mainly directed to children and adolescents.…”

Abstract:Introduction: Brazil is going through a nutritional transition, which is observed decrease in malnutrition and increased excess weight. Objetive: To evaluate the nutritional status and lifestyle of school children and adolescents from 4 to 17 years old resident in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. Methods: This is a longitudinal study performed in two stages. The first stage took place during the School Health Program and anthropometric data were collected from 975 schoolchildren. In the second stage, it was used a questionnaire to assess lifestyle and diet. Participants were classified into "not overweight" and "overweight". The significant level for the statistical tests was set at 5%.Results: In the first stage, less than 2% of students had low height for age. The prevalence of overweight and malnutrition was 22.15% and 5.23%, respectively. Of the 134 participants of the second stage, 47.76% were not overweight and 52.24% overweight. Regarding the lifestyle, the not overweight group had a higher percentage of insufficiently active members (p = 0.017) and a lower intake of vegetables and salads (p=0.015). Conclusion:The results revealed low short stature in the population studied and overweight was more prevalent than malnutrition. Children and adolescents had sedentary habits that associated with inappropriate dietary practices favor the occurrence of overweight.
