Abstract Objectives To investigate the prebiotic effect of yacon, source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), on the integrity of the intestinal barrier, inflammatory response and oxidative stress in rats with induced colon cancer. Methods 44 adult Wistar rats were distributed into 4 groups: S (without colon cancer and yacon; n = 10); C (with colon cancer without yacon; n = 12); Y (without colon cancer with yacon; n = 10); and CY (with colon cancer and yacon; n = 12). Animals of groups S and C received AIN-93 M diet and animals of groups Y and CY received the same diet but added with yacon flour containing 28.95% FOS, to provide 5% FOS in the diet, for 16 weeks. From week 4 to 8, the animals of C and CY groups received an intraperitoneal dose of 25 mg/kg body weight of 1.2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH-Sigma®) once a week. In the last week, 24h-urine collection was performed for intestinal permeability analysis using lactulose and mannitol. Blood sample was collected for the analysis of IL-10 and IL-12 cytokines (Milliplex® Map, Luminex®) and total antioxidant capacity - TAC (Elabscience®). Large intestine was collected for intraluminal pH, short chain fatty acids - SCFA (HPLC) and immunoglobulin A – sIgA (Cloud-Clone®) analysis. Normal distributed data were analyzed by Two-way ANOVA, followed by Newman-Keuls (p < 0.05), using GraphPad Prism®, version 7. Results Cancer-induced animals showed higher TNF-α, SCFA (acetate, propionate and butirate), and lower TAC. Yacon reduced intraluminal pH and lactulose/mannitol ratio, increased propionic acid in the feces, but showed no effect on IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α, and IL-10/IL-12 ratio. The levels of sIgA were increased only in the group fed yacon without cancer (group Y). Mannitol and TAC were higher in CY group, showing a significant interaction of yacon and colon cancer. Conclusions Yacon reduced pH, intestinal permeability and the oxidative stress associated with colon cancer. The local immunity (sIgA) was raised, although no effect was observed on cytokines with yacon consumption. Yacon is a rich source of FOS wich improves the intestinal barrier and mucosal immunity, particularly in healthy animals. Funding Sources CNPq, FAPES.

Abstract. Background: The pathophysiological basis of chronic kidney disease and its complications, including cardiovascular disease, are associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. We investigated the effects of active vitamin D (calcitriol) and synthetic vitamin D analog (paricalcitol) on oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was composed of 83 patients with a minimum hemodialysis vintage of one year. Patients with a history of any infection, malignancy, and chronic inflammatory disease were excluded. Oxidative markers (total oxidant and antioxidant status) and inflammation markers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6) were analyzed. Results: A total of 47% (39/83) patients were using active or analog vitamin D. Total antioxidant status was significantly higher in patients with using active or analog vitamin D than those who did not use (p = 0.006). Whereas, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index were significantly higher in patients with not using vitamin D when compared with the patients who were using vitamin D preparation (p = 0.005 and p = 0.004, respectively). On the other hand, total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and oxidative stress index were similar between patients who used active vitamin D or vitamin D analog (p = 0.6; p = 0.4 and p = 0.7, respectively). Conclusion: The use of active or selective vitamin D analog in these patients decreases total oxidant status and increases total antioxidant status. Also, paricalcitol is as effective as calcitriol in decreasing total oxidant status and increasing total antioxidant status in patients with chronic kidney disease.
