RESUMO

Epidemiological studies shown that the consumption of diets rich in plant foods and beverages is associated with reduction in the development of chronic-degenerative diseases. These foods are sources of substances such as carotenoids and polyphenols that can act as chemoprotectives agents, reducing the damage caused by reactive oxygen species, formed both in physiological and pathological conditions. The objectives of this study were to determine, in vivo, the antioxidant activity of grape juice and Norbixin against oxidative stress induced by Acetaminophen (AAP) administration, as well as determine, in vitro, the antioxidant capacity of juices during the processes of manufacturing and storage. Were determined the total phenolic contents using the Folin - Ciocalteau method; Catechin and Epicatechins by CLAE, major polar components by direct infusion and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and antioxidant capacity by the DPPH method. To the antioxidant activity determination in vivo, was conducted a biological assay with 30 days of duration. They were used 30 rats male Wistar divided in 6 groups (n = 5). The animals were given twice daily 1 ml of Concord grape juice (CGJ) (polyphenols concentration 24mg/mL) or 1 mL of aqueous solution Norbixin (Nb) (concentration 24mg/ mL), or 1 mL of water. In 29 ° and 30 ° days, the animals received a dose of Acetaminophen (100mg/kg of body weight). After sacrifice, liver and kidneys were removed for histological and enzymatic analysis. The liver and kidney tissues were analyzed by optical microscopy (OM) and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). Were measured lipid peroxidation levels (TBARS), the antioxidant enzymes activity (SOD, MnSOD, CuZnSOD, GPx, GPx Se-dependent and catalase). The in vitro results show that juices have high total phenolic levels and antioxidant capacity, which are kept for the processing and storage of these products. In vivo results show that liver of animals treated with CGJ+AAP and Nb+AAP was a decrease significant of lipid peroxidation caused by AAP in 18.7% and 20.99% respectively. On the other hand, in the kidney, the decrease was 7.1% in the CGJ+AAP group and 5.3% in the Nb+AAP group, whereas these values were not statistically different (p£0.05) compared to the group AAP. Concord grape juice or Norbixin tested alone did not differ from Control group. The CGJ+AAP group showed a significant increase of 200% in the liver and 100% in the kidneys in the catalase activity when compared to the AAP group. In Nb+AAP group catalase activity in the liver increased 54%, but in the kidney, there was no increase in activity of catalase compared to the group AAP. In this study was verified that juices showed high antioxidant capacity, which is maintained during the stages of processing and storage. Liver and kidneys showed distinct responses in the antioxidants presence, but both CGJ and Nb reduces AAP-toxicity induced
