Item Influence of integral and decaffeinated coffee brews on metabolic parameters of rats fed with hiperlipidemic diets(Instituto de Tecnologia do Paraná - Tecpar, 2013-09) Gomes, Júlia Ariana de Souza; Faria, Bruno Generoso; Silva, Viviam de Oliveira; Zangerônimo, Márcio Gilberto; Miranda, José Rafael; Lima, Adriene Ribeiro de; Pereira, Rosemary Gualberto Fonseca Alvarenga; Pereira, Luciano JoséThe objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of integral and decaffeinated coffee brews (Coffea arabica L and C. canephora Pierre) on the metabolic parameters of rats fed with hyperlipidemic diet. Thirty male Wistar rats (initial weight of 270 g ± 20 g) were used in the study, which were divided into six groups five each. The treatments were normal diet, hyperlipidemic diet, hyperlipidemic diet associated with integral coffee arabica or canephora brews (7.2 mL/kg/day) and hyperlipidemic diet associated to decaffeinated arabica, or canephora brews, using the same dosage. After 41 days, performance analyses were conducted.The rats were then euthanized and the carcasses were used for the analysis of dried ether extract and crude protein. Fractions of adipose tissue were processed for histological analysis. There was a reduction in weight gain and accumulation of lipids in the carcasses, lower diameter of adipocytes and a lower relative weight of the liver and kidneys of rats fed with hyperlipidemic diet associated with integral coffee brew. Integral coffee brew reduced the obesity in the rats receiving hyperlipidemic diet, but the same effect did not occur with the decaffeinated types.Item Semen quality and reproductive performance of boars kept in pens containing conventional coffee husk as a floor covering(Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2016-07) Teles, Mariele Cristina; Pereira, Bárbara Azevedo; Rocha, Luiz Gustavo Pessoa; Resende, Carla Oliveira; Rodrigues, Valéria Vânia; Pereira, Luciano José; Gil, Joan Enric Rodríguez-; Zangeronimo, Márcio GilbertoThe objective of this study was to evaluate the putative effects of the use of coffee husk as floor covering on boar semen quality. Sixteen boars were divided into two groups. The first group was held in a conventional system with a compact floor. The second group was kept on a compact floor covered with coffee pods. The experimental period was 60 days. Levels of caffeine and chlorogenic acid in the insemination doses (ID) before and after 96 h of storage at 15 °C and the reproductive performance (litter size and rate of return to estrus) of these doses after their utilization in a standard artificial insemination protocol were evaluated. The ID from the animals kept in pens containing the coffee pods contained 25.4±8.7 μg/mL of caffeine, whereas no significant amounts of chlorogenic acid were detected. Semen from boars housed with coffee husk showed a significant increase in malondialdehyde levels, which indicates a significant increase in cell membrane peroxidation, after 96 h of storage. There were no significant differences in the other evaluated semen quality parameters when analyzed among groups. Likewise, there was no significant influence of coffee hulls on either the rate of return to estrus or the litter size of inseminated females. The use of coffee husks as floor covering worsens the quality of fresh semen and that of insemination doses stored for 96 h but not the quality of semen immediately diluted; therefore, coffee husks may be used only on farms that use semen immediately processed after collection without affecting the reproductive parameters of breeding stock.
