Abstract

ZAPATA-LONDONO, Maria Bibiana et al. EFFECT OF MANGO (MANGIFERA INDICA) CV. AZÚCAR JUICE CONSUMPTION ON PLASMA ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY AND OXIDATIVE STRESS BIOMARKERS. Vitae [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.1, e3. ISSN 0121-4004.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.vitae.v27n1a03.

Background:

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the world’s most consumed fruit, and it is also a rich source of antioxidants that may prevent oxidative stress.

Objectives:

This study aimed to determine if mango (cv. Azúcar) juice can improve the antioxidant status of healthy individuals with low consumption of vegetables and fruit.

Methods:

This was a cross-over single-blind study carried out with 16 healthy individuals for 73 days. Participants were randomly assigned to either a mango juice period or a placebo period. Total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, mangiferin, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total glutathione, and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels were determined in plasma.

Results:

Plasma antioxidant activity was significantly higher in the juice consumption period than the placebo consumption period; however, total phenolic content, total glutathione, TBARS, and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels did not show significant differences between juice period and placebo period. Mangiferin was detected in every participant after juice consumption.

Conclusions:

Mango (cv. Azúcar) juice daily consumption improves plasma antioxidant capacity.

Keywords : Mangifera indica; mangiferin; oxidative stress; plasma antioxidant capacity; ORAC; ABTS.
