    The influence of maca (Lepidium meyenii) on antioxidant status, lipid and glucose metabolism in rat.

  • Original language description

    This work focused on the effect of Maca on lipid, anti-oxidative, and glucose parameters in hereditary hypertriglyceridemic (HHTg) rat. Maca (1%) was administred to rats as a blood gpart of a high-sucrose diet (HSD) for 2 weeks. Maca significantly decreased the levels of VLDL, LDL , and total cholesterol, and also the level of TAG (triacylglycerols) in the plasma, VLDL, and liver. Maca significantly improved glucose tolerance, as the decrease of AUC (area under the curve) of glucose showed, and loweredlevels of glucose in blood. The activity of SOD (superoxide dismutase) in the liver, the GPX (glutathione peroxidase) in the blood, and the level of GSH (glutathione) in liver increased in all cases significantly. Results demonstrate that maca seems to be promising for a positive influence on chronic human diseases (characterized by atherogenous lipoprotein profile, aggravated antioxidative status, and impaired glucose tolerance), and their prevention.

    Vliv řeřichy peruánské (Lepidium meyenii) na antioxidační stav, metabolismus lipidů a cukru u krys

  • Czech description

    Byl sledován vliv Maca na parametry lipidového a glukózového metabolizmu a antioxidační stav u potkanů s hereditarní hypertriglyceridémií. Maca (1%) byla podávána s dietou s vysokým podílem sacharózy po dobu 2 týdnů. Maca significantně snížila hladiny VLDL, LDL , a celkového l cholesterol a triacylglycerolů v plazmě, ve VLDL, a v játrehc. Maca zlepšila glukózovou toleranci a snížila glykémii. Aktivita SOD (superoxid dismutázy) v játrehc, the GPX (glutathione peroxidázy) v krvi a hlydiny glutationu v játrech byly zvýšeny. Výsledky ukazují na příznivé účinky maca na metabolické poruchy asociované s aterogenezí.
