Abstract
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammation process that can affect the systemic inflammatory response syndrome, mainly in obese individuals. The passion fruit peel flour (PFPF) is rich in fibers that help to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
Methods: In this study, AP was induced by 5% sodium taurocholate inoculation (biliopancreatic duct). The prognosis was evaluated after treatment with PFPF in obese rats overfed during lactation. PFPF (40 mg/kg b.w.) was administered by oral gavage five h after AP induction or sham surgery. Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: control; sham (CSP), AP (CP) and AP treated with PFPF (40mg) (CP40); obese, sham (OSP), AP (OP), and AP treated with PFPF (40mg) (OP40).
Results: The results demonstrated a significant reduction of blood glucose and triglyceride concentrations after PFPF treatment, compared to AP groups. PFPF treated groups also had lower concentrations of IL-6, and an increased concentration of IL-10 in the OP40 group.
Conclusion: In conclusion, PFPF delays the absorption of simple carbohydrates, due to being rich in pectin (in gel form). This improved glycemic control after AP induction. This may be useful in improving the inflammatory response during acute pancreatitis.
Keywords: Acute pancreatitis, blood, glucose, glycemic control, inflammatory response, obesity, overnutrition, passion fruit peel flour, triglyceride.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
