Abstract

Nowadays the concern of the population with the improvement of the corporal esthetics and the search for a healthier life, have appeared new alimentary products used in the diet like supplements, among them we can emphasize the oil of avocado, that alone or associated with physical exercise would aid , In a more agile way, the scope of the purposes of this study. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of supplementation with avocado oil on young mice submitted to swimming for 4 weeks. For the accomplishment of its accomplishment, 17 young Swiss female mice were separated into three groups: Control (CTL), Trained (TRE) and Training Supplemented with avocado oil (TAB). At the end of the experiment, glucose tolerance test (GTT), insulin tolerance test (ITT) and euthanasia for organ extraction were performed, such as heart, liver, soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, brown adipose tissue, and adipose tissue Subcutaneous, gonadal, retroperitoneal and intra-abdominal. There were also analyzes on liver fat content and serum concentrations of albumin, total protein, cholesterol, triglycerides, TGO, TGP and lean body mass estimation. Among the results obtained we can highlight the feeding behavior of the experimental group, observing a lower food consumption by the BAD group, but surprisingly presenting a greater weight gain. On the other hand, undesirably, supplementation was shown to favor the accumulation of fat in the liver, suggesting that the group could eventually develop liver steatosis. It was concluded that avocado oil does not seem to benefit the parameters studied here.
