Item Natural compounds in edible plants that modify the nervous and cardiovascular functions.(2022) Oliveira, Rafaela de Souza; Pereira, Rosângela dos Santos; Santos, Eleonice Moreira; OIiveira, Djalma Menezes de; Figueiredo, Sônia Maria deEdible plants contain essential metals, vitamins, carbohydrates and other nutrientes that are essential for growth of the human body and to provide sufficient energy for its biochemical and physiological performance. However, some edible plants contain phytocompounds that change the functioning of the central nervous system and vascular functions, even when ingested in quantities, insufficient to cause visible signs or symptoms in the short or medium term. The objective of this work was to investigate data related to compounds in edible plants that influence the functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular system. Open free databases were consulted searching on edible plants and its derivatives that present activity on nervous and cardiovascular functions. Methylxanthines, tryptamines, tropanes, phenylethylamines, ergot alkaloids and the compounds capsaycin, safrole, myristin, cathinone, dioscorine, glyrrhizin and thujone were considered in this review. Phytocompounds in edible plants can increase symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, irritability, depression or anxiety and/or cardiovascular disturbes in susceptible individuals. The detection of these phytocompounds or its metabolites in urine by HPLC or other high- efficiency chromatographic methods increase the efficiency of the diagnosis of health disorders in these susceptible individuals.Item Nutritional counseling for a breast cancer patient, including Brazilian Green Propolis supplementation : a case report.(2022) Oliveira, Rafaela de Souza; Messias, Anny Caroline; Horta, Jacques Gabriel Álvares; Oliveira, Deborah Campos; Correa, Paula Brumana; Faria, Jussara Quintão; Lopes, Gabriela Fonseca; Cunha, Edinalva Bitarães; Caligiorne, Rachel Basques; Figueiredo, Sônia Maria deThe case study reports on nutritional counseling the use of nutritional supplement of Brazilian Green Propolis for a patient with breast cancer. Treatment with green propolis was given to improve the nutritional status of the patient and also reduce the symptoms caused by chemotherapy. Marker values decreased and chemotherapy side effect symptoms were alleviated. The green propolis was effective as adjuvant therapy and improved the quality of life of the patient during the treatment period. News clinical trials should be performed to determine the best Brazilian green propolis concentrations for the treatment of other types of cancer at different stages of progression.
