ABSTRACT Phenolic compounds are a group phytochemicals widely but not uniformly distributed in the plant kingdom. These compounds have generated great expectations in the scientific community as natural therapeutics due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. In an attempt to associate the intake of phenolic compounds with reduced risk of chronic diseases, much effort has been invested in the phenolic characterization of plant-based products. Phenolic compounds are usually taken orally through food or supplements intake. The gastrointestinal tract, therefore, is the main route of entrance to the body. Initial attention has been focused on studying the bioavailability of the native compounds present in food. Nevertheless, their apparent low bioavailability has awoken the possibility of contemplating other related metabolites rather than the original forms. The obstinacy to really cover the general metabolism of phenolic compounds in the human body provided their colonic fate with a central role. This is partly explained because phenolic compounds are modestly absorbed and, therefore, a considerable amount of unmetabolized products reaches the colon. The different works that make up the body of this Doctoral Thesis are focused on the study of the colonic metabolism of the more representative phenolic compounds present in three plant-based products. The products concerned were enriched olive oil in its own phenolic compounds and in combination with thyme phenolic compounds, pomegranate and Arbutus unedo (strawerry tree) fruit. In-vitro fermentation and human interventions were conducted for the purpose of exploring the fate of phenolic compounds in the gut.

Introduction Recently, there is an increased awareness on metabolic syndrome – a condition characterized by a group of metabolic risk factors in one person. They include abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance, prothrombotic state & proinflammatory state. The dominant underlying risk factors appear to be abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. In addition, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most commonly associated “liver” manifestation of metabolic syndrome which can progress to advance liver disease (e.g. cirrhosis) with associated morbidity and mortality. Lifestyle therapies such as weight loss significantly improve all aspects of metabolic syndrome, as well as reducing progression of NAFLD and cardiovascular mortality. Walnut (Juglans regia L. seed) is one the most popular nuts consumed in the world. It is loaded in polyunsaturated fatty acids – linoleic acid (LA), oleic acid and α-linolenic acid (ALA), an ω3 fatty acid. It has been used since ancient times and epidemiological studies have revealed that incorporating walnuts in a healthy diet reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Recent investigations reported that walnut diet improves the function of blood vessels and lower serum cholesterol.

Clarke, Chair Insulin resistance has been spreading as food and sedentary lifestyles are becoming more common. Major bodily complications often result, necessitating a search for affordable solutions. Phytochemicals are commonly used in alternative medicine but less so in areas where obesity and T2D prevail. This thesis studies ellagic acid (EA) and its metabolite urolithin A (UA) as potential treatments for insulin resistance, focusing on the main site of glucose uptake, skeletal muscle. In diet-induced insulin-resistant mice, long-term dietary EA&UA administration reduced glucose levels in IPITTs, while UA alone also reduced serum FFA and fasting glucose levels. Mitochondrial turnover and ROS detoxification markers increased with treatment, indicating improved mitochondrial quality control. Differentiated C2C12 mouse myotubes were utilized to study cellular effects of EA and UA. In insulin resistant myotubes, treatment enhanced ATP ii production and reduced ROS, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis. With insulin, UA increased uncoupled respiration while decreasing ROS, implying increased fuel oxidation without adding oxidative stress.

Two complementary tools are employed to select, among a large set of natural and synthetic phenols, the most promising antioxidants. On the one hand, density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) of 70 natural (i.e., tocopherols, hydroxybenzoic and cinnamic acids, flavonoids, stilbenes, lignans, and coumarins) and synthetic (i.e., 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisol (BHA), and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ)) phenols. These BDEs are discussed on the basis of structure–activity relationships with regard to their potential antioxidant activities. On the other hand, the kinetic rate constants and number of hydrogen atoms released per phenol molecule are measured by monitoring the reaction of phenols with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH‚) radical.

Punicalins were the main ellagitannins, whereas the predominant anthocyanin was cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside, followed by cyanidin 3-glucoside. Total phenols, tannins, hydrolyzable tannins, and anthocyanins in the investigated juices ranged from 1379.9 to 3748.8 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/L, 394.8 to 895.2 mg GAE/L, 150.8 to 2374.2 mg ellagic acid/L, and 0 to 281 mg • cyanidin 3-glucoside/L, respectively. Antioxidant activity, determined by DPPH , FRAP, and ABTS, was positively correlated with the total phenolic compounds and hydrolyzable tannins. Alcohols, Citation: Esposto, S.; Veneziani, G.; acids, and furans were the volatile groups that best described the differences between juices.

Presently, it is utilized not only for the exterior appearance of its fruit but above all, for the nutritional and health characteristics of the various parts composing this last one (carpellary membranes, arils, seeds and bark). The fruit, the pomegranate, is rich in numerous chemical compounds (flavonoids, ellagitannins, proanthocyanidins, mineral salts, vitamins, lipids, organic acids) of high biological and nutraceutical value that make it the object of study for many research groups, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector.

Obese people have a very high probability of developing metabolic syndrome, a condition in which cholesterol, lipid, and glucose levels rise, causing diabetes and heart disease.

Dra. Mariana Costa Monteiro Prof. Dr. Daniel Perrone Moreira RIO DE JANEIRO 2018 DEDICATION À minha família e às pessoas maravilhosas que apareceram na minha vida. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Primeiramente, gostaria de agradecer a Deus por ter me dado forças para não desistir e por ter colocado na minha vida “pessoas-anjo”, que me ajudaram e me apoiaram até nos momentos em que eu achava que ia dar tudo errado. Aos meus pais Beth e Miti. Eles não mediram esforços para que eu pudesse receber uma boa educação e para que eu fosse feliz. Logo no início da graduação, a situação financeira ficou bem apertada, mas eles continuaram fazendo de tudo para me ajudar. Foram milhares de favores prestados, marmitas e caronas. Meu pai diz que fez anos de curso de inglês e espanhol, porque passou anos acordando cedo no sábado só para me levar no curso que eu fazia no Fundão. Tinha dia que eu saía do curso morta de fome e quando eu entrava no carro, tinha uma marmita com almoço, com direito até a garrafa de suco.
