RT Journal Article T1 The preventive and therapeutic consumption of meat enriched with carob fruit extract, rich in phenolic compounds, improves colonic antioxidant status in late-stage T2DM rats A1 Macho González, Adrián A1 Apaza Ticona, Luis Nestor A1 Redondo Castillejo, Rocío A1 Hernández Martín, Marina A1 Sánchez Muniz, Francisco José A1 Hernáiz, María José A1 Bastida Codina, Sara A1 Benedí González, Juana María A1 Bocanegra De Juana, Aranzazu A1 López-Oliva Muñoz, María Elvira A1 Mateos Vega, Carmen A1 Garcimartín Álvarez, Alba AB Oxidative stress is prevalent in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and has been associated with high meat consumption. Carob Fruit Extract (CFE) contains phenolic compounds, making it a suitable functional ingredient. Current study aims to evaluate the effect of CFE-enriched meat (CFE-meat) consumption on the antioxidant status of proximal and distal colon, and its relationship with fecal phenolic compounds in late-stage T2DM rats. Three groups of eight rats were studied: 1) D, fed control-meat; 2) ED, fed CFE-meat since the beginning of the study; 3) DE, fed CFE-meat after confirming T2DM. CFE-meat consumption reduces colonic oxidative stress mainly in the proximal section and helps to ameliorate glutathione metabolism and antioxidant score. Difference between ED and DE groups were associated with colon homeostasis and T2DM progression suggesting greater fermentation but lower absorption in the DE group. CFE appears as a promising tool to improve the antioxidant status observed in late-stage T2DM.
