Resumo: | Cholesterol is synthesized by the liver and acquired through food. However, excess LDL (low-density lipoprotein) in the bloodstream can form atherosclerotic plaques and clog vessels and capillaries. The Cynara scolymus (Artichoke) plant can act as an antiatherosclerotic, lowering blood cholesterol levels. Thus, the objective of this work was to carry out a survey on the main factors related to cholesterol levels and to analyze the effect of the use of Cynara scolymus extract in relation to hypercholesterolemia in patients at the Municipal Pharmacy of Ubá-MG. For this purpose, investigative questionnaires were applied to patients at the pharmacy to assess various factors related to cholesterol. A group of 20 people who claimed to have high cholesterol were selected to undergo blood tests and assess their cholesterol level. It was observed that 10 patients had high total cholesterol, and they were divided into two groups of 5 people: an experimental group, in which participants used Cynara scolymus extract and the other group medicated with placebo. After one month of medication consumption, there was greater oxidizing activity in patients in the artichoke group, reaching a decrease of up to 21% in cholesterol levels, compared to patients in the control group. Thus, the use of Cynara scolymus seems to help control plasma cholesterol. |

Porém, o excesso de LDL (lipoproteína de baixa densidade) na corrente sanguínea pode formar placas ateroscleróticas e obstruir vasos e capilares. A planta Cynara scolymus (Alcachofra) pode agir como antiateroesclerótico, diminuindo os níveis de colesterol no sangue. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um levantamento sobre os principais fatores relacionados aos níveis de colesterol e analisar o efeito do uso do extrato de Cynara scolymus em relação à hipercolesterolemia em pacientes da Farmácia Municipal de Ubá-MG. Com este propósito, foram aplicados questionários investigativos aos pacientes da farmácia para avaliar diversos fatores relacionados ao colesterol. Um grupo de 20 pessoas que afirmavam apresentar colesterol alto foram selecionados para realizar exames de sangue e avaliar a taxa de colesterol. Observou-se que 10 pacientes estavam com colesterol total alto, e estes foram divididos em dois grupos de 5 pessoas: sendo um experimental, no qual os participantes fizeram uso do extrato de Cynara scolymus e o outro grupo medicado com placebo. Após um mês do consumo da medicação verificou-se maior atividade oxidante nos pacientes do grupo alcachofra chegando a uma diminuição de até 21% dos níveis de colesterol, que nos pacientes do grupo controle. Dessa forma, o uso de Cynara scolymus parece auxiliar no controle do colesterol plasmático.Sustenere Publishing2023-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/788010.6008/CBPC2236-9600.2022.004.0013Scire Salutis; Vol. 12 No. 4 (2022): Scire Salutis - Ago, Set, Out 2022; 135-143Scire Salutis; Vol. 12 Núm. 4 (2022): Scire Salutis - Ago, Set, Out 2022; 135-143Scire Salutis; v. 12 n. 4 (2022): Scire Salutis - Ago, Set, Out 2022; 135-1432236-9600reponame:Scire Salutisinstname:Companhia Brasileira de Produção Científica (CBPC)instacron:ESSporenghttps://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/7880/4329https://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/7880/4328Copyright (c) 2023 Scire Salutishttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLima, Lívia de Toledo Moreira, Silvana Rodrigues Pires Pereira, Ana Paula Gomes Soares Baía, Vitor da Cunha 2023-08-06T23:44:25Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/7880Revistahttps://sustenere.co/index.php/sciresalutisONGhttps://sustenere.co/index.php/sciresalutis/oai||carlos@arvore.org.br2236-96002236-9600opendoar:2023-08-06T23:44:25Scire Salutis - Companhia Brasileira de Produção Científica (CBPC)false |
