Resumo: | Introduction: Executive functions (EFs) involve three interconnected dimensions: working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control. Curcumin, present in Curcuma longa rhizomes or turmeric, has been used for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and neuroprotective effects, with potential for prevention/treatment of highly prevalent pathologies that burden healthcare systems, such as dementias. Methodology: This paper evaluated whether turmeric consumption by college students impacts their executive performance. University students underwent tests assessing FEs before and after nutritional supplementation with 1g/day of turmeric for 4 weeks. Results: Acute or chronic turmeric consumption had no significant impacts on tests assessing selective attention, working memory, abstract reasoning, cognitive strategy modification and problem solving. Conclusions: The absence of significant effects may be due to the characteristics of the experimental design that analyzed a young population with cognitive integrity. The low absorption/bioavailability of curcumin may also have influenced the results. |

La curcumina, presente en los rizomas de la Curcuma longa, o cúrcuma, se ha utilizado por sus efectos antiinflamatorios, antioxidantes, anticancerígenos y neuroprotectores, con potencial para la prevención/tratamiento de patologías de alta prevalencia que agobian a los sistemas sanitarios, como las demencias. Metodología: Este trabajo evaluó si el consumo de cúrcuma por parte de los estudiantes universitarios influye en su rendimiento ejecutivo. Los estudiantes universitarios se sometieron a pruebas de evaluación del EF antes y después de la suplementación nutricional con 1g/día de cúrcuma durante 4 semanas. Resultados: El consumo agudo o crónico de cúrcuma no tuvo impactos significativos en las pruebas que evalúan la atención selectiva, la memoria de trabajo, el razonamiento abstracto, la modificación de estrategias cognitivas y la resolución de problemas. Conclusiones: La ausencia de efectos significativos puede deberse a las características del diseño experimental que analizó una población joven con integridad cognitiva. La baja absorción/biodisponibilidad de la curcumina también puede haber influido en los resultados.Introdução: As funções executivas (FEs) envolvem três dimensões interconectadas: memória de trabalho, flexibilidade cognitiva e controle inibitório. A curcumina, presente em rizomas de Curcuma longa, ou cúrcuma, vem sendo utilizada por seus efeitos anti-inflamatórios, antioxidante, anticancerígeno e neuroprotetor, com potencial para prevenção/tratamento de patologias muito prevalentes e que oneram os sistemas de saúde, como as demências. Metodologia: Este trabalho avaliou se o consumo de cúrcuma por universitários impacta seu desempenho executivo. Universitários foram submetidos a testes que avaliam as FEs antes e após a suplementação nutricional com 1g/dia de cúrcuma durante 4 semanas. Resultados: O consumo agudo ou crônico de cúrcuma não teve impactos significativos sobre testes que avaliam atenção seletiva, memória operacional, raciocínio abstrato, modificação de estratégias cognitivas e resolução de problemas. Conclusões: A ausência de efeitos significativos pode ser decorrente das características do desenho experimental que analisou uma população jovem e com integridade cognitiva. A baixa absorção/biodisponibilidade da curcumina também pode ter influenciado nos resultados.Research, Society and Development2022-08-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3343110.33448/rsd-v11i11.33431Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 11; e193111133431Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 11; e193111133431Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 11; e1931111334312525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/33431/28337Copyright (c) 2022 Francyelle Sambüc Lieberenz; Laura Araújo Pereira Santos; Heloiza Pereira Fernandes da Silva; Alisson Hirle Gonçalves; Amanda Pereira dos Anjos; Larissa Kelly Damasceno Costa; Gabriela de Paula Carli; Caio César de Souza Alves; Alessandra de Paula Carli; Ernani Aloysio Amaralhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLieberenz, Francyelle SambücSantos, Laura Araújo PereiraSilva, Heloiza Pereira Fernandes da Gonçalves, Alisson Hirle Anjos, Amanda Pereira dos Costa, Larissa Kelly Damasceno Carli, Gabriela de PaulaAlves, Caio César de Souza Carli, Alessandra de PaulaAmaral, Ernani Aloysio 2022-09-05T13:24:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33431Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:49:04.848894Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
