Resumo: | Tribulus terrestris (TT) is a plant native to India, known as Abrolo or “Puncture Vine”. There are many uncertainties related to the effects of TT on the athlete's physical power, testosterone levels and as an aphrodisiac. There are few reports on the effect of TT on the cardiovascular system, however they mention that there may be a negative correlation between TT and the activity of the angiotensin-converting enzyme. In this study we evaluated the effect of TT without weight gain on serum testosterone concentration and cardiac morphometry in rats. Three rats were randomly divided into 2 experimental groups (n = 15): Group CT, treated with 0.9% saline solution; TT group, treated with Tribulus terrestris extract. After 60 days of treatment, animals that received TT gained less body weight and did not dissipate serum testosterone levels and cardiac morphometry when compared to rats in the CT group. Our results obtained that TT prevented weight gain without altering the energy balance of the diet, without altering testosterone secretion and without altering cardiac morphometry. Therefore, TT may have a promising future in preserving body weight, making preventing weight gain easier to achieve than losing weight and maintaining that loss. |

Existen muchas incertidumbres relacionadas con los efectos del TT en la potencia física del atleta, los niveles de testosterona y como afrodisíaco. Hay pocos informes sobre el efecto de la TT en el sistema cardiovascular; sin embargo, mencionan que puede haber una correlación negativa entre la TT y la actividad de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina. En este estudio evaluamos el efecto de TT sin aumento de peso sobre la concentración sérica de testosterona y la morfometría cardíaca en ratas. Tres ratas se dividieron aleatoriamente en 2 grupos experimentales (n = 15): Grupo CT, tratado con solución salina al 0,9%; Grupo TT, tratado con extracto de Tribulus terrestris. Después de 60 días de tratamiento, los animales que recibieron TT ganaron menos peso corporal y no disiparon los niveles séricos de testosterona ni la morfometría cardíaca en comparación con las ratas del grupo CT. Nuestros resultados obtuvieron que el TT evitó el aumento de peso sin alterar el balance energético de la dieta, sin alterar la secreción de testosterona y sin alterar la morfometría cardíaca. Por lo tanto, el TT puede tener un futuro prometedor en la preservación del peso corporal, lo que hace que sea más fácil prevenir el aumento de peso que perder y mantener esa pérdida.O Tribulus terrestris (TT) é uma planta originária da Índia, conhecida como Abrolo ou “Videira-de-punctura”. São muitas as incertezas relacionadas aos efeitos do TT na potência física de atleta, nos níveis de testosterona e como afrodisíaco. Há poucos relatos do efeito do TT no sistema cardiovascular, contudo citam que pode existir uma correlação negativa entre consumo do TT e atividade da enzima conversora de angiotensina. Neste estudo avaliamos o efeito do TT no ganho de peso, na concentração sérica da testosterona e na morfometria cardíaca de ratos. Trinca ratos foram divididos aleatoriamente dividido em 2 grupos experimentais (n=15): Grupo CT, tratados com solução fisiológica 0,9%; grupo TT, tratados com extrato de Tribulus terrestris. Após 60 dias de tratamento, os animais que receberam TT ganharam menos peso corporal e não apresentaram diferenças nos níveis séricos de testosterona e morfometria cardíaca quando comparados aos ratos do grupo CT. Nossos resultados sugerem que o TT preveniu ganho de peso sem alterar o equilíbrio energético da dieta, sem influenciar a secreção da testosterona e sem alterar a morfometria cardíaca. Portanto, o TT pode ter um futuro promissor em preservar o peso corporal, tornando a prevenção do ganho de peso mais fácil de alcançar do que perder peso e manter essa perda.Research, Society and Development2021-08-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1863410.33448/rsd-v10i10.18634Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 10; e180101018634Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 10; e180101018634Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 10; e1801010186342525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/18634/16718Copyright (c) 2021 Leonardo Luca Luciano; Evelise Aline Soares; Samuel José Fernandes de Lima; Rayzza Tomaz Griebeler ; Raissa Forgerini ; Michelli Pereira ; Ester Caixeta; Vitória Lima Boaventura; Diego Furtado da Cunha; Gérsika Bitencourt Santos Barros; José Antonio Dias Garciahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLuciano, Leonardo Luca Soares, Evelise Aline Lima, Samuel José Fernandes de Griebeler , Rayzza Tomaz Forgerini , Raissa Pereira , Michelli Caixeta, Ester Boaventura, Vitória Lima Cunha, Diego Furtado da Barros, Gérsika Bitencourt SantosGarcia, José Antonio Dias 2021-10-02T21:49:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18634Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:38:43.455250Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
