ABSTRACT The physiological quality of soya bean seeds is a determining factor in establishing the crop in the field. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physiological quality of soya bean seeds produced by plants grown from seeds of different sizes in two crop seasons. The BS 2606 SOYTECH, NS 6700 IPRO, NA 5909 RR, BS IRGA 1642 IPRO and LANÇA 58i60 IPRO cultivars were used, sown in 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. The experimental design was of randomised blocks, with treatments comprising seeds from plants grown from seeds of three sieve sizes (5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 mm for cultivars BS2606, NS 6700 IPRO, NA 5909 RR, LANÇA; and 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 mm for the BS IRGA 1642 IPRO cultivar). The following tests were conducted: germination, first germination count, shoot and root length, total seedling dry weight, seedling emergence, accelerated ageing and electrical conductivity. The results were subjected to analysis of variance, and the mean values were compared using Tukey’s test at 5% probability. The size classification of the soya bean seeds has no effect on the germination of the seeds that are produced. Higher seed vigour in the NA 5909 RR cultivar, determined by the seedling emergence test, and accelerated ageing in NS 6700 IPRO, were obtained from seeds produced by plants grown from seeds classified as a sieve size of 6.5 mm. For the other cultivars, the size classification of the seeds had no effect on the vigour of the produced seeds. field seasons 260 SOYTECH 670 590 164 i 58i6 used 20192020 2019 2020 2019/202 20202021 2021 2020/2021 blocks 5.5, 55 5 (5.5 60 6 0 6. 65 BS2606 70 7 7. cultivar. cultivar . cultivar) conducted count length weight conductivity variance Tukeys Tukey s probability 26 67 59 16 58i 2019202 201 202 2019/20 2020202 2020/202 5.5 (5.

In Exp. 2, treatment 5 was eliminated. In Experiment 1, there was an effect (P<0.05) on performance and carcass weight, with 700 ppm of AG. In Experiment 2, the height of intestinal villi and late hypersensitivity (P<0.05) improved with 700 ppm of AG, as well as carcass yield at 42 days. It can be concluded that the addition of 700 ppm of AminoGut in diets in broilers from 1 to 21 days of age, increased the performance, villus length, carcass yield and immune response.

RESUMEN Considerando estudios previos sobre el potencial uso de la vinaza en el sector agropecuario, este estudio busca diseñar un alimento para pollos de engorde en tres presentaciones de acuerdo con las etapas del programa de alimentación del animal (inicio 1-14, crecimiento 15-30 y finalización 31-42 días) que incluya vinaza en la formulación. Para ello, se consideró el grano de soya como fuente de proteína, una dieta con energía metabolizable entre 12.351,06 a 14.025,78 kJ∙kg-1. Se determinó la granulometría de acuerdo con los manuales de manejo de pollos de engorde, y se especificó el proceso de fabricación del alimento en un diagrama de bloques y un diagrama de flujo; de igual forma se propone un protocolo de prueba para el uso del alimento formulado en una muestra de pollos de engorde de la raza Cobb. Esta investigación sugiere que el uso de la vinaza en las fórmulas de los beneficios para pollos de engorde podría aportar importantes beneficios al sector agrícola.

ABSTRACT Considering previous studies on the potential use of vinasse in the agricultural sector, this study seeks to design a feed for broilers in three presentations according to the stages of the animal’s feeding program (start 1-14, growth 15-30 and end 31-42 days) that includes vinasse in the formulation. To this end, soybeans were considered as a source of protein, a diet with metabolizable energy between 12,351.06 and 14,025.78 kJ∙kg-1. The granulometry was determined according to the broiler management manuals, and the feed manufacturing process was specified in a block diagram and a flow diagram; in the same way, a test protocol for the use of the feed formulated in a sample of broilers of the Cobb breed. This research suggests that using vinasse in feed formulations for broilers could provide significant benefits to the agricultural sector.

Abstract Currently, food products, such as oil, are displayed at high lighting intensities and sometimes at temperatures above 20 °C, factors that can accelerate oxidative rancidity, such as degradation of oil quality. This is the reason why a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control system was implemented that allowed quality tests to be carried out on the oil stored in different temperature conditions (13 °C to 27 °C). During these tests, the transfer function of the system and the controller, was found using the automatic tuning of the control box. This improved the precision and continuous voltage for illumination (from 155 lux to 1145 lux) by varying the intensity of the LEDs. For the experimental design, the central composite design (CCD) was used, resulting in 13 treatments. After 30 days, the quality of the oil was evaluated (acidity index and peroxide index), and the oxidative stability index was determined using the Rancimat method. It was found that temperature and lighting have a significant effect on the quality and oxidative stability of the oil (p < 0.05), achieving the storage condition with greater stability at 300 lux of lighting and 15 °C temperature.

Resumen Actualmente, los productos alimenticios, como el aceite, se exhiben a elevadas intensidades de iluminación y en ocasiones a temperaturas por encima de los 20 °C, factores que pueden acelerar la rancidez oxidativa, como la degradación de la calidad del aceite. Esta es la razón por la cual se implementó un sistema de control PID (Proporcional-Integral-Derivativo) que permitió realizar pruebas de calidad del aceite almacenado en diferentes condiciones de temperatura (13 °C a 27 °C). Durante esas pruebas, se halló la función de transferencia del sistema y el controlador, utilizando la sintonía automática de la caja de control. Esto mejoró la precisión y el voltaje continuo para la iluminación (de 155 lux a 1145 lux), variando la intensidad de los LED. Para el diseño experimental, se utilizó el diseño central compuesto (DCC), lo que resultó en trece tratamientos. A los treinta días, se evaluó la calidad del aceite (índice de acidez e índice de peróxidos), y se determinó el índice de estabilidad oxidativa mediante el método Rancimat. Se encontró que la temperatura y la iluminación presentan un efecto significativo sobre la calidad y la estabilidad oxidativa del aceite (p < 0.05), logrando la condición de almacenamiento con mayor estabilidad a 300 lux de iluminación y 15 °C de temperatura.

Resumo Actuamente, os produtos alimenticios, como o óleo, são exibidos em elevadas intensidades de iluminação e em ocasiões em temperaturas por acima dos 20 °C, fatores que podem acelerar o ranço oxidativo, como a degradação da qualidade do óleo. Este é o motivo pelo qual implementou-se um sistema de controle PID (Proporcional-Integral-Derivativo) que permitiu realizar provas de qualidade do óleo almacenado em diferentes condições de temperatura (13 °C até 27 °C). Durante essas provas, encontrou-se a função de transferência do sistema e o controlador, utilizando a sintonia automática da caixa de controle. Isso melhorou a precisão e a tensão contínuo para a iluminação (de 155 lux até 1145 lux), variando a intensidad dos LED. Para o desenho experimental, utilizou-se o disenho central composto (DCC), o que resultou em treze tratamentos. Aos trinta días, avaliou-se a qualidade do óleo (índice de acidez e índice de peróxidos), e determinou-se o índice de estabilidade oxidativa mediante o método Rancimat. Encontrou-se que la temperatura e a iluminação apresentam um efeto significativo sobre a qualidade e a estabilidade oxidativa do óleo (p < 0.05), conseguindo a condição de almacenamento com maior estabilidade, em 300 lux de iluminação e 15 °C de temperatura.

Abstract The supply of protein-enriched foods (AAPs) in the Chilean market has been increasing and is expected to continue growing. However, the specific types and characteristics of the products available in Chile remain unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the AAPs available in supermarkets within the Metropolitan Region. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted with a systematic search in 9 supermarkets. Products with added protein and foods modified to enhance their protein content were included. Nutritional composition, ingredients, types of added proteins, price, and availability were analyzed. Results: A total of 176 AAPs were categorized into dairy products (35.2%), farinaceous products (11.4%), snacks (31.3%), non-dairy beverages (6.8%), sugary products (4.5%), and meat/vegetable substitutes (10.8%), with the most frequent products being cereal bars (n=55) and yogurt (n=40). Snacks had the highest protein content, with a median of 33.3 g per 100 g of product. The most common proteins added were dairy proteins, soy protein, and whey protein, found in 44.9%, 37.5%, and 27.8% of the products, respectively. Conclusions: A significant presence of dairy proteins in AAPs was noted. AAPs could be a beneficial option for increasing protein intake in groups that need it. However, clinical trials are necessary to assess the impact of their consumption on different target populations.

Resumen La oferta de alimentos con adición de proteínas (AAPs) en el mercado chileno ha ido en aumento y se proyecta que continuará creciendo. Sin embargo, se desconoce con detalle el tipo y las características de los productos comercializados en Chile. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar los AAPs disponibles en supermercados de la Región Metropolitana. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo en el que se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en 9 supermercados. Se incluyeron productos con adición de proteínas y alimentos modificados para aumentar su contenido proteico. Se analizó su composición nutricional, ingredientes, proteínas añadidas, precio y disponibilidad. Resultados: Se examinaron 176 AAPs de las categorías de lácteos (35,2%), farináceos (11,4%), snacks (31,3%), bebidas no lácteas (6,8%), productos azucarados (4,5%) y cárnicos/sucedáneos de origen vegetal (10,8%), siendo los productos más frecuentes las barras de cereal (n=55) y el yogurt (n=40). Los snacks presentaron el mayor aporte de proteínas, con una mediana de 33,3 g por 100 g de producto. Las proteínas más utilizadas fueron de origen lácteo, proteína de soya y proteána de suero de leche, encontradas en un 44,9%, 37,5% y 27,8% de los productos, respectivamente. Conclusiones: Se observó una amplia adición de proteínas de origen lácteo en los AAPs. Estos productos podrían ser una opción favorable para aumentar la ingesta proteica en grupos que lo requieran, pero es necesario realizar ensayos clinicos para evaluar su impacto en distintos grupos de interés.

Abstract Introduction.Soybean establishes a symbiosis with Bradyrhizobium japonicum that allows it to fix atmospheric N. Coinoculation with other plant growth-promoting microorganisms can increase Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) and plant growth. Objective. Determine if inoculation with P-solubilizing fungi (SP), Aspergillus flavus (S1) and Trichoderma longibrachiatum (S2), affects growth and BNF variables in soybeans. Materials and methods. In the greenhouse on an Andisol and an Ultisol, growth variables and BNF were evaluated in soybeans inoculated with B. japonicum and 2 SPs. Five treatments were evaluated: an absolute control (T), addition of phosphate rock (RF), addition of RF and inoculation with B. japonicum (BRF) and the addition of RF, B. japonicum and the 2 SPs independently (BRFS1 and BRFS2). An unrestricted randomized design with 4 repetitions was established and the data was analyzed according to normality, either with ANDEVA and DGC at 5% or Kruskal Wallis at 5%. Results. The responses obtained showed a positive effect on the evaluated variables when soybeans were inoculated with SP in addition with B. japonicum. The effect was a trend in Andisol, for the variables aerial fresh weight and number of nodules and their dry weight, while for Ultisol significance was found for these same variables, as well as for aerial dry weight, leaf area and N content and foliar P, with the greatest effect in BRFS2. In absolute terms, the highest P content in the soil microbial biomass and the highest SP population was found in the treatment with the presence of S2. The populations of N Fixers (NF) in the soil were higher for T and RF that did not have inoculation with B. japonicum. Conclusion. Inoculation with SP fungi can positively affect BNF, foliar N and P amounts as well as soybean plant growth.

El efecto fue tendencia en el Andisol, para las variables peso fresco aéreo y número de nódulos y su peso seco, mientras que para el Ultisol se encontró significancia para estas mismas variables, así como para el peso seco aéreo, área foliar y contenido de N y P foliar, el efecto fue mayor en BRFS2. En términos absolutos el mayor contenido de P en la biomasa microbiana del suelo y la mayor población de SP se encontró en el tratamiento con la presencia de S2. Las poblaciones de Fijadores de N fueron mayores para T y RF. Conclusión. La inoculación con hongos SP puede afectar positivamente la FBN, las cantidades de N y P foliar así como el crecimiento de las plantas de soya.

Summary The effectiveness of collagen extracted from Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fish scale on the encapsulation of β-carotene was evaluated. Two encapsulations were performed by lyophilization: encapsulation with soy protein (EP) and encapsulation with collagen and soy protein (ECP) in 1:4 ratio. The samples were physiochemically characterized, their fluidity properties were evaluated, and mathematical and kinetic models were used to predict the stability of the encapsulated β-carotene stored at 35°C for eight weeks. Collagen extraction yield was 13.85 %, collagen had the following proximal composition: protein 47 %, ash 40 %, fat 9 % and moisture 7.9 %. Initially, ECP showed a higher retention rate (TR = 83.4 %) than EP (TR = 53.3 %), while after storage at 35 °C for eight weeks, β-carotene retention in ECP was 0.84%, while in EP reached only 0.48 %. ECP encapsulation efficiency (66.7 %) was better than that of EP (42.6 %). High cohesiveness and intermediate fluidity were found in EP and intermediate cohesiveness and intermediate fluidity in ECP. According to results, collagen from this source proved to be a functional material for encapsulating β-carotene.

Inicialmente, EPC mostró una mayor tasa de retención (TR = 83.4 %) que EP (TR = 53.3 %), mientras que después del almacenamiento a 35 °C durante ocho semanas, la retención de β-caroteno en EPC fue de 0.84 %, mientras que en EP alcanzó solo 0.48 %. La eficiencia de encapsulación de EPC (66.7 %) fue mejor que la de EP (42.6 %). Se encontró alta cohesividad y fluidez intermedia en EP y cohesividad intermedia y fluidez intermedia en EPC. Según los resultados, el colágeno de esta fuente demostró ser un material funcional para encapsular el β-caroteno.

Abstract Continuous land cultivation has led to the application of fertilisers to maintain high crop yields. Favourable effects of different fertiliser sources for improved crop performance have been reported. However, there is scarce information on crop response to the residual effect of organomineral fertilisers (OMFs) applied to early sole and maize-soya bean intercropping. Consequently, the objective of this study was to evaluate the residual effect of N levels of organomineral and inorganic fertilisers applied to maize and soya bean in sole cropping and intercropping. The study was conducted in the years 2017 and 2018 in the Southern Guinea Savannah, Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria. Responses to the residual influence of early season cropping systems and applications of OMF and NPK 20-10-10 were evaluated in repeated field trials. The residual effects of a previously assessed 2 x 9 factorial arrangement, cropping system (sole and intercrop) and fertiliser applications (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg N/ha of OMF and 50, 100, 150, 200 kg N/ha of NPK fertiliser) were evaluated in a randomised complete block design with three replicates. Maize (ACR-95DT) and soya bean (TGX 1488-2E) were planted at densities of 40,000 and 74,000 plants/ha, respectively. Data were analysed using ANOVA at p<0.05. Maize and soya bean plant heights and N uptake significantly increased under the residual influence of sole cropping compared to intercropping in both years. Furthermore, maize-soya bean intercropping produced significantly lower grain yields than their sole crops in both years. The land equivalent ratio of the system was greater than one in both years. The residual effect of early season intercropping reduced subsequent yields of maize and soya bean, while OMF residual effects favoured sole maize, sole bean, and maize-bean intercrop performances at 100 kg N/ha.

Abstract The availability of forage decreases during the dry season, so it is advisable to conserve forage and preferably it should contain high nutritional value. The present study aimed to evaluate the nutritive value of silages in different proportions of soybean and buffel grass forage under subtropical conditions. The treatments were three forage combinations: S50B50 (50% soybean forage + 50% buffel grass forage), S25B75 (25% soybean forage + 75% buffel grass forage) and B100 (100% buffel grass forage ). The variables evaluated were: crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, ether extract, and metabolizable energy. Data were analyzed based on a completely randomized design with three repetitions and Tukey’s mean comparison ((= 0.05). The S50B50 treatment presented the highest values of CP (128 vs 65 g kg-1) and EE (28 vs 21 g kg-1), compared to B100, which had the highest values of neutral detergent fiber (692 vs 513 g kg-1) and acid detergent fiber (408 vs 355 g kg-1). S25B75 and B100 treatments presented similar ME values (p> 0.05), 1.43 and 1.54 Mcal kg-1, respectively, which were surpassed by S50B50 by 15% (1.71 Mcal kg-1). Soybean and buffel grass silage could be an alternative for ruminant feeding during the dry season; in particular, the combination of 50% soybean forage and 50% buffel grass obtains the best nutrient profile.

Resumen Durante la época seca se reduce la disponibilidad de forraje, por ello es conveniente conservar el forraje y de preferencia este debe contener alto valor nutritivo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el valor nutritivo de ensilados en diferentes proporciones de forraje de soya y pasto buffel en condiciones subtropicales. Los tratamientos fueron tres combinaciones de forraje: S50B50 (50% forraje de soya + 50% forraje de pasto buffel), S25B75 (25% forraje de soya + 75% forraje de pasto buffel) y B100 (100% forraje de pasto buffel). Las variables evaluadas fueron: proteína cruda (PC), fibra detergente neutro, fibra detergente ácido, extracto etéreo y energía metabolizable. Los datos se analizaron con base en un diseño completamente al azar con tres repeticiones y la comparación de medias de Tukey ((= 0.05). El tratamiento S50B50 presentó los mayores valores de PC (128 vs 65 g kg-1) y EE (28 vs 21 g kg-1) en comparación con B100, quien tuvo los mayores valores de fibra detergente neutro (692 vs 513 g kg-1) y fibra detergente ácido (408 vs 355 g kg-1). Los tratamientos S25B75 y B100 presentaron valores similares (p> 0.05) de EM, 1.43 y 1.54 Mcal kg-1, respectivamente; los cuales fueron superados por S50B50 en 15% (1.71 Mcal kg-1. El ensilado de soya y pasto buffel podría ser alternativa para la alimentación de rumiantes durante época de estiaje, en particular, la combinación de 50% forraje de soya y 50% pasto buffel se obtiene el mejor perfil nutrimental.

ABSTRACT The effect of three sources of lipids in the diet of fattening turkeys from the Hybrid Converter line on growth, carcass weight and blood metabolites were evaluated. A total of 90 43-day-old male turkeys were randomly distributed into 3 treatments, with 5 repetitions and 6 birds per group. The turkeys received isonutritional diets supplemented with Cajamarca Creole lard (MCCC), soybean oil (AS) or palm oil (AP). Turkeys aged 43 to 70 days with MCCC and AP had better body weight gain, lower feed consumption and better feed conversion (p<0.05) than those with the AS treatment; However, there were no differences between treatments during the finishing phase (71-98 days) nor in the total fattening period (43-98 days). The carcass weight in MCCC and AS was greater than in AP, in addition, they reduced (p<0.05) the relative weight of the liver and the percentage of abdominal fat compared to AP. Triglycerides and total cholesterol in blood were lower (p<0.05) in AS and MCCC than in AP, likewise, MCCC decreased (p<0.05) the malondialdehyde content in blood. It is concluded that MCCC in fattening turkeys from 43 to 98 days of age can replace AS and AP in the diet, since it does not generate negative effects or a decrease in the evaluated indicators.

RESUMEN Se evaluó el efecto de tres fuentes de lípidos en la dieta de pavos de engorde de la línea Hybrid Converter sobre el crecimiento, peso de carcasa y metabolitos sanguíneos. Un total de 90 pavos machos de 43 días de edad se distribuyeron aleatoriamente en 3 tratamientos con 5 repeticiones y 6 aves por grupo. Los pavos recibieron dietas isonutricionales suplementadas con manteca de cerdo criollo cajamarquino (MCCC), aceite de soya (AS) o aceite de palma (AP). Los pavos de 43 a 70 días con MCCC y AP tuvieron mejor ganancia de peso corporal, menor consumo de alimento y mejor conversión alimenticia (p<0.05) que los del tratamiento AS; sin embargo, no hubo diferencias entre tratamientos durante la fase de finalización (71-98 días) ni en el total periodo de engorde(43-98días). El peso de la carcasa en MCCC y AS fue mayor que en AP; además, redujeron (p<0.05) el peso relativo del hígado y el porcentaje de grasa abdominal en comparación con AP. Los triglicéridos y el colesterol total en sangre fueron menores (p<0.05) en AS y MCCC que en AP. Asimismo, el MCCC disminuyó (p<0.05) el contenido de malondialdehído en sangre. Se concluye que la MCCC en pavos de engorde de 43 a 98 días de edad puede reemplazar el AS yAP en la dieta, ya que no genera efectos negativos ni disminución de los indicadores evaluados.

Resumen Dismiccoccus brevipes (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) es una de las plagas de la piña de mayor importancia a nivel mundial, no solo por los daños directos que ocasiona, sino por ser trasmisor del virus marchitez roja de la piña. Los hongos entomopatógenos son una alternativa para el manejo de este insecto. En un experimento preliminar se evaluó la patogenicidad y la virulencia de dos aislamientos de Beauveria bassiana (BbCT, BbCa) y uno de Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma), sobre hembras adultas de D. brevipes. Posteriormente, los aislamientos más virulentos y una cepa comercial de Paecelomyces fumosoroceus (PAE-SIN), fueron evaluados en otro experimento en condiciones de invernadero, solos o en combinación con aceite de soya y aceite de neem. Los aislamientos evaluados presentaron diferente grado de virulencia; sin embargo, B. bassiana resultó ser el más virulento. El aislamiento BbCa a una concentración inicial de 1×107 conidios mL-1 fue más efectivo contra adultos de D. brevipes comparado con el control, causando mortalidad del 66% ± 6% a los 8 días pos inoculación a 26 ± 1°C. BbCa presentó la mayor virulencia con una CL50, de 3.45x107 conidios mL-1 y una CL95 de 2.29x108 conidios mL-1, bajo condiciones controladas. Sin embargo, la eficacia se incrementó para BbCa, cuando se combinó con aceite de neem, al causar el 100 % de mortalidad a los 6 días pos inoculación. En conclusión, la combinación B. bassiana (BbCa) y aceite de neem fue el mejor tratamiento, con una mortalidad de 100% de D. brevipes bajo las condiciones experimentales reportadas en este estudio.

Abstract Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is an important insect pest of pineapple worldwide due to the direct damage it causes and because it is a vector of mealybug pineapple wilt. Entomopathogenic fungi are an alternative management tool for this pest. A preliminary experiment evaluated the lethal effects of two isolates of Beauveria bassiana (BbCT, BbCa) and one isolate of Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma) against adult female D. brevipes. Subsequently, the efficacy of the most virulent isolates and a commercial strain of Paecilomyces fumosoroceus (PAE-SIN) were evaluated under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, either alone or in combination with soybean oil or neem oil. Results showed variation amongst isolates and that B. bassiana was the most effective. Isolate BbCa at 1×107 mL-1 conidia, was the most effective against D. brevipes nymphs and adults at 26 ± 1°C, causing 66% ± 6% mortality 8 days after inoculation. BbCa was the most virulent with an LC50 of 3.45x107 mL-1 conidia and a LC95 of 2.29x108 mL-1 conidia, under controlled conditions. Efficacy of BbCa increased when combined with neem oil, causing 100% mortality 6 days after inoculation. In conclusion, a combination of B. bassiana isolate BbCa and neem oil achieved 100% mortality in D. brevipes under the experimental conditions reported in this study.

Abstract Studies have shown that carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induces hepatic and renal damage arising from oxidative stress. The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of omega-3 fatty acids and/or soya isoflavones on CCl4 induced toxicity in male albino rat liver and kidney. For this purpose, 42 rats were divided as follows: group 1, rats serves as the control without any treatment; group 2, rats were administered a single dose of CCl4 intraperitoneally (1 mg/kg b. wt.); group 3, rats were supplemented daily with omega-300 orally (400 mg/kg b. wt.); group 4, rats were supplemented daily with pro-S orally (50 mg/kg b. wt.); group 5, rats were supplemented daily with omega-300 orally for four weeks, then after 24 hours treated with a single dose of CCl4 at the same tested doses. group 6, rats were supplemented daily with pro- S orally for four weeks, then after 24 hours treated with a single dose of CCl4 at the same tested doses; group 7, rats were supplemented daily with an oral combination of omega-300 and pro-S orally for four weeks, then after 24 hours treated with a single dose of CCl4 at the same tested doses. Results showed that CCl4 administration induces hepatic damage indicated by a significant increase in the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Aalanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzymes and glucose level, with a significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels and a significant decrease of reduced glutathione (GSH) level in liver tissue. Also, CCl4 toxicity induce renal damage manifested in a significant increase in serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, and oxidative stress of kidney tissue reflected by increase of MDA, NO and the decrease of GSH levels. The pre-treatment with omega-3 fatty acids and/or soya isoflavones revealed ameliorative effect against deleterious effects of CCl4 toxicity on hepatic and renal tissues and all tested parameters. Results of the current study revealed also that the pre-treatment with omega-3 fatty acids and/or soya isoflavones to rats improved liver and kidney function and produced high antioxidant activity.

Resumo Estudos demonstram que o tetracloreto de carbono (CCl4) induz danos hepáticos e renais decorrentes do estresse oxidativo. O presente estudo almejou examinar o efeito de ácidos graxos ômega-3 e/ou isoflavonas de soja na toxicidade induzida por CCl4 no fígado e no rim de ratos albinos machos. Para tanto, 42 ratos foram divididos da seguinte forma: grupo 1, indivíduos que servem como controle sem nenhum tratamento; grupo 2, indivíduos que receberam uma dose única de CCl4 intraperitonealmente (1 ml/kg do peso corporal); grupo 3, indivíduos que foram suplementados diariamente com ômega-300 por via oral (400 mg/kg do peso corporal); grupo 4, indivíduos que foram foram suplementados diariamente com pró-S por via oral (50 mg/kg do peso corporal); grupo 5, indivíduos que foram suplementados diariamente com ômega-300 por via oral por quatro semanas, depois de tratados por 24 horas com uma dose única de CCl4 nas mesmas doses testadas; grupo 6, os indivíduos foram suplementados diariamente com pro-S por via oral por quatro semanas, depois de tratados por 24 horas com uma dose única de CCl4 com as mesmas doses testadas; grupo 7, os indivíduos foram suplementados diariamente com uma combinação oral de ômega-300 e pró-S por via oral por quatro semanas, depois de tratados por 24 horas com uma dose única de CCl4 com as mesmas doses testadas. Os resultados mostraram que a administração de CCl4 induz dano hepático, indicado por um aumento significativo nas atividades das enzimas fosfatase alcalina (ALP), aspartato aminotransferase (AST) e Alanina aminotransferase (ALT) e nível de glicose, com aumento significativo de malondialdeído (MDA) e nítrico, e dos níveis de óxido (NO), além da diminuição significativa do nível de glutationa reduzida (GSH) no tecido hepático. Além disso, a toxicidade do CCl4 induz dano renal manifestado em um aumento significativo da ureia sérica, creatinina, ácido úrico e estresse oxidativo do tecido renal, refletindo no aumento de MDA, NO e diminuição dos níveis de GSH. O pré-tratamento com ácidos graxos como ômega-3 e/ou isoflavonas de soja revelou efeito melhorador contra os efeitos deletérios da toxicidade do CCl4 nos tecidos hepático e renal e em todos os parâmetros testados. Os resultados do presente estudo demonstraram também que o pré-tratamento com ácidos graxos ômega-3 e/ou isoflavonas de soja em ratos melhorou a função hepática e renal e produziu alta atividade antioxidante.

El artículo se divide en cuatro partes: en la primera, un análisis para entender cómo ocurre la estructuración de las regiones en el proceso de expansión de las fronteras agrícolas, a través de las acciones del Estado brasileño y de las justificaciones utilizadas para la creación de AMACRO; en la segunda, el proceso de la frontera agrícola hacia la Amazonia; en la tercera, la situación actual del AMACRO, en lo que se refiere al crecimiento de los conflictos, el avance de la deforestación, la intensificación de la ganadería y la llegada de la soja; y en la cuarta, reflexionaremos sobre los impactos causados, especialmente en el ámbito ambiental, por la expansión de la frontera, que no es solamente agrícola, sino que también se caracteriza por ser una frontera tóxica. 2019 acrónimo Amazonas Rondônia, Rondônia , Rondônia) forma Bolsonaro amazónica locales partes agrícolas segunda Amazonia tercera deforestación soja cuarta causados ambiental tóxica 201 20 2

Abstract In 2019, EMBRAPA organized the first meeting to define the creation proposal for AMACRO (an acronym for Amazonas, Acre and Rondônia), a regional model for attracting development focused on Brazilian agribusiness production. The article aims to understand how the discourse and the attempt to create AMACRO, in a context legitimized by the then Brazilian government of Jair Bolsonaro, triggered processes of destruction in the Amazon rainforest, unleashing conflicts with local populations, as well as understanding how agribusiness acts strategically in creating regions favorable to its enterprises and its ideologies in agricultural frontier areas. The article is divided into four parts: first, an analysis to understand how the structuring of regions occurs in the process of expanding agricultural frontiers, through the actions of the Brazilian state and the justifications used for the creation of AMACRO; secondly, the process of the agricultural frontier towards the Amazon; third, the current situation of AMACRO, with regard to the growth of conflicts, the advance of deforestation, the intensification of cattle ranching and the arrival of soya; and for the last part, we will reflect on the impacts caused, specially in the environmental sphere, by the expansion of the frontier, which is not only agricultural, but is also characterized as a toxic frontier. 2019 Amazonas Rondônia, Rondônia , Rondônia) production Bolsonaro rainforest populations areas parts frontiers secondly third deforestation soya part caused sphere 201 20 2
