Abstract

Roasted Cañihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule Aellen) flour (Chenopodium pallidicaule Aellen), a.k.a. cañihuaco, is popularly used as an alternative treatment for hypercholesterolemia. In the present study, 22 weaned male albino Sprague Dawley rats, 21 days old coming from CENAN were distributed randomly in four groups and evaluated during 60 days. Rats from group (a) consumed control diet with casein, group (b) consumed control diet with casein for 30 days followed by cañihuaco diet for another 30 days. On group (c) they consumed a hyper greasy diet with palm butter for 30 days and control diet with casein for an extra 30 days and group (d) consumed hyper greasy diet for 30 days followed by cañihuaco diet for another 30 days. At the beginning of the experiment, basal analysis was taken to check total cholesterol and fractionated LDL-C, HDL-C, VLDL-C and triglycerides, repeating the same tests after 30 and 60 days. From the results we can conclude that cañihuaco consumption on the diet of rats receiving the hyper greasy die has the probability of increasing HDL-C levels up to five times compared to the casein diet. Also, the increase of HDL-C levels on rats under the cañihuaco diet was evident.

En el presente estudio se evaluaron durante 60 días 22 ratas albinas macho cepa Sprague dawley de 21 días de nacidas, destetadas, procedentes del CENAN (Centro Experimental Nacional en Alimentación y Nutrición), las cuales fueron distribuidas al azar en cuatro grupos. (a) Consumieron dieta control con casína, (b) Consumieron dieta control con caseína por 30 días y con dieta cañihuaco por otros 30 días, (c) Consumieron dieta hipergrasa con manteca de palma por 30 días y dieta control con caseína por 30 días más, (d) Consumieron dieta hipergrasa por 30 días y dieta cañihuaco por otros 30 días más. Al inicio se les tomó análisis basal de colesterol total y fraccionado LDL-C, HDL-C, VLDL-C y triglicíridos, repitiéndose a los 30 días y a los 60 días. Concluyéndose que el consumo de dieta cañihuaco en ratas que recibieron dieta hipergrasa tienen una probabilidad de que se incremente los niveles de HDL-C con el consumo de dieta cañihuaco de cinco veces mayor que si se consume dieta caseína. Asimismo, fue evidente el incremento de HDL-C en las ratas que consumieron dieta a base de cañihuaco.
