| الوصف: | This study aimed to characterize two Peruvian cocoa populations (CCN51 and JL2) and determine their influence on rat metabolism. For this, the phytochemical composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of CCN51 and JL2 were established. Furthermore, Wistar rats were fed with either CCN51-, JL2-enriched or standard diets for 4 weeks. At the end, an oral glucose tolerance test was carried out. Moreover, visceral adiposity index and fecal pH were measured. The JL2 cocoa showed the highest content of total polyphenols, catechin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate as well as the highest in vitro antioxidant activity. No significant differences were observed in glycemia among the three experimental groups, but both cocoa-fed groups showed lower visceral adiposity than the standard diet-fed animals. Lower fecal pH was observed after both cocoa diets. In conclusion, two Peruvian cocoa populations with different polyphenol compositions induced similar effects on rat metabolism when administered as 10% of the diet for 4 weeks. |
