MUCUNA PRURIENS SUPPLEMENTATION ASSOCIATED WITH RESISTANCE TRAINING DOES NOT CHANGE FOOD INTAKE, BODY WEIGHT AND MURINOMETRIC VALUES IN TRAINED ANIMALS

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Mucuna pruriens (mp) has been marketed as a supplement for weight loss even without scientific proof. this study aims to evaluate the effect of mp supplementation associated with resistance training on murinometric parameters and food consumption in rats. animals were randomized into sedentary and control groups, supplemented with mp or not. trained animals performed the jump protocol and received the mp supplementation (250 mg/kg/day) by gavage. food consumption and body weight were assessed weekly and murinometric parameters, at the end of the protocol. there were no changes in food intake (147 - 180 g), weight (341 - 368 g), length (24.6 - 25.5 cm), chest (14.1 - 16.2 cm) and abdominal circumferences (14.5 - 15.8 cm), body mass index (0.53 - 0.56 g/cm2) and lee index (4.5 - 4.8 g/cm3). mp supplementation during exercise does not alter food intake, weight and murinometric measurements in rats.
