Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to observe an attenuation of the inflammatory process obtained in PCR analyzes using the Turbidimetry method and Interleukins (IL-8, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF alpha) using the ELISA method within a period of 6 months, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to observe an attenuation of oxidative stress with an increase in antioxidant defenses Glutathione and antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, analyzed by the methods of Akerboom and Sies (1981), RANSOD kit - RANDOX Brasil LTDA, method of Aebi (1984) and RANSEL kit - RANDOX Brasil LTDA, respectively, and, with a decrease in the oxidative damage marker Malondialdehyde, analyzed using the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances method (TBARS), over a period of 6 months, based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements | — |
