Abstract
CONTEXT: Skeels (Myrtaceae) exhibits many biological activities. OBJECTIVE: in rats fed with a high fat-fructose diet (HFFD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: . RESULTS: of 392.00 µg/mL, and decreased lipid absorption by 70%. Additionally, it reduced the body weight 22%, restored the activities of antioxidant enzymes, and reduced the biomarkers of oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS: showed an effect against oxidative stress by reducing biomarkers and induced antioxidant system, without toxic effects.
