Abstract
The ability of foods to aid in the prevention of chronic metabolic diseases, has recently become an area
of increased interest. In addition, there is growing interest in exploring the benefits of consuming underutilized
fruits as alternatives to commercially available fruits. Eugenia uvalha Cambess (uvaia) is a native fruit of Brazil
with great market and phytotherapy potential. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of
uvaia juice (UJ) on the levels of protein carbonyls (PCO) and antioxidant enzymes in the livers of rats fed a highfat
diet.
