Hypertrophy and ER Stress Induced by Palmitate Are Counteracted by Mango Peel and Seed Extracts in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
2023
A diet rich in saturated fatty acids (FAs) has been correlated with metabolic dysfunction and ROS increase in the adipose tissue of obese subjects. Thus, reducing hypertrophy and oxidative stress in adipose tissue can represent a strategy to counteract obesity and obesity-related diseases. In this context, the present study showed how the peel and seed extracts of mango (Mangifera indica L.) reduced lipotoxicity induced by high doses of sodium palmitate (PA) in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Mango peel (MPE) and mango seed (MSE) extracts significantly lowered PA-induced fat accumulation by reducing lipid droplet (LDs) and triacylglycerol (TAGs) content in adipocytes. We showed that MPE a…
La identidad en juego: un acercamiento autoficcional a La casa en Mango Street
2020
Este artículo explica la construcción autoficcional de La casa en Mango Street, obra de la chicana Sandra Cisneros. Parte de la base teórica que considera la autoficción como un género no subordinado a otros, siguiendo la posición de Vera Toro, y elabora un estudio de las claves poéticas de la obra, así como de las condiciones sociohistóricas en que ha sido escrita. Analiza también cómo es el espacio el elemento narrativo fundamental que permite establecer una relación entre la creación literaria, la creación de identidad del pueblo chicano y la de la mujer-narradora de la obra. En este estudio no perdemos tampoco de vista el fuerte carácter crítico del texto: por un lado, observaremos la i…

Antioxidant phenolic compounds recovery from Mangifera indica L. by-products by supercritical antisolvent extraction
2015
Abstract Supercritical Antisolvent Extraction (SAE) was used in the recovery of antioxidant compounds from mango by-products. The antioxidant extract was obtained by solid–liquid extraction using aqueous acetone (80% v/v) and subsequent adsorption/desorption in C18 cartridge. Recovery of antioxidants was performed by SAE using SC-CO 2 as antisolvent. The temperature and pressure parameters were varied in the range 35–45 °C and 8–15 MPa. The SAE process allowed the recovery of about 90% of the initial phenolic compounds, the best recovery was obtained at 40 °C and 10 MPa and the main compounds were mangiferin, isomangiferin, quercetin 3-O-galactoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-x…
Elementi di un modellino architettonico in pietra dal Santuario di Contrada Mango a Segesta
2022
Nel 1957, in occasione di una campagna di scavo in Contrada Mango di Segesta, Vincenzo Tusa rinvenne due frammenti litici di membrature architettoniche miniaturistiche, appartenenti ad un fregio dorico e ad una cornice, parimenti dorica. In questa sede, oltre a proporre un’analisi dettagliata dei due frammenti, si cercherà di avanzare alcune ipotesi sul contesto della loro realizzazione, sulla loro funzione e sull’eventuale monumento di riferimento, con una rapida disamina della problematica legata ai paradeigmata architettonici nell’antichità. In 1957, during an excavation campaign in Contrada Mango of Segesta, Vincenzo Tusa found two lithic fragments of miniaturistic architectural element…
Segesta, Santuario di Contrada Mango. Materiali e contesti degli scavi Tusa
2023
The volume is the edition of the old excavations carried out in Segesta, at the Sanctuary of Contrada Mango, between the 1950s and the 1960s of the twentieth century. The sanctuary is located on the south-eastern slopes of Mount Barbaro. It has returned a monumental peribolos and the remains of a peripteral temple. The sacred area documents phenomena of cultural interaction between the Elymian center and the Hellenic environment (Selinuntine first of all) in the Archaic and Classical Ages. It is an intense and multiform relationship, now made tangible not only by the monumental sacred architecture but also by the architectural ornamentations, the statuary in Parian marble, the imported cera…
Spazio alle nuove specie: actinidia, piccoli frutti, tropicali
2018
Dopo il grande successo dell’actinidia sono stati tanti i tentativi di portare in Italia nuove specie da frutto per diversicare il panorama produttivo di aree in crisi strutturale e commerciale con le colture più tradizionali. Il Centro-Nord ha puntato sui piccoli frutti, ora il Sud punta alle specie sub-tropicali. Il mercato ha voglia di novità, ma non tutto si presta ad una diffusione su larga scala.
