Obesity is a disease associated with increased oxidative stress in humans and animals, consumption of antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols can minimise it. These are abundant malícia (Mimosa quadrivalvis L.) honey produced by stingless bees. This study aimed to evaluate whether administration Mimosa L. obese rats could reduce vital organs through phenolic compound action. Wistar (228 ± 14.69 g) were randomly divided into two groups: healthy group (HG, n = 20) fed control diet an (OG, cafeteria for the initial 8 weeks. After this period, these groups again randomised four subgroups: 10), (1,000 mg/kg; HGH, OGH, 10) final weeks previously mentioned diets. The euthanised at end experiment collect brain, gut, kidney, liver tissues parameters related profile. reduced energy intake weight gain OGH comparison OG. Total capacity liver, gut both treated compared respective controls. Lipid peroxidation decreased kidney OGH. Both showed elevated deposition, including catechin, procyanidins, flavonoids, across all organs. Specifically, brain greater procyanidin B2 gallic acid deposition; B1 B2, epicatechin, myricetin concentrations; higher kaempferol 3-glucoside kidneys had deposition Histologically, displayed neuronal damage prevention hepatic steatosis induced diet. Malícia effectively via modulation diet-induced rats.
