ABSTRACT The fruits of the "algarrobo" contain phenolic compounds (PC) to which important nutraceutical properties are attributed. The objective was to characterize the phenolic compound with greater abundance and to determine the antioxidant activity (AA) in five extracts (45%, 70%, 96% ethanol, infusion and decoction) of fruits of Prosopis pallida (Humb. & Bonpl. Ex Willd.) Kunth of the regions of Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque and La Libertad. The PC were quantified by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the AA was evaluated by the DPPH, FRAP and ABTS methods. The best extract with PC was ethanol 96% of the fruits of Piura with 58.03±2.50 mg Gallic acid equivalents/g (GAE/g). The AA fluctuated between 5.27±0.30-2.12±0.08, 8.46±0.45-5.32±0.34 and 17.63±0.53-11.16±0.29 mg of Trolox equivalents/g, for DPPH, FRAP and ABTS, respectively in the unpurified samples. While, among the purified ext...

ABSTRACT In the present survey are had using 40 hypertensive patients agreements with enalapril in the hospital IV Víctor lazarte Echegaray during the period February - June 2007, to determine if there is variation significant in the values of blood pressure with the administration of enalapril during his monitoring, which is why a descriptive design was employed, carrying out the domiciliary tracking and in the clinic external of the patients that complied with inclusion and exclusion criteria, taking measures of the values of blood pressure, heart rate, weight, size and that received processing with enalapril 10 mg, dispensed in the drugstore of the hospital. Obtained results show 57.5% and 42.5% of controlled patients and not controlled respectively in the systolic arterial pressure; likewise 95% and 5% of controlled patients and not controlled respectively for the diastolic arterial...
