Nutrição e câncer: a dieta na contribuição do surgimento do câncer colorretal e quiz como proposta para o ensino do ciclo celular

Abstract

Diet may be directly related to the incidence of colorectal cancer. The ingestion and interaction of some substances found in food have a relevant contribution to cellular processes. Formation of chemical compounds during the process and cooking of red meat trigger carcinogenic processes Contents related to the cell cycle, such as cancer and its evolution, must be addressed through good teaching practices. The objective of this study is to describe and understand evidence from studies on the subject, investigating the relationship between the consumption of red meat and processed meats for the contribution of colorectal cancer, which cellular processes are involved in the incidence of cancer, and to propose an activity (quiz) to relate the cell cycle and interaction with cancer. A systematic review was carried out, locating the main works on the subject and the didactic proposal (Quiz) for Biology classes. Among the factors present in red and processed meat, most epidemiological and experimental evidence supports an important role for heme iron, N-nitroso compounds, heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It was found that a diet based on cooking red meats and processed meats can have an equivalent influence on the emergence of colorectal cancer. The use of games in Biology teaching accompanies playfulness and facilitates learning.
