In recent years, the determination of the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of essential oils in wild plants, such as Mexican oregano (Lippia graveolens Kunth), has become increasingly important. The objective was to compare the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Mexican oregano essential oil obtained from plants occurring naturally in semiarid areas (Wild1 and Wild2), and those cultivated in the field (CField) and greenhouse (CGreenhouse) in northern Mexico. The Mexican oregano essential oil extraction was performed using the hydrodistillation method, the antioxidant activity was determined using the ABTS method, and the antibacterial activity was assessed through bioassays under the microwell method at nine different concentrations. The aim was to determine the diameter of the inhibition zone and, consequently, understand the sensitivity level for four bacterial species. The results revealed an antioxidant activity ranging from 90% to 94% at the sampling sites, with Wild1 standing out for having the highest average antioxidant activity values. Likewise, six out of the nine concentrations analyzed showed some degree of sensitivity for all the sampling sites. In this regard, the 25 µL mL−1 concentration showed the highest diameter of inhibition zone values, highlighting the Wild2 site, which showed an average diameter greater than 30 mm for the four bacteria tested. Only in the case of S. typhi did the CGreenhouse site surpass the Wild2, with an average diameter of the inhibition zone of 36.7 mm. These findings contribute to the search for new antioxidant and antibacterial options, addressing the challenges that humanity faces in the quest for opportunities to increase life expectancy.

El estudio se centró en el análisis del estado nutricional, somatotipo, de practicantes de BrazilianJiuJitsu en Durango, Dgo. El estado nutricional afecta íntimamente la morfo funcionalidad de todo tipo de deportes, en el caso del JiuJitsu se puede apreciar que la influencia de la dieta afecta directamente a estos deportistas, tanto positiva como negativamente. 11 medallistas nacionales entre 16 y 27 años de edad, para determinar el somatotipoHeath-Carter, y una historia clínica nutricional ajustada a deportistas por ABCD. Se aplicaron las estadísticas de normalidad de Shapiro-Wilk a muestras pequeñas y correlación estadística. Se encontraron correlaciones entre los compartimentos corporales y el consumo de macronutrientes, sin embargo, el somatotipoEndomórfico predominó más de lo esperado en esta población. El somatotipo apareció íntimamente influenciado con el consumo nutricional desencadenando una morfología específica a pesar de la esperada para un deporte.
