Brazilian berry is a fruit popularly known as “Jaboticaba,” rich in bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. Senescence and overweight are increasing worldwide and are considered risk factors to prostatic pathogenesis mainly due to oxidative and inflammatory processes induction. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of two increasing doses of the patented jaboticaba peel extract (PJE) on oxidative‐stress and inflammation in the prostate of aging or high‐fat‐fed aging mice.

PJE and/or high‐fat diet (HFD) treatments started with 11‐month‐old mice and lasted 60 days. The levels or the immunoexpression of different inflammatory (nuclear factor κB [NFκB], CD3+, cyclooxygenase 2 [COX‐2], toll‐like receptor 4 [TLR4], phosphorylated signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 [pSTAT‐3], tumor necrosis factor α [TNF‐α], interleukin 6 [IL‐6], and IL‐1β …
