No. of bitstreams: 1 MATEUS_LUZ_LEVANDOWSKI_DIS.pdf: 8338894 bytes, checksum: 3552e80d2ab07794efd004f518518133 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-01-12 / We aimed this thesis to explore biological mechanisms of childhood maltreatment exposure in two articles. The first article is an extensive meta-analysis assessing basal and dynamic levels of cortisol in children and adults who have experienced early life stress. We found that children during early childhood exhibit lower basal cortisol levels and lower activation of the HPA axis during stress exposure. Also, we found a biological ecophenotype within individuals with mental disorder and history of childhood maltreatment. In the second article we evaluated children and adolescents in a longitudinal study to assess the impact of early life stress on biomarkers of cell aging. We found that children exposed to maltreatment presented a greater number of behavioral problems, a higher rate of psychiatric diagnosis and accelerated cellular aging compared to children without traumatic exposure. Accelerated cell aging was identified through Telomere Length, Mitochondrial DNA copy number and ND4, being the first study with children to report these variables in association with traumatic experiences. / Esse trabalho buscou compreender mecanismos biol?gicos da exposi??o aos maus-tratos na inf?ncia em dois artigos. O primeiro artigo ? uma extensa meta-an?lise avaliando n?veis basais e din?micos de cortisol em crian?as e adultos que passaram por estresse precoce. Evidenciou-se que crian?as durante a primeira inf?ncia exibem n?veis basais de cortisol mais baixos e menor ativa??o do eixo HPA durante exposi??o ao estresse. Tamb?m foi verificado que indiv?duos que compartilham o mesmo diagn?stico apresentaram diferentes n?veis de cortisol se tiverem ou n?o sido expostos a maus-tratos durante a inf?ncia, revelando um ecofen?tipo biol?gico nestes indiv?duos. No segundo artigo foram avaliadas crian?as e adolescentes em um estudo longitudinal para avaliar o impacto do estresse precoce em marcadores de envelhecimento celular. Foi encontrado que crian?as expostas a maus-tratos apresentam maior n?mero de problemas comportamentais, maior taxa de diagn?stico psiqui?trico e envelhecimento celular acelerado em compara??o com crian?as sem exposi??o traum?tica. O envelhecimento celular acelerado foi identificado atrav?s de importantes biomarcadores de envelhecimento, tais como comprimento de tel?mero, n?mero de c?pias de DNA mitocondrial e ND4, sendo o primeiro estudo com crian?as a relacionar estas vari?veis com a exposi??o traum?tica.
