Deste modo, investigamos as alterações desenvolvidas pelo tratamento com dexametasona (Dex) em animais submetidos à restrição protéica. Foram analisados: parâmetros metabólicos, secreção de insulina em resp osta a glicose e proteínas envolvidas na via de sinalização da insulina em ilhotas pancreáticas isoladas. Ratos submetidos à dieta hipoprotéica (LP) apresentaram características padrões que caracterizam a desnutrição como: diminuição de ganho de massa corp oral, redução dos níveis séricos de albumina, proteína total e insulina. Adicionalmente, os ratos LP exibiram aumento da sensibilidade periférica à insulina e redução da área das ilhotas pancreáticas comparadas ao grupo controle ( P < 0,05). Todos estes parâmetros apresentaram valores similares ao grupo controle nos ratos submetidos à dieta hipoprotéica e submetidos ao tratamento com Dex (LPD), exceto para o peso corpóreo ( P < 0,05). A secreção de insulina em ilhotas pancreáticas isoladas de ratos LPD aprese ntou maior responsividade à glicose, em níveis estimulatórios, comparados a secreção em ilhotas de ratos LP (P < 0,05). Paralelo aos resultados de secreção, os ratos LPD exibiram redução do conteúdo protéico de IRS-1, IRS-2 e aumento dos níveis protéicos d e p-FoxO1, p-ERK e PKC comparados ao grupo LP (P < 0,05). Concomitantemente, as ilhotas dos ratos LPD mostraram ¿se hipertrofiadas comparadas com ilhotas de ratos LP ( P < 0,05). Em conclusão, o tratamento com dexametasona reverte, ao menos parcialmente, os efeitos no metabolismo analisados e no funcionamento das ilhotas pancreáticas causados pela restrição protéica, confirmando a grande plasticidade das células ß frente a condições adversas facultativas e/ou permanentes / Abstract: Malnutrition caused by protein restriction and dexamethasone -induced insulin resistance, in vivo treatment (Dex) are conditions associated with morphological and functional alterations in pancreatic islets. Thus, the present study evaluated the dexamethasone treatment effects on the metabolic parameters, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and proteins involved in the insulin - signalling pathway over low protein diet fed rats (LP). LP rats showed decrease in body weight, serum insulin, total serum protein, and serum albumin, patte rns that characterize the LP rats. Moreover, LP rats presented improved peripheral insulin sensibility and reduced islets area (P < 0,05). Except for the body weight (P < 0,05), all these parameters were proned to be normalized in rats exposed to a low protein diet and treated with dexamethasone (LPD), whose islets showed increased glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In addition, LPD rats showed lower protein expression of IRS-1, IRS-2 and higher in p-FoxO1, p-ERK and PKC, while presenting pancreatic islet hypertrophy compared to LP rats islet. In conclusion, dexamethasone treatment revert the effects related to metabolism and islet function caused by diet protein restriction, confirming ß-cells wide plasticity, even in transient or lasting adverse conditions / Doutorado / Fisiologia / Doutor em Biologia Funcional e Molecular
