Avaliação ultra-estrutural do endotélio corneal de ratos normais e de diabéticos aloxânicos /

Martins, Luís Carlos January 2002 (has links)
Orientador: Silvana Artioli Schellini / Resumo: O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a influência do diabetes experimental sobre a ultra-estrutura do endotélio corneal de ratos. O estudo foi prospectivo, utilizando 20 ratos da raça Wistar, com 3 meses de idade, divididos em: grupo controle (GC), contendo 10 ratos, e grupo diabético (GD), contendo 10 ratos. A indução do diabetes foi feita com injeção de Aloxana endovenosa 42 mg/kg de peso (M0), após o que os animais foram observados por 15 dias para confirmar a presença de diabetes grave (M1). Um mês após M1 (M2) e 12 meses após M1 (M3) os animais foram sacrificados, sendo removidos e preparados os olhos para avaliação à microscopia eletrônica de transmissão. Os animais do GD mostraram importante redução de peso, aumento da injestão hídrica e aumento da diurese em relação aos ratos do GC. Na avaliação morfológica observou-se nos animais do GC corpos densos e figuras de Mielina no M3. Os ratos do GD apresentaram as mesmas alterações encontradas no GC em M3, em maior intensidade, com alterações nucleares e citoplasmáticas, como mitocôndrias bastante alteradas na forma e tamanho, rarefação do citoplasma e aumento de vesículas. Os ratos do GD em M3 apresentaram mais alterações que os do GDM2. Conclui-se que o diabetes experimental causa dano ultra-estrutural no endotélio corneal de ratos e que as alterações são evolutivas. / Abstract: The objective of study was to make na assessment of experimental diabetes influence on of rats corneal endothelium ultra-structure. The study was prospective, using 20 Wistar 3-month-old rats, divided (by draw) into groups: control group (GC), with 10 rats, and diabetic group (GD), with 10 rats. The diabetes induction was made by means of intravenous injection of Aloxan 42 mg/Kg weigth. After the diabetes induction (M1), the animals had been observed for 15 days, and then, 1 month after M1 (M2) and 12 months after M1 (M3) to confirm the diagnosis of severe diabetes. At experimental moments M2 and M3, the animals eyes enucleation and preparation were carried out for assessment trough transmission eletronic microscopy. GD animals had shown significant reduction of weigth, increasing of hydric and nourishing injection and increasing of diuresis in relation to GC rats. In the morphological assessment, dense bodies and Myelin figures were observed in M3 GC animals. GC rats had presented the same alterations found in GC animals in M3, in major intensity, beyond mitochondrias rather modified in their form and size, cytoplasm rarefaction, vesicles increasing and nuclear alterations. It is concluded that experimental diabets causes ultra-structural of rats corneal endothelium. / Mestre

Estudo Comparativo da Atividade Vasodilatadora de Diferentes FraÃÃes Obtidas de um Extrato Aquoso da Planta Alpinia zerumbet na Aorta Isolada de Rato

Antonio Jorge de Vasconcelos Forte 09 September 2009 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel Superior / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Estudos recentes, realizados no LFE da UFC, mostraram que o extrato aquoso da planta Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) Burtt. et Smith (EaAz), conhecida popularmente como colÃnia, causa atividade vasodilatadora na aorta torÃcica isolada de rato. Objetivando encontrar o principio ativo desta planta, o EaAz foi fracionado com diferentes solventes e a atividade vasodilatadora das fraÃÃes foi avaliada em anÃis da aorta torÃcica isolada de rato. AlÃm disso, o mecanismo de aÃÃo da fraÃÃo acetato de etila obtida a partir do EaAz foi caracterizado. Ratos machos Wistar (250 a 300 g), oriundos do biotÃrio da UFC, foram sacrificados por deslocamento cervical e a aorta torÃcica removida e dissecada. Montaram-se os anÃis da aorta (4 a 5 mm) em cÃmeras orgÃnicas, contendo soluÃÃo de Krebs, aeradas com carbogÃnio e mantidas a 37ÂC, para a medida de variaÃÃes na tensÃo isomÃtrica. A integridade do endotÃlio foi avaliada utilizando-se a acetilcolina (ACh; 10-5 M) e, posteriormente, o EaAz e as fraÃÃes obtidas do EaAz, hexÃnica (FHxAz), acetato de etila (FAmAz), diclorometano (FDmAz) (0,15; 0,5; 1,5; 5; 15 e 50 g/mL) foram testados em preparaÃÃes contraÃdas com fenilefrina (Phe; 10-8 â 3x10-8 M). A fraÃÃo FAmAz, ACh e nitroprussiato de sÃdio foram testados em preparaÃÃes desprovidas de endotÃlio e tratadas com L-NAME (100 M), caribdotoxina (CTX; 100nM) mais apamina (100 nM), ODQ (30 M), catalase (500 U/mL), superÃxido dismutase (SOD; 500 U/mL) e PEG-catalase (500 U/mL). O EaAz e as fraÃÃes FHxAz e FAmAz foram capazes de relaxar, significativamente, a aorta torÃcica isolada de rato, apresentando os respectivos EC50 19,73, 11,15 e 9,08 (n = 5, 5 e 7, respectivamente, para cada grupo). Contudo, a fraÃÃo FDmAz nÃo apresentou atividade vasodilatadora. Depois, caracterizou-se a resposta vasodilatadora da fraÃÃo FamAz, resposta essa que foi abolida em preparaÃÃes desprovidas de endotÃlio e tratadas com L-NAME (n = 5), ODQ (n = 6) e PEG-Catalase (n = 2). Contudo, o efeito vasodilatador da fraÃÃo FAmAz permaneceu inalterado apÃs tratamento com CTX mais apamina, catalase e SOD na aorta torÃcica de rato (n = 5, 6 e 6, respectivamente, para cada grupo). Segundo nossos resultados, as fraÃÃes FAmAz e FHxAz apresentaram uma maior potÃncia na sua atividade vasodilatadora comparada ao EaAz. Este dado sugere que estas fraÃÃes, possivelmente, contÃm os princÃpios ativos responsÃveis pela atividade vasodilatadora do EaAZ. AlÃm disso, concluiu-se que a atividade vasodilatadora produzida pela FAmAz na aorta torÃcica de rato à dependente do endotÃlio e via NO-GMPc, talvez contando com a participaÃÃo das espÃcies reativas do oxigÃnio ao nÃvel intracelular / Recent studies conducted at the LFE showed that the aqueous extract from Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) Burtt. et Smith (EaAz), popularly known as ColÃnia, causes vasodilation on isolated rat aortic rings. In order to find the active compound, the EaAz was diluted with different solvents and the vasodilator effect from the different fractions was analyzed on isolated rings of rat aorta. Additionally, the mechanism of action of the ethyl acetate fraction obtained from EaAz was characterized. Male rats Wistar (250 to 300g), provided by the vivarium of UFC, were terminated by cervical dislocation and the thoracic aorta was removed and dissected. The aortic rings (4 to 5 mm) were placed in chambers, which contained Krebs solution and carbogen and were kept at 37o C, in order to measure isometric tension variation. The endothelium integrity was assessed with acetylcholine (ACh; 10-5 M). Afterwards, the EaAz and the other fractions obtained from EaAz, hexane (FHxAz), ethyl acetate (FAmAz), dichloromethane (FDmAz) (0,15; 0,5; 1,5; 5; 15 and 50 g/mL) were tested in preparations that contained phenylephrine (Phe; 10-8 â 3x10-8 M). The FAmAz fraction, ACh and sodium nitroprussiate (SNP; 10-8 M) were tested in preparations without endothelium and treated with L-NAME (100 M), charybdotoxin (CTX; 100nM) plus apamine (100 nM), ODQ (30 M), catalase (500 U/mL), superoxide dismutase (SOD; 500 U/mL) and PEG-catalase (500 U/mL). The EaAz and the FHxAz and FAmAz fractions were able to relax significantly the isolated rat aortic rings, and EC50 was respectively 19,73, 11,15 and 9,08 (n = 5, 5 and 7, respectively, for each group). However, the FDmAz fraction did not present vasodilator activity. The vasodilatory effect of the FAmAz fraction was characterized. The vasodilator activity of the FAmAz fraction was impaired in preparation without endothelium and previously treated with L-NAME (n = 5), ODQ (n = 6) and PEG-Catalase (n = 2). However, the vasodilator activity of the FAmAz fraction remained unchanged after treatment with CTX plus apamin, catalase and SOD on the isolated rat aortic rings (n = 5, 6 and 6, respectively, for each group). The FAmAz and FHxAz fractions presented higher potency in their activity when compared to EaAz. This phenomenon suggests that these fractions possibly contain the active compound responsible for the EaAZ vasodilator effect. In addition, it was concluded that the vasodilator effect caused by the FAmAz fraction on the isolated rat aortic ring is endothelium-dependent and via NO-cGMP. We also believe that the intracellular reactive oxygen species play an important role on the vasodilator mechanism
