Title in Portuguese
Participação da corticosterona na inflamação aguda pulmonar de ratos com baixo peso ao nascer.
Keywords in Portuguese
Baixo peso ao nascer
Corticosterona
Desnutrição
Inflamação
Lesão pulmonar aguda
Abstract in Portuguese
A desnutrição no período gestacional pode comprometer o desenvolvimento fetal e a maturação do sistema imune. Ratos Wistar de 12 semanas com baixo peso ao nascer, oriundos de mães desnutridas durante a gestação, apresentam resposta inflamatória pulmonar reduzida, e concentração de corticosterona circulante elevada. Este modelo foi submetido a adrenalectomia e reposição de corticosterona em doses fisiológicas, e em seguida, induziu-se lesão pulmonar aguda com LPS. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a redução de corticosterona aumentou o infiltrado de neutrófilos e de mediadores inflamatórios no pulmão de animais com baixo peso ao nascer. Quanto a regulação da corticosterona, observou-se que a expressão pulmonar dos receptores de glicocorticoides apresentou-se reduzida nos animais de baixo peso ao nascer, entretanto, a redução de corticosterona promoveu o aumento da expressão dos receptores. É possível concluir que a corticosterona está envolvida com a reduzida resposta inflamatória pulmonar desenvolvida por animais de baixo peso ao nascer.

Influence of corticosterone on acute lung inflammation of low birth weight rats.

Acute lung injury
Corticosterone

Subnutrition
Abstract in English
The malnutrition during pregnancy may impair the fetal development and the maturation of immune system. Wistar rats with 12 weeks-old with low birth weigt present reduced lung inflammatory response, and increased circulating levels of corticosterone. This model was subjected to adrenalectomy and corticosterone replacement in phyological levels, and the acute lung injury by LPS was induced. The results obtained showed an increase in neutrophil infiltration into lung tissue, and increase of inflammatory mediators after reduction of corticosterone in low birth weight rats. The lung expression of glucocorticoid receptors was reduced in low birth weight rats, however, after reduction of corticosterone, the expression of receptors was incerased. The data showed that high levels of corticosterone are related to reduced acute lung inflammatory response developed by low birth weght rats.
