Abstract in Portuguese
A angiotensina II (AngII) pode ativar as vias de sinalização das proteínas quinases ativadas por mitógenos (MAPKs). Investigamos o papel da obesidade e das MAPKs na resposta à AngII em ratos obesos por injeção de glutamato monossódico (Ob). Artérias mesentéricas de resistência com endotélio intacto e não as artérias sem endotélio, isoladas de Ob, respondem menos à AngII. As respostas à noradrenalina e ao cloreto de potássio estavam inalteradas. Aumento da expressão do receptor AT2 (AT2R), da óxido nítrico sintase (eNOS) e da ERK1/2 podem estar envolvidos na menor resposta pois a inibição do AT2R, da eNOS e da ERK1/2 corrigiram-na. A maior ativação da ERK1/2 nos Ob levou à maior ativação da eNOS e maior geração de NO, diminuindo a resposta à Ang II. Concluímos que na obesidade, a resposta contrátil à Ang II é menor, como possível mecanismo adaptativo frente ao aumento da ativação do sistema renina-angiotensina. Esse mecanismo envolve a participação do endotélio com maior liberação de NO, aumento do número de AT2R, e da fosforilação da eNOS e da ERK1/2.

Abstract in English
Angiotensin II (AngII) can activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathways. We investigated the role of obesity and MAPKs in AngII response in monosodium glutamate-induced obese rats (Ob). Endothelium-intact but not endothelium-denuded mesenteric resistance arteries isolated from Ob exhibited a lower response to AngII. The response to nordrenaline and potassium chloride were unaltered. Increased expression of AT2 receptor, nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and ERK1/2 might be involved in the reduced response since inhibition of AT2R, eNOS and ERK1/2 corrected it. Increased activation of ERK 1/2 in Ob might activate eNOS, generating more NO and vasodilation that contributed to reduce the contraction to AngII. We concluded that, in obesity, the lower response to AngII might be an adaptive mechanism against the increased activation of the renin-angiotensin system. This mechanism involves the participation of the endothelium through a greater release of NO, increased AT2R, eNOS and ERK1/2 expressions.
