Title in Portuguese
Papel da corticosterona na vigência do estresse sobre a função pineal em ratos.
Keywords in Portuguese
Corticosterona
Eixo imune-pineal
Estresse
Glândula pineal
Melatonina
Ratos
TNF
Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo geral da presente tese é testar a hipótese que a pineal faz parte integrante da resposta ao estresse, da mesma forma que está integrada ao processo inflamatório. Dois modelos de estresse, contenção e frio, foram aplicados aos ratos por 30 min ou 2 horas. Os resultados foram: ausência de úlceras gástricas e TNF em nível sérico por ambos os estresses, apenas aumento de corticosterona; somente em duas horas qualquer um dos estresses aumentou significativamente melatonina da pineal; tratamento tanto com metirapona como com mifepristone aboliram indistintamente os efeitos dos estresses; tratamento tanto com talidomida como com fenilefrina não modificaram os efeitos dos estresses. Concluímos que, o estresse moderado agudo, pela ação da corticosterona, promove modulação da pineal na dependência do estado fisiológico da mesma. Confirmamos a existência de uma relação entre as glândulas adrenais e pineal. Afirmamos que a glândula pineal exerce, além de suas clássicas funções cronobióticas, um papel de grande sensor do estado geral ao organismo inteiro.

Abstract in English
The objective of this thesis is to test the hypothesis that the pineal is a player on stress response, likewise that it is one player in inflammatory process. Two stress models, restraint and cold, were applied to the rats for 30 min or 2 hous. The results were: absence of gastric ulcers and TNF serum levels in both stresses, just enhancement of corticosterone plasma levels; only in two hours anyone stress increased significantly pineal melatonin; metyrapone or mifepristone treatment abolish indistinctly the effects of the stresses; thalidomide or phenylephrine treatment did not modify the effects of the stresses. We conclude that the acute moderate stress by the corticosterone action promote modulation of pineal on the dependence of the physiological status of itself. We confirm the existence of a network between the adrenal and pineal glands. We affirm that the pineal gland performs, beyond of its chronobiotical classical functions, one role of the great sensor of internal body state to the whole organism.
