Abstract in Portuguese
Ainda existe controvérsia se a terapia hormonal estrogênica confere benefício ou dano cardiovascular. O dano potencial causado por doses padrão de estrogênio incluindo doença cardíaca coronariana e trombose venosa pode ser atenuada por uso de doses mais baixas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do tratamento com conjugado estrogênio equino, no leito mesentérico venular (LVM) de SHR ovariectomizadas (OVX), com dose padrão (SD) vs dose mínima (LD). Angiotensina II (AngII) foi perfundida de forma concentração-dependente. Hiperreatividade à Ang II, aumento na geração de EROS, redução da atividade da SOD e catalase e da biodisponibilidade do NO foram encontrados em OVX e SD vs controle e LD. Por outro lado, a resposta reduzida à AngII no LVM de ratas LD foi relacionado ao aumento da atividade da eNOS, redução na geração de EROS e aumento da expressão dos receptores AT2,ERα e GPR30. Sugerimos que a dose mínima tem efeito protetor sobre o LVM das OVX e que a dose SD pode aumentar o risco para a doença venular induzindo alterações na reatividade venular.

Abstract in English
Controversy still exists whether estrogen hormonal therapy confers cardiovascular benefit or harm. The potential harm caused by standard dosages of estrogen including coronary heart disease and venous thrombosis may be mitigated by use of lower doses. The aim of this study was evaluated the effect of conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) treatment, in isolated mesenteric venular bed (MVB) of ovariectomized SHR (OVX), at standard therapeutic (SD) vs low dose (LD). Angiotensin II (Ang II) was perfused in a concentration-dependent manner. Hyperreactivity to Ang II,augmented ROS generation, reduced SOD, catalase activity and NO availability were found in OVX and SD vs. control and LD. However, the reduced MVB response to Ang II in LD rats was related to increased endothelial NO synthase activity, reduced ROS generation and increased Ang II AT2, ERα and GPR30 receptor expression. We suggest that CEE at a low dose has a protective effect in OVX mesenteric venular bed. The standard dose might increase the risk for venular disease by inducing alterations in venular reactivity.
