Title in Portuguese
Efeitos da pinealectomia e do bloqueio da sinalização do receptor de glicocorticoides sobre as funções metabólicas e inflamatórias hepáticas
Keywords in Portuguese
Fígado
Glicocorticoides
Inflamação
Melatonina
Metabolismo energético
Abstract in Portuguese
Os ritmos biológicos circadianos garantem a relação temporal entre os seres e o ambiente. A regulação metabólica se relaciona à ritmicidade dos ciclos de claro-escuro, com importância das ações da melatonina e dos glicocorticoides no fígado. Investigamos a participação dos glicocorticoides no ajuste metabólico mediado pela secreção rítmica de melatonina e no contexto inflamatório hepático. Ratos Wistar machos pinealectomizados tratados ou não com RU 486 tiveram o padrão circadiano circulante de corticosterona, insulina e glicose aferido ao longo de 8ZTs e no ZT10. Neste ponto, analisou-se a expressão de RNAm e protéica envolvidas em ações metabólicas e inflamatórias. Testes in vivo de tolerância à glicose e ao piruvato e a fosforilação da Akt hepática no ZT10 em resposta à insulina, em conjunto às alterações de peso e composição corpórea, conteúdo de glicogênio e histologia do fígado, apontam maior influência da corticosterona na gliconeogênese e correlação de ambos os hormônios nas alterações energéticas e na instalação de um quadro pró-inflamatório hepático.

Abstract in English
Circadian biological rhythms guarantee the temporal relationship between living beings and the environment. Metabolic regulation relates to the rhythm to the light-dark cycle, with importance of the actions of melatonin and glucocorticoids in the liver. We investigated the participation of glucocorticoids in the metabolic adjustment mediated by rhythmic secretion of melatonin on the liver inflammatory context. Male Wistar rats pinealectomized treated or not with RU 486 had the circadian levels of circulating corticosterone, insulin and glucose measured along 8ZTs and on ZT10. At this point, we analyzed mRNA and protein expression related to metabolic and inflammatory actions. In vivo tests to glucose and pyruvate tolerance and rating the phosphorylation of Akt in response to insulin in liver at ZT10, with the changes in weight and body composition, glycogen content and liver histology, indicate influence of corticosterone in gluconeogenesis and correlation of both hormones in energy alterations and on the installation of a hepatic pro-inflammatory process.
