Abstract in Portuguese
O fenômeno da tolerância ao lipopolissacarídeo ocorre quando animais expostos a pequenas doses de LPS tornam-se hiporresponsivos a doses letais posteriores. Tendo em vista que a capacidade do hospedeiro de tolerar a presença de agentes patogênicos é uma estratégia do organismo humano e que reduz o impacto negativo durante a sepse, o objetivo do estudo foi investigar se a tolerância ao lipopolissacarídeo resulta em efeitos benéficos na atividade das enzimas antioxidantes e investigar possíveis diminuição da peroxidação lipídica, durante o estresse oxidativo. Após verificarmos a atividade das enzimas antioxidantes concluímos que tolerância ao lipopolissacarídeo tem um papel importante no equilíbrio redox, onde houve aumento da expressão de superóxido dismutase (SOD), nos animais tolerantes submetidos a ligadura e punção cecal, defendendo o hospedeiro de forma que o mesmo não respondesse de forma exacerbada nas exposições subsequentes a produtos de microrganismos patogênicos

Abstract in English
Sepsis has recently been classified as a fatal organic dysfunction caused by dysregulation of the immune response to a particular infection. It is a serious condition that can cause failure of one or multiple organs. It represents the main cause of death in patients treated in an intensive care unit (ICU). Most registered cases of sepsis are due to gram-negative bacteria. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of the outer membrane of the bacterium, triggers a cascade of activities of the immune system. This response to LPS produces several inflammatory mediators and can generate oxidative stress also known as redox imbalance through the release of reactive oxygen species (EROS). Considering that the host's ability to tolerate the presence of pathogens is a strategy of the human organism and reduces the negative impact of the disease, we propose to investigate whether endotoxemia results in beneficial changes, maintaining the redox balance during the sepsis period. After verifying the relative mRNA expression and protein quantification, we conclude that endotoxemia caused by lipopolysaccharide plays an important role in the immunoregulation of the inflammatory response defending the host so that it does not respond exacerbatedly in subsequent exposures to products of pathogenic microorganisms
