ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a concentração de alfa-tocoferol no soro e colostro maternos, seja em condições de jejum ou pós-prandial. MÉTODOS: Trinta parturientes saudáveis atendidas em uma maternidade pública foram recrutadas para o estudo, e amostras de sangue, colostro em jejum e colostro pós-prandial foram coletadas até 12 horas pós-parto. RESULTADOS: A concentração sérica de alfa-tocoferol foi de 1.939,8±766,0 μg/dL. O alfa-tocoferol no colostro em jejum, 1.603,4±911,0 μg/dL, e após a refeição, 1.515,0±890,9 μg/dL, não apresentaram diferença significativa (p > 0,05). Houve correlação entre o alfa-tocoferol do colostro na condição de jejum e no pós-prandial (p < 0,05), mas não entre o soro e o colostro. CONCLUSÃO: A falta de correlação entre o alfa-tocoferol no plasma e no colostro e a correlação entre o alfa-tocoferol no colostro em jejum e no pós-prandial reforçam a hipótese de um mecanismo de controle na passagem desse micronutriente, independente do aporte dietético.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate alpha-tocopherol concentrations in maternal serum and colostrum under fasting and postprandial conditions. METHODS: Thirty healthy childbearing women were recruited in a public maternity hospital, and samples of blood, fasting colostrum, and postprandial colostrum were collected from them up to 12 hours after delivery. RESULTS: The serum alpha-tocopherol concentration was 1,939.8±766.0 μg/dL. Alpha-tocopherol levels in fasting colostrum (1,603.4±911.0 μg/dL) and in postprandial colostrum (1,515.0±890.9 μg/dL) did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). There was correlation between alpha-tocopherol levels in fasting and postprandial colostrum (p < 0.05), but not between serum and colostrum. CONCLUSION: The lack of correlation between alpha-tocopherol levels in plasma and in colostrum, and the correlation between alpha-tocopherol concentrations in fasting and postprandial colostrum support the existence of a mechanism that controls the transfer of this nutrient, regardless of dietary intake.
