ABSTRACT

La esclerosis múltiple remitente-recurrente (EM-RR) es una enfermedad desmielinizante del sistema nervioso central. A fin de entender la asociación del estrés oxidativo a nivel periférico con la recaída de la enfermedad se determinaron los niveles de marcadores de estrés oxidativo en plasma de pacientes en la recaída o brote y una semana después de la misma. Se analizaron muestras de 60 personas (20 pacientes con recaída, 20 pacientes sin recaída y 20 controles sanos). Se cuantificaron mediante métodos espectrofotométricos las actividades enzimáticas de óxido nítrico sintasa (ONS), glutatión peroxidasa (GPx), los niveles de lipoperóxidos y nitritos-nitratos y la fluidez de membrana. En el brote de la enfermedad aumentan significativamente los niveles de las actividades enzimáticas de ONS y GPx y los niveles de nitritos-nitratos y lipoperóxidos (p<0,01 en todos los casos), al ser comparados con los de individuos sanos. Dichos parámetros disminuyeron significativamente una semana después de iniciado el brote. Además, los parámetros evaluados se mantuvieron elevados en pacientes que no experimentaron un brote de la enfermedad cuando se los comparó con individuos sanos. La fluidez de membrana en los pacientes con y sin brote fue similar a la de los controles. En conclusión, el estrés oxidativo es un componente importante en los pacientes con esclerosis múltiple.


Recurrent-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. In order to understand the association of oxidative stress at the peripheral level with the relapse of the disease, the levels of oxidative stress markers in plasma of patients in the relapse or outbreak and one week after relapse were determined. Samples of 60 subjects were analyzed (20 patients in relapse, 20 patients without relapse, and 20 healthy controls). The enzymatic activities of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), lipoperoxides and nitrite-nitrate levels and membrane fluidity were quantified by spectrophotometric methods. In relapse, the levels of enzymatic activities of NOS and GPx, and the levels of lipoperoxides and nitrites-nitrates were significantly increased (p<0.01, in all cases), compared with healthy individuals. These parameters decreased significantly 1 week after the start of the outbreak. In addition, the parameters evaluated remained high in patients who did not experience an outbreak of the disease compared to healthy subjects. The membrane fluidity in the patients with and without outbreak was similar to that of the controls. In conclusion, oxidative stress is an important component in patients with multiple sclerosis.


A esclerose múltipla recorrente-remitente (EM-RR) é uma doença desmielinizante do sistema nervoso central. Para compreender a associação do estresse oxidativo a nível periférico com a recaída da doença foram determinados os níveis de marcadores de estresse oxidativo em plasma de doentes na recaída ou surto e uma semana após a recaída. Foram analisadas a amostras de 60 pessoas (20 pacientes com recaída, 20 pacientes sem recaída e 20 controles saudáveis). As atividades enzimáticas de óxido nítrico sintase (ONS), glutationa peroxidase (GPX), os níveis de lipoperóxidos e nitritos-nitratos e a fluidez de membrana foram quantificadas por métodos espectrofotométricos. No surto da doença aumentam em forma significativa os níveis da atividade enzimática de ONS e GPX, e os níveis de nitritos-nitratos e lipoperóxidos (p<0,01 em todos os casos), em comparação com os indivíduos saudáveis. Esses parâmetros diminuíram significativamente uma semana após o início do surto. Além disso, os parâmetros avaliados permaneceram elevados em pacientes que não experimentaram um surto da doença quando comparados com indivíduos saudáveis. A fluência de membrana nos pacientes com e sem surto foi semelhante à dos controles. Em conclusão, o estresse oxidativo é um componente importante nos pacientes com esclerose múltipla.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una revisión que comprende aspectos morfológicos y funcionales de agentes oxidantes y antioxidantes, así como los mecanismos bioquímicos que los involucran en la defensa antioxidante del organismo. Se conoce como estrés oxidativo a los efectos morbosos debidos al desequilibrio entre la acción de agentes oxidantes sobre las células y la respuesta antioxidante de estas. Los agentes oxidantes pueden ser exógenos (fármacos y venenos) y endógenos (como las especies reactivas del oxígeno y los peróxidos lipídicos). Por otra parte, la dotación antioxidante del organismo humano también cuenta con miembros externos e internos. Entre los primeros figuran las vitaminas antioxidantes y minerales como el hierro y el selenio, ingresados formando parte de los alimentos o como suplemento nutritivo; internamente, se encuentran hemoenzimas oxidorreductasas y metabolitos intermediarios como el glutatión. Muchos procesos patológicos como entidades nosológicas en sí, se acompañan de estrés oxidativo, expresándose en la peroxidación de biomembranas y la subsiguiente apoptosis, lo cual podría acarrear la muerte celular.


A review that includes morphological and functional aspects of oxidant and antioxidant agents, as well as the biochemical mechanisms involving them in the antioxidant defense of the body was made. Oxidative stress is known as the morbid effects due to the unbalance between the action of oxidant agents on the cells and the antioxidant response. Oxidant agents can be exogenous (drugs and poisons) and endogenous (like the Reactive Oxygen Species and lipid peroxides). On the other hand, the antioxidant complement of the human organism has also both external and internal members. Among the first ones there are antioxidant vitamins and minerals, such as iron and selenium, which have come into the cell as part of food or as a diet supplement. Oxidoreductase hemoenzymes and intermediary metabolites as gluthatione are internally found. Many pathological processes as nosological entities per se are accompanied with oxidative stress and are expressed in the peroxidation of biomembranes and in the subsequent apoptosis, which may lead to cellular death.

ABSTRACT

We studied the dynamic changes of pulmonary vascular permeability and lipo-peroxides(LPO) in scalded rats with full-thickness damage (40% of body surface). Both pulmonary vascular permeability and LPO in serum and lung homogenate increasd significantly two hours after scalding. Subsequently interstitial and alveolar edema were developed. Pulmonary vascular permeability was strongly correlated with lung LPO(r = 0.992). Serum CH50 was decreased to 56.8% one hour after scalding, and at the same time leukocyte count increased in the pulmonary interstitium and vasculature.The increases in pulmonary vascular permeability and LPO could be prevented with large doses of vitamine E and leukopenia.The results indicate that the lipoperoxidation of pulmonary vascular endothelial cells secondary to complement activation and pulmonary leukostasis is the major cause of increase jn pulmonary vascular permeability after scalding.
