ABSTRACT

A cotonicultura tem forte fator de impacto na economia nacional, e o estado de Mato Grosso se destaca por ser o maior produtor de algodão herbáceo e deter o maior rebanho bovino do país, condições essas que estimulam o uso do caroço, da torta e do farelo de algodão na alimentação animal. Considerando que o gossipol está presente nos subprodutos do algodão e que seus efeitos sobre a reprodução podem reduzir a fertilidade dos animais, objetivou-se, com essa pesquisa, avaliar o efeito da ingestão de dietas com diferentes teores de gossipol livre por dia sobre a morfometria testicular e a qualidade seminal de touros da raça Nelore. Foram utilizados 28 touros, distribuídos aleatoriamente em seis tratamentos: T0, 0 grama de gossipol livre/touro/dia ; T1, 1,08 grama de gossipol livre/touro/dia; T2, 2,07 gramas de gossipol livre/touro/dia; T3, 3,24 gramas de gossipol livre/touro/dia; T4, 3,82 gramas de gossipol livre/touro/dia e T5, 5,08 gramas de gossipol livre/touro/dia. Os animais de cada tratamento foram mantidos confinados em área média de 100m2, dotada de bebedouro, cochos para mistura mineral e para volumoso/concentrado. O consumo de 3,24 gramas de gossipol livre/touro/dia alterou a qualidade espermática e a morfometria testicular de touros.(AU)


The cotton industry has a strong impact factor in the Brazilian economy and the state of Mato Grosso stands out for being the largest upland-type cotton producer and also holds the largest cattle herd in the country, conditions that stimulate the use of cottonseed pie and cottonseed meal in animal feed. Whereas gossypol is present in cotton by-products and their effects on reproduction can reduce the animal fertility, this research evaluated the effect of diets with different free gossypol contents in the testicular morphometry and semen quality of Nelore bulls. 28 bulls were randomly distributed in six treatments: T0, receiving no free gossypol; T1, receiving 1.08g / bull / day; T2, receiving 2.07g / bull / day; T3, receiving 3.24g / bull / day; T4, receiving 3.82g / bull / day and T5, receiving 5.08g / bull / day of free gossypol respectively. The animals in each treatment were kept confined in an averaged area of 100m2, having fresh water, troughs for mineral mixture and roughage / concentrate. The consumption of 3.24g of free gossypol / bull / day altered the bulls sperm quality and testicular morphometry.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O fígado desempenha uma função central no metabolismo devido à sua interposição entre o trato digestivo e a circulação geral do organismo. Ele é também o principal órgão envolvido na biotransformação de substâncias exógenas (xenobióticos), com capacidade de converter compostos hidrofóbicos em hidrossolúveis, mais facilmente eliminados pelo organismo. O gossipol é uma substância fenólica tóxica presente na semente de algodão (Gossypium sp). Com o objetivo de estudar os mecanismos envolvidos na hepatotoxicidade do gossipol avaliou-se os seus efeitos no sistema antioxidante do fígado de ratos no que diz respeito ao estresse oxidativo e aspectos histopatológicos. Foram utilizados ratos machos da linhagem Wistar, separados em dois grupos, sendo que um recebeu óleo de canola (veículo, grupo Controle) e o outro recebeu gossipol na dosagem de 40 mg/kg de peso vivo do animal por 15 dias (grupo Tratado). O tratamento com gossipol promoveu alterações na atividade sérica das enzimas marcadoras de dano hepático e um significativo estresse oxidativo caracterizado pela diminuição nos níveis da glutationa reduzida (GSH) e consequente aumento da glutationa oxidada (GSSG), incluindo, ainda, danos à membrana plasmática e de organelas demonstrados pela peroxidação lipídica. O resultado da avaliação histopatológica demonstrou degeneração dos hepatócitos.


The liver plays a central role in metabolism due to its interposition between the digestive tract and the general circulation of the organism. It is also the main organ involved in biotransformation of exogenous substances (xenobiotics), with ability to convert hydrophobic compounds in water-soluble, more easily eliminated by the body. Gossypol is a toxic phenolic substance present in cotton seed (Gossypium sp.). Aiming to study the mechanisms involved in the hepatotoxicity of gossypol we evaluate its effects on the antioxidant system of rat liver performing an experiment that investigated the oxidative stress and the histopathological alterations. In this study, we used Wistar rats, divided into two groups, one that received canola oil (vehicle, Control group) and another that received gossypol at a dose of 40mg/kg body weight of the animal for 15 days (Treated group). The treatment with gossypol caused alterations in the activity of seric enzymes that indicate hepatic injury and a significant oxidative stress characterized by a decrease of reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and a consequent increase in oxidized glutathione (GSSG), including further damage to the plasma membrane and organelles showed by lipid peroxidation. The result of histopathological evaluation showed degeneration of the hepatocytes.

ABSTRACT

Se captaron 13 hombres voluntarios menores de 45 años, que habían solicitado vasectomia y no tenían contradicciones para el uso del medicamento. Los sujetos recibieron 10 mg diarios de gosipol por vía oral durante la fase de saturación (3 meses) y 10 mg 3 meses por semana durante la fase de mantenimiento (de 13 a 14 meses). Se relizó interrogatorio y examen físico en la visita de admición y en las de seguimiento, así como monitoreo de la concentración de potasio, enzimas hepáticas, electrocardiograma, indicadores de la función renal, espermograma y determinación de los niveles sanguineos de las hormonas relacionadas con la reproducción. Se descontinuaron del estudio 6 sujetos .De los 7 que terminaron el ensayo ,4 bajaron de peso y 2 aumentaron la proteinuria. Se obsevó una gran iregularidad en el patrón de respuesta del espermograma. No se hallaron cambios en los niveles de T, DTH, E2, FSH, LH y PRL. En conclusión, el regimen de bajas dosis de gosipol como contraceptivo masculino no es muy eficaz, mantiene efectos tóxicos secundarios en algunos casos y no actúa sobre las hormonas más importantes de la reproducción; ello sugiere que éste no es un método contraceptivo masculino útil para grandes poblaciones

ABSTRACT

Oral administration of gossypol induced sterility in male rats by 10 weeks, at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight/day. The pituitary FSH gonadotroph cells showed dilated endoplasmic reticulum and accumulation of secretory granules in the cytoplasm. LH cells were degranulated. The Leydig cells showed enhanced synthetic activity. There was no change in testis weight and testicular RNA, lipids and cholesterol in the treated group while significant increase was observed in DNA content. Testicular sialic acid content decreased significantly over controls. The Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, spermatocytes and early spermatids were not affected after the treatment. The weights of prostate, seminal vesicle were recorded normal and there were no ultrastructural variations. The levels of acid and alkaline phosphatase and RNA in prostatic tissue were insignificant as compared with controls. However, DNA content of prostate gland showed a significant increase. Sialic acid of seminal vesicle + coagulating gland were within the control range. A marked reduction in fructose values from the same organ was noted.
