ABSTRACT

Abstract To evaluate the effect of vitamin A supplementation in postpartum infants and women on serum retinol levels and breast milk. The databases Medline, PubMed, Lilacs and SciELO were consulted. The descriptors used were vitamin A, dietary supplement, child, postpartum period, infant and nutrition programs policies. Search found 7432 articles. After elimination of duplicity and application of eligibility criteria, 8 studies remained. All evaluated the effect of vitamin A supplementation on immediate postpartum, five studies used retinyl palmitate supplementation, one with retinyl palmitate and two did not specify the form of supplementation. Six studies evaluated colostrum and two included supplementation of children. It was found that supplementation in the puerperium increases the concentrations of serum retinol and breast milk, however, this result was in the short term and was relevant when the previous concentrations of the mother were low. When maternal serum concentrations are adequate, the retinol content in milk does not change, with little relevance for children. Further studies should be performed to evaluate the effect of megadoses supplementation on serum concentrations of children.


Resumo Avaliar o efeito da suplementação de vitamina A, em lactentes e mulheres no pós-parto, nos níveis de retinol sérico e no leite materno. Foram consultadas as bases de dados Medline, PubMed, Lilacs e SciELO. Os descritores utilizados foram: vitamin A, dietary supplement, child, postpartum period, infant e nutrition programs policies. A busca identificou 7432 artigos. Após eliminação da duplicidade e aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade permaneceram 8 estudos. Todos avaliaram o efeito da suplementação de vitamina A no pós parto imediato, cinco estudos utilizaram a suplementação com retinil palmitato, um com palmitato de retinila e dois não especificaram a forma de suplementação. Seis estudos avaliaram o colostro e dois incluíram a suplementação de crianças. Encontrou-se que a suplementação no puerpério aumenta as concentrações de retinol sérico e do leite materno, no entanto, este resultado foi a curto prazo e foi relevante quando as concentrações prévias da mãe eram baixas. Quando as concentrações séricas maternas encontram-se adequadas, pouco se altera o teor de retinol no leite, tendo pouco relevância para as crianças. Mais estudos devem ser realizados para avaliar o efeito da suplementação com megadoses nas concentrações séricas de crianças.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of vitamin A supplementation on the retinol concentration in colostrum under fasting and postprandial conditions. METHODS: This was a quasi-experimental study, with before and after assessments, conducted with 33 patients treated at a public maternity hospital. Blood and colostrum samples were collected under fasting conditions in the immediate postpartum period. A second colostrum collection occurred two hours after the first meal of the day, at which time a mega dose of 200,000 IU of retinyl palmitate was administered. On the following day, the colostrum was collected again under fasting and postprandial conditions. Serum and colostrum retinol concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: The serum retinol concentration was 37.3 (16.8-62.2) µg/dL, indicating adequate nutritional status. The colostrum retinol concentration before supplementation was 46.8 (29.7-158.9) µg/dL in fasting and 67.3 (31.1-148.7) µg/dL in postprandial condition (p < 0.05), showing an increase of 43.8%. After supplementation, the values were 89.5 (32.9-264.2) µg/dL and 102.7 (37.3-378.3) µg/dL in fasting and postprandial conditions, respectively (p < 0.05), representing an increase of 14.7%. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that maternal supplementation with high doses of vitamin A in postpartum resulted in a significant increase of the retinol concentration in colostrum under fasting conditions, with an even greater increase after a meal. .


OBJETIVO: Investigar o efeito da suplementação com vitamina A sobre a concentração de retinol no leite colostro em condições de jejum e pós-prandial. MÉTODOS: Estudo quase-experimental, do tipo antes e depois, realizado com 33 parturientes atendidas em uma maternidade pública, das quais foram coletadas, em jejum, amostras de sangue e leite colostro, no pós-parto imediato. Uma segunda coleta de colostro ocorreu duas horas após a primeira refeição do dia, momento em que uma megadose de 200.000 UI de palmitato de retinila foi administrada. No dia seguinte, uma nova coleta de colostro foi realizada em condições de jejum e pós-prandial. As concentrações de retinol no soro e no colostro foram determinadas por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência. RESULTADOS: A concentração de retinol sérico foi de 37,3 (16,8-62,2) µg/dL, evidenciando um estado nutricional adequado. No colostro, a concentração de retinol antes da suplementação foi de 46,8 (29,7-158,9) µg/dL em jejum e 67,3 (31,1-148,7) µg/dL em condições pós-prandiais (p < 0,05), mostrando um aumento de 43,8%. Após a suplementação, os valores foram de 89,5 (32,9-264,2) µg/dL e 102,7 (37,3-378,3) µg/dL em jejum e pós-prandial, respectivamente (p < 0,05), representando um aumento de 14,7%. CONCLUSÕES: Este trabalho demonstrou que a suplementação materna com altas doses de vitamina A no pós-parto resultou em um aumento significativo da concentração de retinol no colostro em condições de jejum, sendo este valor ainda maior após a refeição. .

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a influência da suplementação com palmitato de retinol no pós-parto imediato sobre os níveis de imunoglobulina A secretora (SIgA) no colostro. MÉTODOS: Ensaio clínico realizado com 96 parturientes atendidas em uma maternidade pública, divididas em grupo controle, que não foi suplementado (n = 44), e teste, suplementado no primeiro dia pós-parto (n = 52). Coletaram-se amostras de 2 mL de colostro nos dois primeiros dias pós-parto. A SIgA foi quantificada por turbidimetria, e os dados, analisados por teste t de Student. RESULTADOS: Antes da suplementação, a média de SIgA foi de 829,1±337,6 mg/dL no grupo controle e 827,3±249,8 mg/dL no teste (p = 0,52). Após a suplementação, a média foi de 343,9±177,2 mg/dL no grupo não suplementado e 501,2±54,5 mg/dL no suplementado (p < 0,00001). CONCLUSÃO: O colostro de mulheres suplementadas com palmitato de retinol possui mais SIgA, sugerindo modulação da produção de anticorpos pela vitamina A.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of supplementation with retinyl palmitate in the immediate postpartum period on the levels of secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) in colostrum. METHODS: A clinical trial was conducted among 96 recently-delivered mothers treated at a public maternity hospital, divided into control group, which was not supplemented (n = 44), and test group, supplemented on the first day postpartum (n = 52). Samples of 2 mL of colostrum were collected on the first 2 days postpartum. SIgA was measured by turbidimetry and data were analyzed by the Student t test. RESULTS: Before supplementation, the average SIgA was 829.1±337.6 mg/dL in the control group and 827.3±249.8 mg/dL in the test group (p = 0.52). After supplementation, the average SIgA was 343.9±177.2 mg/dL in the unsupplemented group and 501.2±54.5 mg/dL in the supplemented group (p < 0.00001). CONCLUSION: The colostrum of women supplemented with retinyl palmitate has higher levels of SIgA, which suggests that the production of antibodies is modulated by vitamin A.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a concentração de alfa-tocoferol no colostro humano em condições de suplementação com cápsulas de vitamina A acrescidas de vitamina E sintética. MÉTODOS: Foram recrutadas para o estudo 30 parturientes saudáveis atendidas em uma maternidade pública. Após jejum noturno, foram coletadas amostras de sangue e de colostro (2 mL) das parturientes. Após a primeira coleta, as mesmas receberam suplemento na forma de uma cápsula de palmitato de retinila (200000 UI ou 60 mg) acrescido de vitamina E sintética (49,4 mg de dl-alfa-tocoferol). Após 24 horas da suplementação, foi realizada nova coleta de 2 mL de colostro, também em jejum. RESULTADOS: A concentração sérica de alfa-tocoferol foi de 1 042,9 ± 319,0 μg/dL. Os teores de alfa-tocoferol no colostro antes da suplementação foram de 1155,4 ± 811,0 μg/dL, vs. 1396,3 ± 862,2 μg/dL 24 horas depois da suplementação (P > 0,05). Foi encontrada correlação entre o alfa-tocoferol do colostro na condição de jejum antes da suplementação e 24 horas após a suplementação (P = 0,001; r = 0,58), mas não entre soro e o colostro em nenhuma das condições acima citadas. CONCLUSÕES: Não houve aumento na concentração de alfa-tocoferol do colostro 24 horas após a suplementação. Isso indica que não é vantajoso suplementar a mãe com vitamina E sintética. Entretanto, os resultados também sugerem que, se o estado nutricional prévio à suplementação estiver adequado, mais tocoferol será encontrado no colostro após a suplementação. Novos estudos devem ser realizados para investigar o efeito da suplementação com a forma natural do alfa-tocoferol.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the levels of alpha-tocopherol in human colostrum following supplementation with capsules containing vitamin A plus synthetic vitamin E. METHODS: Thirty healthy women about to give birth were recruited from a public maternity hospital. After overnight fasting, blood samples as well as colostrum samples (2 mL) were collected. After the first collection, the women received supplementation with a capsule containing retinyl palmitate (200 000 IU or 60 mg) plus synthetic vitamin E (49.4 mg dl-alpha tocopherol). Twenty-four hours after supplementation, a second 2 mL colostrum sample was collected after overnight fasting. RESULTS: The serum concentration of alpha-tocopherol was 1 042,9 ± 319.0 µg/dL. The concentration of alpha-tocopherol in colostrum before supplementation was 155.4 ± 811.0 µg/dL, vs. 1 396.3 ± 862.2 µg/dL 24 hours after supplementation (P > 0.05). A correlation was found between fasting levels of alpha-tocopherol in colostrum before supplementation and 24 hours after supplementation (P = 0.001; r = 0.58), but not between the concentrations in serum and colostrum. CONCLUSIONS: There was no increase in the levels of alpha-tocopherol in colostrum 24 hours after supplementation. This suggests that supplementation with synthetic vitamin E is not advantageous. However, the present results also suggest that if the nutritional state is adequate prior to supplementation, more tocopherol will be available in colostrum after supplementation. Further studies should be carried out to investigate the effects of supplementation with the natural form of alpha-tocopherol.

ABSTRACT

En el presente trabajo se estudió el efecto de la administración intramuscular de 30.000, 50.000 y 100.000 UI de palmitato de vitamina A/día, durante 7 días, respectivamente, sobre la actividad enzimática hepática en 45 ratas Wistar machos, de 12 semanas de edad, con pesos entre 180 y 200 gramos. El grupo control estuvo integrado por 15 ratas Wistar sanas, con género, edad y peso similares a los animales tratados. El consumo de alimentos y de agua, y el peso de las ratas se determinó al finalizar el período experimental. Las ratas se examinaron en busca de manifestaciones clínicas de toxicidad. Al final el estudio, las ratas se sacrificaron bajo anestesia con éter y se tomaron muestras de tejido hepático para la determinación de la actividad enzimática. La administración de vitamina A en exceso incrementó de manera significativa (p menor que 0,05) el contenido hepático del retinol, determinó diversos y variados signos clínicos (tales como: anorexia, pérdida de peso, alopecia, conjuntivitis, hemorragias internas y externas, alteraciones cutáneas y muerte de los animales) e incrementó (p menor que 0,05) la actividad de las siguientes enzimas: alanina aminotransferasa, aspartato aminotransferasa, maltasa ácida (alfa-1,4-glucosidasa ácida), proteasas ácidas, lactato dehidrogenasa y fosfatasa alcalina mientras que las actividades de la glucosa-6-fosfatasa, glucógeno fosforilasa, alfa-amilasa, colinesterasa y arginasa disminuyeron (p menor que 0,05) al comparar con los controles no tratados. Estos cambios son proporcionales a las dosis inyectadas de vitamina A. En conclusión, nuestros resultados proporcionan evidencias que la administración de dosis altas de vitamina A a corto plazo determina diversos y variados signos clínicos y produce una marcada alteración de la actividad enzimática hepática.


In the present work the effect of intramuscular administration of 30.000, 50.000 and 100.000 IU of vitamin A palmitate daily for seven days, respectively, on the liver enzyme activity in 45 white male Wistar rats, aged 12 weeks and weighing 180-200 g, have been studied. The group control was integrated by 15 healthy rats with similar characteristics (strain, gender, age and weight) to treated animals. Food and water consumption and body weights were recorded at the end of the experimental period. Rats were observed for clinical signs of toxicity. At the end of the study, rats were sacrificed under ether anesthesia. Liver samples were taken for the determination of enzyme activity. Administration of excess of vitamin A produced a significant (p menor 0.05) increase in the content of liver vitamin A, determined diverse and variable clinical signs (such as, anorexia, loss of body weight, alopecia, conjunctivitis, external and internal hemorrhages, skin abnormalities and death) and increased (p menor que 0.05) the activity of the following enzymes: alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, acid maltase (acid alfa-1,4-glucosidase), acid proteases, lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase while glucose-6-phosphatase, glycogen phosphorylase, alfa-amylase, cholinesterase and arginase decreased (p menor que 0.05) as compared with untreated controls. These changes depend on the doses given of vitamin A. In conclusion, our results provide evidence that short-term administration of high doses of vitamin A determined diverse and variable clinical signs and produces a marked alteration of activity of liver enzymes.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito da suplementação com retinil palmitato sobre os níveis de retinol no colostro, investigando a influência de variáveis maternas (idade, tipo de parto e estado nutricional bioquímico) sobre esses níveis. MÉTODO:Participaram do estudo 33 nutrizes atendidas na Maternidade Escola Januário Cicco, Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. Foram coletadas, nas primeiras horas após o parto, uma amostra de sangue e uma de colostro. Uma nova amostra de colostro foi coletada 6 horas após suplementação materna com 200 000 UI de retinil palmitato. O retinol no sangue e colostro foi determinado por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência. RESULTADOS: Os níveis médios de retinol no colostro antes da suplementação foram de 110,8 ± 82,3 mug/dL, tendo atingido 164,4 ± 106,5 mug/dL após a suplementação (P < 0,025). Doze puérperas não responderam à suplementação ou tiveram um aumento inferior a 10 por cento nos níveis de retinol no colostro; o nível de retinol sérico dessas mulheres foi significativamente mais baixo do que o daquelas que responderam à suplementação (P = 0,024). Puérperas com parto cesáreo (64 por cento) tiveram níveis menores de retinol no soro (P = 0,036), mas não no leite, em comparação a mulheres com parto normal. A idade não influenciou os níveis de retinol, nem no soro nem no leite. CONCLUSÕES: A suplementação com retinil palmitato foi eficaz na elevação dos níveis de retinol no colostro, garantindo o fornecimento de quantidade suficiente de vitamina A para satisfazer o dobro das necessidades de retinol do recém-nascido.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of retinyl palmitate supplementation on colostrum retinol levels, investigating the influence of maternal variables (age, type of delivery, and biochemical nutritional status) on these levels. METHOD: The study included 33 mothers receiving care at the Januário Cicco Maternity School, in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. In the first hours after delivery, blood and colostrum samples were collected. Another colostrum sample was collected six hours after maternal supplementation with 200 000 IU of retinyl palmitate. Serum and colostrum retinol levels were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: The mean retinol level in colostrum before the supplementation was 110.8 ± 82.3 mug/dL, and after supplementation it was 164.4 ± 106.5 mug/dL (P < 0.025). Of the 33 mothers, 12 of them either did not respond to supplementation or had an increase of less than 10 percent in colostrum retinol levels; serum retinol in these women was significantly lower as compared to the responders (P = 0.024). In comparison to women with a normal delivery, the mothers who underwent cesarean delivery (64 percent) had lower serum retinol levels, but not lower colostrum retinol levels (P = 0.036). Maternal age did not influence retinol levels in either serum or colostrum. CONCLUSIONS: The increase in colostrum retinol levels following vitamin A supplementation was sufficient to guarantee double the retinol requirements of a newborn infant.

ABSTRACT

The effect of retinoids on spermatogenesis in adult male gerbils [Gerbillus cheesemani] was studied using light and electron microscopy. Treatment with either 13-cis-retinoic acid or retinol acetate was given for 6 weeks and their effects were compared with controls. It was found that 13-cis-retinoic acid induced almost complete cessation of spermatogenesis and produced alterations in the cytoplasm of Leydig cells. No differences were seen in the testis of animals treated with retinol acetate compared with controls using light microscopy but it appeared to produce noticeable ultrastructural changes in Leydig cells. The changes observed were reversed 12 weeks after stopping treatment. Caution should be exercised regarding the use of dietary retinoids in the prevention of cancer

ABSTRACT

Two vitamin A2 compounds (3-dehydroretinol and 3-dehydroretinyl palmitate) which are predominantly present in fresh water fish have been found to be very effective in inhibiting the microsome catalysed formation of DNA adduct by the carcinogen aflatoxin B1. The inhibition appears to be due to modulation of microsomal enzymes which activate the carcinogen. Such inhibition may suggest a potential chemopreventive role of these compounds against carcinogenesis induced by aflatoxin B1.

ABSTRACT

Tadpoles of B. melanostictus and R. cyanophlyctis were reared in vitamin A solution. Rearing of the tadpoles of B. melanostictus in solutions containing 15, 20 and 30 IU/ml vitamin A palmitate resulted in complete disappearance of the keratinized epidermal material over the jaws and horny labial teeth. However tadpoles of the frog R. cyanophlyctis, were not affected in this way.

ABSTRACT

La deficiencia acuosa es la alteración más frecuente de la película lagrimal que determina ojo seco. A los síntomas clásicos de ardor, sensación de arenilla, fotofobia. etc., se agregan signos como disminución del menisco lagrimal, secreción mucosa, queratitis punctata, filamentos y otros, que junto a los colorantes vitales y exámenes específicos, hacen que el diagnóstico no sea problemático. Los pacientes más difíciles de tratar son los que presentan un síndrome de Sjögren, porque hay además un compromiso inmunológico. En ellas las lágrimas de sustitución, la oclusión de los puntos lagrimales, los mucolíticos, la vitamina A, la ciclosporina, etc., a veces no dan el resultado esperado y nos vemos obligados a realizar tarsorrafia, resección de conjuntiva o tratar de perforación corneal. Finalmente, es posible tener áreas de desecación si hay blefaropatías y/o irregularidades de la superficie ocular

ABSTRACT

Present study evaluates the chemopreventive actions of tamoxifen (10 mg/kg), retinyl acetate (50 mg/kg), tocopherol (200 mg/kg), aminoglutethimide (1 mg/kg), ergocryptine (5 mg/kg), and sodium selenite (1 mg/kg) when given singly/in combinations on the initiation of mammary carcinogenesis induced by 20 mg of DMBA in virgin female rats. DMBA was given when rats were 50 days old and the modulators were given in diet 10 days before and 10 days after carcinogen treatment and experiments were terminated 6 months later. DMBA alone yielded tumors in 62% rats. When modulators were given singly and in combinations of two, tumor incidences were not altered significantly. The range of tumor incidences was between 30% and 13% when the agents were given in combinations of 3, 4 and 5. Finally when all 6 modulators were given together the tumor incidence dropped down to 8.3%.

ABSTRACT

Después de mencionar brevemente algunos conceptos generales sobre el cáncer, se revisan los conceptos farmacológicos principales de los retinoides, (compuestos que comprenden a la vitamina A y a sus análogos naturales y sintéticos), así como los estudios epidemiológicos y mecanísmos de acción probables en cuanto al efecto anticancerígeno de estos compuestos. Después, se analiza la acción de ellos sobre neoplasias no cancerosas, enfermedades premalignas y cáncer de los aparatos digestivo, respiratorio, urinario, reproductor, locomotor y circulatorio, así como sobre el sistema nervioso central, órganos de los sentidos, tejidos blandos y, especialmente, de la piel y sus anexos. Se concluye que los retinoides han probado poseer acción contra las neoplasias malignas, probablemente por sus efectos sobre la proliferacción y diferenciacción celulares y que las indicaciones primordiales en ellos en el campo de la oncología las constituyen la prevención de neoplasias malignas en sujeitos de alto riesgo y el tratamiento de tumores malignos en fases iniciales (en combinacción con la modalidades terapéuticas clásicas y, sobre todo, cuando se descubre inmunosupresión), siendo el futuro muy promisorio en este aspecto de investigacción a la medicina
