RESUMO

Background: Significant changes in lung antioxidants occur in preparation for birth. Little is known about physiological regulation of antioxidants in the postnatal period. Aim: To study the glutathione system in the lungs during postnatal development. Material and methods: In the lungs of 7, 15, 21, 50 and 70 days old Sprague-Dawley rats we measured total and oxidized glutathione content as well as the activity of the limiting enzyme in glutathione synthesis (y-GCS) and of the enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reducíase (GRd). Results: Between 7 and 15 days the activities of GPx and GRd increase 32 percent and 26 percent, respectively (p <0.001). Whereas GPx activity remains high throughout the rest of the study period, GRd activity decreases progressively reaching adulthood values at 7 days. y-GCS activity shows a gradual increase that reaches significance at 50 days when it doubles values observed at 7 days (p <0.05). A significant correlation was found between GPx and GRd activities over the entire period (r =0.62, p <0.0001). Strength of the correlation is age dependent due to the differences in time course of the enzyme changes. Whereas total GSH does not change, oxidized glutathione decreases from 7 percent at 7 and 15 days to 4 percent later on (p <0.01). Conclusions: The activity of several enzymes involved in glutathione metabolism increases during postnatal development of the rat lung. Interpretation of lung responses to injurious agents needs to be done taking into consideration the physiological regulation of antioxidants during postnatal development.

RESUMO

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar si es posible reproducir la prueba de caminata en 6 minutos (C6M) realizada en un corredor con la obtenida en cinta rodante (CR) en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC). Se estudió 27 pacientes con EPOC estable, edad 68 ± 8 años y VEF1 54 ± 16 por ciento teórico (X ± DE). La C6M se realizó en un corredor registrándose distintas variables fisiológicas. Para la aplicación en la CR se consideró la velocidad promedio de tres pruebas de caminata en el corredor. La distancia recorrida fue semejante en ambas situaciones. El grado de disnea y la SpO2 al final de la prueba también fue similar en las doscondiciones. En cambio la FC y el grado de fatiga fueron significativamente mayores. Estos resultados demuestran que la prueba de C6M puede ser reproducida en la CR, permitiendo medir la respuesta ventilatoria durante la prueba.
