ABSTRACT

We have previously demonstrated that both n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-rich diets decrease the acute inflammatory response partially explained by the high corticosterone basal levels. The present study aimed to determine the effect of hyperlipidic diets (PUFA n-3 or n-6) on phagocytosis, hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and nitric oxide (NO) release by macrophages, bradykinin (BK) and NO release in the paw inflammatory perfusate and Kallikrein (KK), corticosterone and leptin blood levels. Hyperlipidic diets decreased H(2)O(2) release from macrophages stimulated by carrageenan or phorbol-miristate-acetate (PMA), NO release from macrophage stimulated by carrageenan, BK and NO release in the edema perfusate, KK plasma levels and the increase of serum leptin after carrageenan stimulus. These data show that both fish and soybean oil-rich diets promote similar alterations on inflammatory mediators of carrageenan edema and a causal association with the anti-inflammatory effect of these diets.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de dietas hiperlipídicas, ricas em ácidos graxos poliisaturados (AGP) dos tipos n-3 ou n-6, sobre a fagocitose, produção de 11201 óxido nítrico (NO) por macrófagos, liberação de bradicinina (BK), NO e interleucinas (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-4 e IIL-10 no perfusato inflamatório e concentração sangüínea de calicreína (KK), corticosterona e leptina e interleucinas. Ratos machos Wistar (60-70 g) foram alimentados com dieta padrão (grupo controle), dieta padrão enriquecida com 15 por cento de óleo de peixe (rico em AGP n-3) (grupo peixe) ou óleo de soja (rico em AGP n-6) (grupo soja). Depois de sete semanas de tratamento com as respectivas dietas, o edema de pata foi induzido pela administração intraplantar de carragenina (0,1 mg) e a liberação local de BK, NO e ILs foi determinada, da 1ª à 2ª hora e da 2ª à 3ª hora após a administração da carragenina. Também foram determinadas, em diferentes momentos após a administração de carragenina, as concentrações plasmáticas de corticosterona, calicreína, leptina e séricas de Ils e catecolaminas. Também determinou-se a fagocitose, liberação de NO e H2O2 por macrófagos pré estimulados ou não com carragenina e a liberação de NO no exsudato peritoneal de ratos que receberam carragenina i.p. Em relação ao grupo controle observamos nos grupos lipídicos redução da liberação de H202 pelos macrófagos estimulados com carragenina ou acetato de phorbol miristato (PMA), da liberação de NO por macrófagos peritoneais estimulados com carragenina, da liberação de BK e NO no perfusato do edema de carragenina e menor concentração plasmática de KK, após estímulo com carragenina. Estas observações, provavelmente colaboram para a redução da resposta inflamatória aguda nos grupos lipídicos. Ocorreu aumento de leptina durante o desenvolvimento do edema de carragenina, porém nos grupos lipídicos esse aumento foi menor do que no controle, o que poderia indicar um papel…(au)

ABSTRACT

We have previously shown that both n-3 (fish oil) and n-6 (soybean oil) PUFA-rich diets reduce carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. The present study evaluated the role of corticosteroids, and the effect of indomethacin on this response. Basal (pre-carrageenan) levels of corticosterone were elevated in both lipid diets compared to the chow diet. During inflammation, corticosterone levels increased to a similar extent in the chow and lipid diets. With 2.0 mg/kg indomethacin, edema was reduced in the chow diet and the n-3 diet, while it was not changed in the n-6 diet. In contrast, the 16.6 mg/kg dose of indomethacin induced a mild increase in edema in the chow diet but a pronounced edema increase in the lipid diets. The increase in corticosterone levels induced by carrageenan was either reduced (chow) or completely abolished (lipids) by the treatment with the higher dose of indomethacin, compared to both the control (untreated) group, and the lower dose of indomethacin. These data indicate that both acute inflammation and the response to an antiinflammatory drug were attenuated by n-3 or n-6 PUFA-rich diets. They also showed that indomethacin can have anti- or proinflammatory properties reflecting the extent of the corticosterone inhibition by indomethacin.
