Perfil lipídico sérico de ratos tratados com surfactante / Serum lipid levels of rats treated with surfactant

A aterosclerose é uma doença multifatorial, lenta e progressiva e a hiperlipidemia um dos fatores potenciais no desenvolvimento de doenças cardíacas ateroscleróticas. As vantagens da indução das dislipidemias experimentais são a produção de lesões ateromatosas em curto espaço de tempo; adequado controle dietético e fatores ambientais; a possibilidade de estudos sobre a reversibilidade de lesões ateroscleróticas e ensaios pré-clínicos de substâncias hipolipidêmicas. Este estudo visou avaliar o perfil lipídico sérico de ratos tratados com surfactante. Foram utilizados 28 ratos Wistar, machos, albinos, adultos e hígidos. Estes foram distribuídos em quatro grupos experimentais formados por sete animais cada, a saber: Grupo I (controle); Grupo II tratado com tyloxapol, na dose de 500 mg/kg de peso corporal, via intraperitoneal a cada 48 horas, durante duas semanas; Grupo III tratado com tyloxapol na dose de 500 mg/kg de peso corporal, via intraperitoneal a cada 48 horas, durante três semanas; Grupo IV tratado com tyloxapol na dose de 500 mg/kg de peso corporal, via intraperitoneal a cada 48 horas, durante quatro semanas. Na avaliação do perfil lipídico, os valores de triacilgliceróis e HDL demonstraram que o grupo III diferiu significativamente do grupo I e os valores de colesterol total e LDL indicaram que o grupo I diferiu significativamente dos grupos II, III e IV. Conclui-se que o surfactante tyloxapol foi efetivo na indução da hiperlipidemia.Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial, progressive and slow disease, and hyperlipidaemia is one of the potential factors in

the development of atherosclerotic cardiac diseases. The experimental dyslipidaemia carrying out advantages are the production of atheromatous lesions in a short period of time, an adequate dietetic control and environmental factors, the possibility of studies concerning reversibility of atherosclerotic lesions, and pre-clinic experiments with hypolipidaemic substances. This study aims at evaluating tyloxapol analyzing serum lipid levels. Twenty-eight healthy Wistar adults albino male rats, weighing an average of 200 g were utilized. They were distributed into four experimental groups with seven animals each, as follows: Group I (control); Group II treated with tyloxapol at a dose of 500mg/kg of body weight, through intraperitoneal via each 48 hours, for two weeks; Group III - treated with tyloxapol at a dose of 500mg/ kg of body weight, through intraperitoneal via each 48 hours, for three weeks; Group IV - treated with tyloxapol at a dose of 500mg/kg of body weight, through intraperitoneal via each 48 hours, for four weeks. As lipid profile evaluation is concerned, the values of triacylglycerols and HDL have indicated that group III has significantly differed from group I and the values of total cholesterol and LDL have indicated that group I has significantly differed from group II, III and IV. It was concluded that for the studied period the surfactant tyloxapol was effective to inducing hyperlipidaemia.(AU)
