RESUMO

Objetivo: Establecer la existencia de cambios bioquímicos y funcionales en la retina tras la administración crónica de etanol en ratas adultas, y estudiar la capacidad del antioxidante ebselen para corregir estos efectos. Métodos: Se utilizaron ratas macho Sprague-Dawley, que fueron alimentadas con una dieta líquida con etanol, mientras el grupo control recibió una dieta isocalórica libre de etanol. Después de seis semanas, los ojos fueron extraídos y homogenizados sin cristalino, y se determinaron parámetros relevantes en la modulación del estrés oxidativo, tales como el contenido de glutation (GSH) y de malondialdehído (MDA) como antioxidante intracelular y producto de la peroxidación de lípidos, respectivamente. Además, se comprobó la funcionalidad de la retina mediante electrorretinograma (ERG). Resultados: La concentración de MDA en la retina fue significativamente mayor en el grupo alimentado con etanol, mientras el contenido de GSH fue significativamente menor en este grupo, al compararlo con el grupo control. El etanol también indujo una disminución de la onda b del ERG. El tratamiento con ebselen fue capaz de corregir los valores de MDA, GSH y la amplitud de la onda b en el ERG hasta valores control. Conclusión: Estos resultados indican que la ingesta crónica de etanol como único factor etiológico, altera el estado redox de la retina así como su función (ERG), descartando la influencia del estado nutricional. Aun así, son necesarios nuevos estudios para confirmar el mecanismo protector del ebselen en este modelo del alcoholismo crónico


Purpose: To assess the involvement of biochemical and functional changes to the retina after chronic ethanol intake in adult rats, and the capacity of the antioxidant ebselen to prevent these changes. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the study. They were fed an ethanol-containing liquid diet, whereas a control group was given an ethanol-free isocaloric diet. After six weeks of experiment, the eyes were extracted and homogenized without the lens, and markers of oxidative stress were assayed, i.e., glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) as an intracellular antioxidant and a lipid peroxidation product, respectively. Moreover, retinal function was assessed by electroretinogram (ERG). Results: The retinal MDA concentration was significantly increased in the ethanol-fed animals compared to controls, whereas the GSH content was significantly reduced in the ethanol-fed group compared to controls. Ethanol also induced a decrease in ERG b-wave amplitude. Ebselen treatment restored the MDA and GSH concentrations and ERG bwave amplitude to control values. Conclusion: These results indicate that chronic alcohol consumption alone and without the influence of nutritional factors alters the retinal redox status as well as its function (ERG). Further studies are required to better understand the protective mechanism of ebselen in this experimental model of chronic alcoholism

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess the involvement of oxidative stress in optic nerves after chronic intake of ethanol in adult rats, when compared to animals fed with an ethanol-free isocaloric diet. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used throughout the study. They were fed an ethanol-containing liquid diet, whereas the pair-fed group was given an ethanol-free isocaloric diet. After six weeks of the experiment, optic nerves were extracted and markers of oxidative stress were assayed, i.e., antioxidants such as glutathione and lipid peroxidation products such as malondialdehyde (MDA). RESULTS: The GSH content in the optic nerves of ethanol-fed animals was significantly reduced, and the concentration of MDA was significantly higher in this group when compared with the pair-fed group. Time-course of body weight of animals in both groups varied identically throughout the six weeks of the experiment. CONCLUSION: The increase in lipid peroxidation products (MDA), together with the decrease in cellular antioxidants (GSH) confirm, in this experimental model, the involvement of oxidative stress in ethanol-induced toxicity of the optic nerves of rats. In view of the body weight time course, the influence of nutritional status on the parameters studied could also be discarded (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol 2002; 77: 263-268).

RESUMO

Objetivo: Establecer la existencia de estrés oxidativo en el nervio óptico después de la administración crónica de etanol en ratas adultas, en comparación con ratas alimentadas con dieta isocalórica libre de etanol. Métodos: Se utilizaron ratas macho de la raza Sprague-Dawley, que fueron alimentadas con una dieta líquida con etanol, mientras que el grupo control recibió una dieta isocalórica libre de etanol. Después de seis semanas, se extrajeron los nervios ópticos y se determinaron parámetros relevantes en la modulación del estrés oxidativo, tales como antioxidantes -contenido de glutatión (GSH)- además de productos derivados de la peroxidación lipídica -malondialdehído (MDA). Resultados: El contenido de GSH en el nervio óptico fue significativamente menor en el grupo alimentado con etanol, mientras que la concentración de MDA fue significativamente mayor en este grupo comparado con el grupo control. Los pesos de ambos grupos oscilaron de forma idéntica durante las seis semanas de experimento. Conclusiones: El incremento de los productos de peroxidación lipídica junto con el descenso de los antioxidantes celulares, confirman en este modelo experimental la implicación del estrés oxidativo en la toxicidad del etanol en el nervio óptico de rata, y descartan la influencia del estado nutricional sobre los parámetros estudiados (AU)
