Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases in humans differs in relation to the age of the patient. Although women suffer less than men from cardiovascular disorders during 15-55 years, after this period the incidence is equivalent in both sexes. This data suggests a cytoprotective effect of estrogens against cardiovascular disease. The estrogens, especially 17-beta-estradiol, are important antioxidant molecules with potential cytoprotective properties during oxidant/antioxidant disbalance induced by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is often the underlying mechanism during vascular alterations and cardiac damage. The present study evaluated the role of ovariectomy and/or 17-beta-estradiol administration on antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation during cardiac injury induced by adriamycin. Different parameters were measured, including hemodynamic response (arterial pressure and cardiac frequency), lipid peroxidation products (malondialdehyde), protein carbonylation, antioxidant status (reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase), and cardiac injury (creatinine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate and alanine aminotransferase). Our study showed that 17-beta-estradiol reduced all of the parameters related to oxidative stress and cardiac injury in ovariectomized rats treated with adriamycin.
