conferenceObject Effects of aerobic exercise training on obese female mice: metabolic and autonomic evaluation(2013) SARTORI, Michelle; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; SOUZA, Pamella Ramona de; SANTOS, Fernando; ANGELIS, Katia De; IRIGOYEN, Maria ClaudiaThe aim of this study was to evaluate the metabolic and autonomic parameters in trained youth obese mice. Female ob/ob mice (4 weeks old) were randomized into sedentary (OS, n=11) or trained (OT, n=8) (treadmill,5 days/w, 60 min/d, during 8 wks) groups. Blood glucose was measured by reagent strips. Blood pressure signals were recorded using a data acquisition system. The OT group had higher exercise capacity compared to the OS group. OT group had reduced body weight, white adipose tissue and blood glucose (45±2g, 6.1±1g and 133±3g mg/dL) compared to OS group (50±2g, 6.1±1g and 169±8 mg/dL). Exercise training improved glucose tolerance in trained group (OS: 27961±6501 vs. OT: 18258±6283 mg/dL/min). Mean arterial pressure and heart rate were similar between groups. The trained group showed increase in heart rate variability compared with sedentary group (OT: 50±12 vs. OS: 33±8ms2). Blood pressure variability and low frequency band were higher in OS group (23 ± 3mmHg2 and 7 ± 1 mmHg2) compared to OT (15 ± 2 mmHg2 and 5 ± 1 mmHg2). Moreover, the spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity, represented by alpha index, was lower in sedentary group (1.2 ± 0.3 ms/mmHg) compared to trained group (1.9 ± 0.2 ms/mmHg). In conclusion, our results suggest that physical training during lifespan can be effective inattenuating the increase in weight and blood glucose and improving blood pressure variability in obese mice.- Interval and continuous aerobic exercise training similarly increase cardiac function and autonomic modulation in infarcted mice (vol 13, pg 257, 2017)(2017) ABAD, Cesar Cavinato Cal; NASCIMENTO, Ademir Manuel do; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; FIGUEROA, Diego; RAMONA, Pamella; SARTORI, Michele; SCAPINI, Katia B.; ALBUQUERQUE, Oscar; MORAES-SILVA, Ivana Cinthya; COELHO-JUNIOR, Helio Jose; RODRIGUES, Bruno; MOSTARDA, Cristiano Teixeira; ANGELIS, Katia De; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia
- Acute renal denervation normalizes aortic function and decreases blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats(2020) MOREIRA, Nathalia Juocys Dias; SANTOS, Fernando dos; MOREIRA, Edson Dias; FARAH, Daniela; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; SILVA, Maikon Barbosa da; MORAES-SILVA, Ivana Cinthya; LINCEVICIUS, Gisele Silverio; CALDINI, Elia Garcia; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia CostaMechanisms involved in the acute responses to renal denervation (RDN) have yet to be fully understood. We assessed urinary volume, autonomic control and aorta vascular reactivity after acute RDN. Male normotensive Wistar rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were divided into normotensive+RDN (ND) or sham surgery (NS), and hypertensive+RDN (HD) or sham surgery (HS). Metabolic parameters and hemodynamic measurements were recorded 72h and 4 days after intervention, respectively. Aortic rings were studied 7 days post RDN in an isometric myograph. Concentration-response curves to phenylephrine, sodium nitroprusside and acetylcholine (10(-10)-10(-5) M) were performed. Two-way ANOVA was used for group comparisons and differences reported when p < 0.05. Results are presented as mean +/- SEM. Urinary volume was 112% higher in HD vs. HS (HS=14.94 +/- 2.5 mL; HD=31.69 +/- 2.2 mL) and remained unchanged in normotensive rats. Systolic BP was lower in HD rats (HS=201 +/- 12 vs. HD=172 +/- 3 mmHg) without changes in normotensive group. HD group showed increased HF and LF modulation (HS=5.8 +/- 0.7 ms(2) vs. HD=13.4 +/- 1.4 ms(2); HS=3.5 +/- 0.7 ms(2) vs. HD=10.5 +/- 1.7 ms(2), respectively). RDN normalized vascular reactivity in HD rats and increased phenylephrine response in ND rats. Acute fall in BP induced by RDN is associated with increased urinary volume, which in turn may also have contributed to functional changes of the aorta.
conferenceObject Reversal of Cardiac Remodeling After Surgical Intervention Leads to Distinct Cardiac Function Outcomes.(2017) JENSEN, Leonardo; SILVA, Amanda Almeida; OLIVEIRA, Nataly Cunha; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudio Costa- Alamandine attenuates arterial remodelling induced by transverse aortic constriction in mice(2019) SOUZA-NETO, Fernando Pedro de; SILVA, Mario de Morais e; SANTUCHI, Melissa de Carvalho; ALCANTARA-LEONIDIO, Thais Cristina de; MOTTA-SANTOS, Daisy; OLIVEIRA, Aline Cristina; MELO, Marcos Barrouin; CANTA, Giovanni Naves; SOUZA, Leandro Eziquiel de; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia Costa; CAMPAGNOLE-SANTOS, Maria Jose; GUATIMOSIM, Silvia; SANTOS, Robson Augusto Souza; SILVA, Rafaela Fernandes daAims: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of vascular diseases, especially as a mediator of inflammation and tissue remodelling. Alamandine (Ala(1)-angiotensin-(1-7)) is a new biologically active peptide from the RAS, interacting withMas-related G-protein-coupled receptor member D. Although a growing number of studies reveal the cardioprotective effects of alamandine, there is a paucity of data on its participation in vascular remodelling associated events. In the present study, we investigated the effects of alamandine on ascending aorta remodelling after transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in mice. Methods and results: C57BL/6J male mice were divided into the following groups: Sham (sham-operated), TAC (operated) and TAC+ALA (operated and treated with alamandine-HP beta CD (2-Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin), 30 mu g/kg/day, by gavage). Oral administration of alamandine for 14 days attenuated arterial remodelling by decreasing ascending aorta media layer thickness and the cells density in the adventitia induced by TAC. Alamandine administration attenuated ascending aorta fibrosis induced by TAC, through a reduction in the following parameters; total collagen deposition, expression collagen III and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) transcripts, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activity and vascular expression of MMP-2. Importantly, alamandine decreased vascular expression of proinflammatory genes as CCL2, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and was able to increase expression of MRC1 and FIZZ1, pro-resolution markers, after TAC surgery. Conclusion: Alamandine treatment attenuates vascular remodelling after TAC, at least in part, through anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects. Hence, this work opens new avenues for the use of this heptapeptide also as a therapeutic target for vascular disease.
