چکیده
Purpose: Study the proliferation rate of jejunum and large intestine crypt epithelial cells, in rats pinealectomized immediately after borning. Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were distributed into two groups: Acute group (n=12) and Chronic group (n=12). Six animals of each group were operated for removal of the pineal gland (pinealectomy-PnX), and other six were controls (sham pinealectomy-C). Animals from acute and chronic group were sacrificed 15 and 90 days after the surgery, respectively. Results: In acute group, pinealectomy of new-born rats has not caused significant alteration in cell proliferation (PnX=58,77±1,77 and C=60,88±1,10 in the descending colon/ PnX=31,56±0,45 and C=31,73±0,47 in the proximal jejunum) and in crypt cell population (PnX=24,92±4,82 and C=23,60±2,48 in the descending colon/ PnX=39,92±3,49 and C=44,32±5,56 in the proximal jejunum). However, in chronic group there was an uprising crypt cell production per crypt in the proximal jejunum (PnX=57,54±2,19 and C=47,19±7,3)and in the descending colon (PnX=37,78±2,22 and C=17,92±2,28). Conclusion: As the increase of intestinal crypts epithelial cells in chronic group is a carcinogenesis predetermining factor, the understanding of the interaction between pineal gland and this event has great importance.

Os agonista dos PPARs lesam o Complexo I da cadeia de elétrons mitocondrial a NADH citocromo-c redutase provocando aumento da geração de radicais livres de oxigênio, lesão do DNAmt e diminuição da produção de ATP mitocondrial o que desvia o metabolismo para glicólise anaeróbia, motor da proliferação celular maligna. Este efeito de lesão do Complexo I é leve com os fibratos – agonistas alfa (clo...

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: As doenças congênitas do coração atingem 0,8% dos recém-nascidos (RN) vivos, sendo que muitos necessitam de correção cirúrgica ainda no período neonatal. A cirurgia cardíaca com circulação extracorpórea (CEC), nesta faixa etária, associa-se a maior incidência de complicações, devido à imaturidade funcional da criança, à falta de equipamentos de CEC que sejam totalment...
