Resumo
A osteoporose é uma doença crônica que afeta principalmente mulheres na pós-menopausa, e caracteriza-se por perda de massa óssea e deterioração da arquitetura do tecido ósseo, sendo considerada como um sério problema de saúde pública. A Terapia de Reposição Hormonal (TRH) é talvez o tratamento mais efetivo para reduzir a perda óssea, no entanto vem acompanhada por efeitos adversos como o aumento do risco de câncer de mama e de endométrio. Terapias alternativas, como a ingestão de isoflavonas, vêm sendo propostas a fim de se prevenir a osteoporose. As isoflavonas, um tipo de fitoestrógeno, parecem desenvolver atividade biológica parecida com a dos estrógenos de mamíferos, pois apresentam habilidade para se ligarem aos receptores estrogênicos. Além disso, estudos em animais e em humanos têm mostrado que as isoflavonas vêm se constituindo numa alternativa interessante para o controle do metabolismo lipídico e da obesidade. Além das isoflavonas, uma das possíveis maneiras de se prevenir a perda óssea é por meio da ingestão de quantidades adequadas de cálcio, um dos componentes dietéticos de maior importância para a manutenção da integridade óssea. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o efeito da ingestão do iogurte de soja, fermentado com Enterococcus faecium e Lactobacillus jugurti, suplementado com isoflavonas e cálcio sobre o peso corpóreo e tecido ósseo de ratas maduras ovariectomizadas. Os animais foram divididos em 5 grupos, cada qual com 9 animais: pseudo-ovariectomizado, ovariectomizado; ovariectomizado que ingeriu o produto fermentado suplementado com isoflavonas e cálcio, ovariectomizado que ingeriu o produto fermentado suplementado com cálcio e ovariectomizado que ingeriu placebo suplementado com cálcio. O tratamento durou 3 meses e foram utilizados tíbias e fêmures de cada animal para... .
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that affects mainly postmenopausal women, and it is characterized by bone loss and deterioration of the bone tissue architecture, and it considered a serious problem of public health. The Hormonal Replacement Therapy Hormonal (HRT) is the most effective treatment to reduce the bone loss, however it may be associated with adverse effects as the increase of the risk of endometrium and breast cancer. Alternative therapies, as intake of isoflavones, have being proposed to prevent the osteoporosis. Isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogens, seem to have biological activity like the mammals estrogens, because they present ability to bind to the estrogens receptors. Moreover, studies in animals and in human have shown that isoflavones may be an interesting alternative for the control of the lipidic metabolism and the obesity. On the other hand, the intake of adequate amounts of calcium, one of the dietary components of bigger importance for the maintenance of the bone integrity, is also considerate to be able to prevent the bone loss. Then, the objective of this research was to study the effect of the intake of the soy yoghurt, fermented with Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus jugurti, supplemented with isoflavones and calcium on the corporal weight and bone tissue of ovariectomized mature rats. The animals had been divided in 5 groups, each one with 9 animals: sham-ovariectomized, ovariectomized; ovariectomized treated with soy yoghurt supplemented with isoflavones and calcium, ovariectomized treated with soy yoghurt supplemented with calcium and ovariectomized treated with placebo supplemented with calcium. The treatment lasted 3 months and the tibia and femur of each animal were used for following analysis: bone length; mechanical assay of three points; weight, volume and bone density; bone mineral content; bone...
