Resumo
Este estudo investigou os efeitos da lesão hipotalâmica induzida por glutamato monossódico (MSG) na programação do dimorfismo sexual em parâmetros somatométricos e propriedades biofísicas do osso durante a fase pré-pubere, púbere e adulto jovem. Além disto, nós avaliamos se a alteração hipotalâmica induzida por este modelo pode influenciar nos níveis séricos de leptina e corticosterona nestes animais. A lesão com MSG foi realizada por injeção subcutânea de glutamato monossódico (dose de 4 mg/g de peso corporal, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) em ratos neonatos no 2º, 4º, 6º, 8º e 10º dia de vida. Os grupos controle foram tratados da mesma forma utilizando solução salina 0,9%. Os ratos foram submetidos a eutanásia aos 20,40, 80, 120 e 150 dias de vida. O peso corporal foi mensurado aos 20, 40, 80, 120 e 150 dias de vida e amostras sanguíneas e fêmures foram coletados. O comprimento femural e a geometria crosseccional da diáfise femural foram medidos e a densidade mineral óssea areal (DMOa) foi determinada por densitômetro de dupla emissão de raio-X (DXA). O teste biomecânico de ensaio de flexão de três pontos foi utilizado para avaliar força máxima, rigidez óssea e tenacidade. Amostras sanguíneas foram submetidas a ensaios bioquímicos para estimar os níveis de cálcio, fósforo, fosfatase alcalina, leptina e corticosterona no plasma. Ganho de peso, DMOa e propriedades biomecânicas aumentam rapidamente com relação a idade de todos os grupos. Nos animais controle o dimorfismo sexual esquelético, concentração de leptina e padrões de dimorfismo sexual de corticosterona foram evidentes após a puberdade. No entanto, nós demonstramos que a destruição de neurônios sensíveis ao MSG pode eliminar a diferença sexual no desenvolvimento esquelético, visto...
This study investigated the effects of neonatal MSG-induced hypothalamic lesions on the programming of sexual dimorphism in somatometric parameters and the biophysical properties of bone during childhood, puberty, and adulthood. Furthermore, we evaluated whether hypothalamic changes induced by this model may influence leptin and corticosterone serum concentrations in these animals. MSG-lesion was performed by daily subcutaneous injections of monosodium glutamate (at a dose of 4 mg/g of body weight, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) to newborn rats at 2-nd, 4-th, 6-th, 8-th and 10-th day of life. The control groups were treated in the same manner with saline solution 0,9%. Rats were euthanized at 20, 40, 80, 120 or 150 postnatal days. Body weight was also measured at 20, 40, 80, 120 and 150 days of age, and blood samples and femurs were collected. The femur length and femoral diaphyseal cross-sectional geometry were measured and the areal bone mineral density (areal BMD) was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Biomechanical three-point bending testing was used to evaluate bone breaking strength, energy to fracture, and extrinsic stiffness. Blood samples were submitted to a biochemical assay to estimate calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, leptin, and corticosterone levels. Weight gain, areal BMD and bone biomechanical properties increased rapidly with respect to age in all groups. In control animals, skeletal sexual dimorphism, leptin concentration, and dimorphic corticosterone concentration patterns were evident after puberty. However, we demonstrated that destruction of MSG-sensitive neurons during the critical period of sexual differentiation of the brain causes a long-lasting modification in biophysical bone properties and serum leptin and corticosterone concentrations. This suggested that neonatal MSG treatment...
