Resumo
Os ossos são compostos por um tipo mineralizado de tecido conjuntivo, constituído principalmente pelos elementos químicos cálcio (Ca) e fósforo (P) que se organizam formando cristais de hidroxiapatita. Patologias ou condições que afetem o tecido podem alterar a quantificação destes elementos e consequentemente a composição estequiométrica da hidroxiapatita. Estudos recentes sugerem que, tanto o alcoolismo crônico, quanto a deficiência estrogênica, podem afetar os ossos em geral, inclusive o osso alveolar, e aumentar a suscetibilidade do indivíduo à progressão da doença periodontal. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar possíveis alterações na relação Ca/P, na região da crista óssea alveolar, em ratas submetidas ao alcoolismo crônico e/ou a deficiência estrogênica induzida por ovariectomia. Cinquenta e quatro ratas, (Rattus norvegicus, variação albinus, Wistar), foram inicialmente divididas em dois grupos: ovariectomizadas (Ovz) ou Sham operadas. Um mês após as cirurgias, os grupos foram subdivididos, de acordo com a dieta, e receberam os seguintes tratamentos: a) álcool a 20% b) dieta isocalórica e c) dieta livre. Oito semanas depois do início do tratamento dietético, os animais foram sacrificados e as mandíbulas removidas. As amostras foram cortadas no sentido longitudinal, na região da crista óssea alveolar, entre o primeiro e o segundo molar, para verificação das concentrações de Ca, P e da relação Ca/P mediante a utilização de um espectrofotômetro de microfluorescência de raios-X (EDX). Os dados obtidos pela espectrometria foram avaliados pela análise de variância (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey com nível de significância de 5%. Os grupos com dieta livre apresentaram os maiores valores médios na relação Ca/P, e os com controle dietético, os menores. O grupo Ovz dieta livre foi o que mais ganhou peso, mais consumiu ração...
Bones are composed of mineralized tissue constituting mainly of calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P). These elements are organised forming crystals of hydroxyapatite. Some conditions or pathologies affecting this tissue, may alter the quantitative distribution (or presence) of these elements; and consequently the stoichiometric composition of hydroxyapatite. Recent studies suggest that chronic alcoholism as well as estrogenic deficiencies may affect bones in general (including alveolar bone), and in doing so increases individuals’ susceptibility in developing progressive periodontal disease. The main objective of this research was to verify possible alterations in Ca/P ratios (in the alveolar bone crest region), in laboratory rats subjected to chronic alcoholism and/or estrogen deficiency induced by ovariectomy. Fifty four rats (Rattus norvegicus, of the albinus, Wistar variety), were initially divided into two groups: ovariectomized (Ovz), and Sham operated (Sham). A month after surgery the two groups were sub-divided (according to their diet), and received the following dietary intervention: (a) alcohol at 20%, (b) isocaloric diet and (c) free diet. Eight weeks after the commencement of the dietetic treatment, the animals were sacrificed and their jaws removed. Samples were then cut in a longitudinal direction, in the alveolar bone crest region (between the first and second molar), in order to verify Ca and P concentrations and Ca/P ratios using microfluorescence X ray spectrometry (EDX). Data obtained with spectrometry were evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey tests with significance levels of 5%. The free diet groups presented the highest average values of Ca/P ratios, and the groups with diet restrictions presented the smallest average values. The Ovz free diet group was the group with the greatest weight gain, a greater consumption of food volume and presented... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
