Influência do bloqueador de receptor de angiotensina (Losartana potássica) na função renal e pressão arterial em cães GRMD

Abstract: A distrofia muscular de Duchenne (DMD) é uma alteração neuromuscular caracterizada por contínua necrose muscular e degeneração, com eventual fibrose e infiltração por tecido adiposo. O aumento progressivo da fibrose intersticial no músculo impede a migração das células miogênicas, necessárias para a formação muscular. O modelo canino constitui-se nas melhores fenocópias da doença em humanos, quando comparados com outros modelos animais com distrofia. O tratamento antifibrose de pacientes DMD, tendo como alvo o… Show more

“…In DMD patients, losartan potassium is used as an anti-fibrosis treatment because of its inhibition of TGF-beta due to the fact that it is an angiotensin inhibitor, and DMD patients may often present with increased levels of potassium, urea and creatinine. However, the use of losartan potassium in DGR administered orally at a dose of 50mg for nine weeks did not influence renal function, serum potassium level or blood pressure (SILVA et al, 2009).…”

“…GRDM dogs have been extensively studied and have led to a better understanding of the condition for research on DMD in humans, especially in the experimental evaluation of new treatments in preclinical trials (COLLINS & MORGAN, 2003;SHELTON & ENGVALL, 2005;BANKS & CHAMBERLAIN, 2008;SILVA et al, 2009;NAKAMURA & TAKEDA, 2011). Both DMD and DGR present progressive clinical signs and severe myopathy with initial fiber necrosis and regeneration associated with connective tissue proliferation in the endomysium and perimysium (VALENTINE et al, 1990,;MIJAZATO et al, 2011b;KORNEGAY et al, 2012).…”

“…É de caráter recessivo e causada pela ausência ou disfunção da distrofina, proteína encontrada numa variedade de tecidos, principalmente nas musculaturas esquelética e cardíaca, nervos e regiões específicas do sistema nervoso central (Ambrosio et al 2009, Silva et al 2009). Clinicamente, caracteriza-se por grave alteração na musculatura esquelética, resultando em morte precoce do indivíduo acometido (Anderson et al 2002, Childers et al 2002, Hainsey et al 2003.…”

“…Originally, losartan, an ANG II type-1 (AT 1 )-receptor antagonist was used for the treatment of hypertension, and has been recently studied for its varied effects in different animal models (Hashimoto et al 1999, Suzuki et al 2001, Kumari et al 2004, Silva et al, 2009.…”
