Análise tecidual e celular das brânquias de Oreochromis niloticus L. tratadas com extrato etanólico bruto e frações das folhas da pitanga (Eugenia uniflora L.) - Myrtaceae

Abstract: RESUMO:Eugenia uniflora L. (Myrtaceae) é uma planta que ocorre no bioma Cerrado e é utilizada popularmente no tratamento de diarréias, inflamações, hiperglicemia e hipertensão. Estudos prévios revelaram atividade antimicrobiana da E. uniflora in vitro. Tendo em vista o uso popular, este trabalho objetivou avaliar as possíveis atividades celulares e teciduais sistêmicas do extrato bruto e das frações das folhas dessa planta em brânquias de Oreochromis niloticus L. (tilápia nilótica). Para isso, o extrato etanól… Show more

“…Therefore, these structural alterations to the gills of C. macropomum were caused by the toxicity of the essential oil of L. alba and were boosted by the diluent of this essential oil. Similar action by different diluents has been described in relation to Heteropneustes fossilis exposed to an extract from Azadirachta indica (Kumar et al, 2010) and in relation to O. niloticus exposed to an extract from Eugenia uniflora (Fiuza et al, 2011).…”

“…In this study, fish exposed to 100 and 150 mg/L of the essential oil of L. alba for 30 min showed low efficacy against monogenoideans but also Table 5 Mean alteration value (MAV) and histopathological alteration index (HAI) of the gills of Colossoma macropomum exposed to the essential oil of Lippia alba. there were severe structural alterations to the gills, which are organs that participate in respiration, osmoregulation and excretion in fish (Fiuza et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2010). Moreover, intense parasitism by monogenoideans and by I. multifiliis was observed in all the treatments, which also influenced the tissue integrity of the gills.…”

“…Fish gills are organs responsible for the breathing, osmoregulation and excretion in fish (Fiuza et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2010), (C) Monogenoidean (*) and regions with epithelium hyperplasia with lamellar fusion (arrows), in the gill from the control treatment with water. (D) Epithelium hyperplasia generalized with regions of lamellar fusion and detachment of the lamellar epithelium in the gills of fish exposed to 20 mg/L.…”

“…Lesões semelhantes foram observadas quando as tilápias foram expostas a agentes tóxicos, como a amônia (Benli & Köksal, 2005;Benli et al, 2008), o cádmio (Garcia-Santos et al, 2007), quando em deficiência de vitamina C (Leonardo et al, 2001), e quando tratadas com extrato e frações da Eugenia uniflora L.
