Histomorfometria do tecido ósseo em ratas castradas tratadas com tibolona

Abstract: Introdução e objetivo: O efeito da tibolona utilizada em alta dose e por tempo prolongado foi analisado mediante estudo histomorfométrico de tíbias e fêmures de ratas castradas. Métodos: O experimento utilizou 20 ratas Wistar, com peso médio de 250 g. Os animais foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos: ooforectomizado recebendo tibolona (OVX + T) (n = 9), ooforectomizado (OVX) (n = 6) e grupo controle não ooforectomizado (C) (n = 5). Deu-se início ao protocolo experimental 30 dias após a ooforectomia,… Show more

“…One hundred and fifty days of treatment represent a prolonged period as it corresponds approximately to one sixth of an expected lifetime of a rat. The extension of our experimental protocol according to the ICH and OECD guidelines for chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies (Mutai 2000) was between subacute (2-13 weeks) and chronic (24-104 weeks) studies and was carried out to clarify possible toxicity the liver (data not shown) and potential deleterious effects on target organs by continuous exposure to tibolone (Pantaleã o et al 2009;Carvalho et al 2010;Henriques et al 2010a,b). The initial data clearly show the oestrogen effect of tibolone on the vagina evidenced by vaginal cytology showing only cornified epithelial cells similar to the oestrus phase.…”

“…Four measurements were made in each histological section, prioritizing the upper, lower, and lateral regions of each section. 12 To determine the thickness, cortical bone was measured from the periosteal surface to the endosteal surface using the properly calibrated IMAGE-Pro Plus program ( Figure 1A ). From this, the mean cortical thickness for each bone was calculated.…”

“…Foram efetuadas quatro medições em cada corte histológico, priorizando as regiões superior, inferior e lateral de cada corte. 12 Para determinar a espessura, o osso cortical foi medido desde a superfície periosteal até a superfície endosteal utilizando-se o programa IMAGE-Pro Plus adequadamente calibrado ( Figura 1A ). A partir disso, a espessura média da cortical para cada osso foi calculada.…”
