Os radicais livres de oxigênio e as doenças pulmonares

Abstract: Os radicais livres de oxigênio são moléculas que apresentam elétrons não pareados em sua órbita externa, capazes de transformar outras moléculas com as quais se encontram, como proteínas, carbohidratos, lípides e o ácido desoxirribonucleico. Essas moléculas são geradas em situações clínicas onde microambientes de hipóxia são seguidos por microambientes de reoxigenação. Nesse grupo estão o choque hemodinâmico, a septicemia, a resposta inflamatória sistêmica, as hepatites fulminantes, o transplante de órgãos, e … Show more

“…Moreover, in the lung tissue a peculiarity occurs: oxygen reaches the alveoli by two routes, perfusion and ventilation. This alveolar oxygen helps maintain aerobic metabolism and delays the occurrence of hypoxia 12 . This mechanism would tend to protect lung tissue from oxidative stress and delay the onset of damage, resulting in less need to produce antioxidant proteins compared to other tissue such as the intestine.…”

“…The fact that catalase did not suffer any change between the groups studied may have occurred probably because this enzyme is only activated or released when there is an excess in the concentration of H 2 O 2 , as in small quantities to glutathione peroxidase, which plays the role of transforming the peroxide hydrogen in water. This means that, in most cases, the presence of catalase is important to protect the organism, in cases of acute oxidative stress (Urbina et al 2004;Andrade Júnior et al 2005).…”

“…Andrade Júnior (2005) and Del Rio et al (2005) inferred that MDA is highly cytotoxic and genotoxic, and should be considered more than just a biomarker of oxidative damage, owing to its interaction with DNA and other proteins. High levels of MDA are routinely used as a way to detect oxidative stress in several human diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes, pulmonary diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer, which allow us to have funding for the research in animals (FERREIRA; MATSUBARA, 1997;ANDRADE JÚNIOR, 2005;PÉREZ et al, 2012). The most widely used technique for measuring MDA is the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay.…”
