Objective: To evaluate the effects of nandrolone decanoate on the electrocardiographic profile, glycogen content and total-protein profile of skeletal and cardiac muscles, as well as the plasma albumin concentrations. Methods: The drug was administered subcutaneously, at a concentration of 5 mg/kg, twice a week for three weeks, to animals in the treated group. Once a week, the rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, ip) and they underwent an electrocardiogram (ECG). After the trial period, samples of the cardiac muscle (left ventricle- LV), soleus muscle (S), white gastrocnemius muscle (WG), red gastrocnemius muscle (RG), pectoral muscle (P), intercostal muscle (IC) and diaphragm muscle (D) were promptly collected and analyzed. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) and then a Tukey test (p>0.05) were carried out to assess the data (mean ± sem). Res...

Wistar rats aged 3 to 4 months, weighing between 200 and 300g being kept under controlled conditions Biotery. The animals were divided into experimental group called control (C), denervated (D) treated with amino acid leucine in three doses 5nm(CL5), 1.25 mM (CL1,25) and 0.30mM(CL0,30), denervated treated with 0.30mM(DL0,30). Supplementation was performed by gavage and denervation was performed by sectioning the sciatic nerve. The analysis of the content of glycogen was performed on samples of the soleus(S), gastrocnemius white(GW) and red(GR). The muscle was lower in S glycogen (-33% and -42,8%), both in CL1,25 and CL5 and increased in a dose CL0,30(+38%), possibly due to act upon this low dose of insulin secretagogue, promoting an increase in the rate of glucose uptake by peripheral tissues (11,2± 0,3%/min C x 14,16 ± 0,2%/mi...

Studies suggest the development of central fatigue during activity, its correlation brain serotonin and leucine. Purpose of this study was to evaluate through tests of open field and elevated plus-maze, the behavior of rats supplemented with three different doses of leucine. Wistar rats were divided into groups: control (C), leucine 0.30mM/100g (L0,30), 1.25mM/100g (L1,25) and 5mM/100g (L5), supplemented via oral gavage. For statistical analysis, variance followed by Tukey test (p<0.05). The exploratory behavior was observed that rats L0,30 did not differ from C and the groups L1,25 and L5, showed a reduction. In the elevated plus-maze group C compared with L0,30 and L1,25 did not get the difference, the L5 group differed from the others. The results suggest the existence of physiological and behavioral changes related to supplementation with leucine.

Foram usados ratos Wistar com 18 meses divididos em dois grupos experimentais (n = 10), controle (C) e treinamento anaeróbio (Tana). Após o treinamento, os ratos foram anestesiados e amostras de sangue e músculos coletadas e enviadas para avaliação bioquímica. Os dados mostram maiores reservas glicogênicas no grupo Tana e indicam supercompensação com efeito predominante na musculatura dos membros posteriores; foram observados menor peso corporal e maior peso das adrenais acompanhado de maiores concentrações plasmáticas de proteínas totais. O conjunto de dados indicam que Tana propicia melhoria na homeostasia metabólica e na qualidade de vida.

A ação do cromo parece ter ação importante como coadjuvante nas dinâmicas da ação insulínica.OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil glicogênico, bem como a sensibilidade tecidual à insulina e a pancreática à glicose em ratos jovens e envelhecidos tratados com picolinato de cromo.MÉTODO: Foram utilizados ratos Wistar, com idade de 3 e 24 meses, distribuídos em quatro grupos experimentais (n = 6), assim denominados: jovens (J), jovens suplementados com picolinato de cromo (JP, 80 µg/Kg), envelhecidos (E) e envelhecidos suplementados com picolinato de cromo (EP, 80 µg/Kg). A sensibilidade à insulina foi avaliada através do teste de tolerância à insulina (ITT, 2 U/Kg) e a sensibilidade pancreática, através do teste de tolerância à glicose (GTT, 2 g/Kg).

An analysis of variance (ANOVA) and then a Tukey test (p>0.05) were carried out to assess the data (mean ± sem). Results: There were changes in the following parameters of rats in the treated group: QRS interval, QTc interval and heart rate, characterized by an increase in these parameters, with the peak being reached in the period between the pre-treatment week and the first week. There was an increase of 127% in glycogen reserves in the LV. In relation to the total-protein amount, the significant difference was found in S, RG and D. As for the hematocrit and biochemical profile, it was possible to notice an increase in the percentage of erythrocytes. The study shows that major cardiac changes are triggered at an early stage, which indicates a hierarchy in the sequence of changes that compromise the homeostasis of the body.
