Glucemia, insulinemia y secreción de insulina en ratas prepúberes hiperandrogenizadas e hiperestrogenizadas Glycemia, insulinemia and insulin secretion in prepubescent rats receiving high doses of androgens and strogens

Se estudió el efecto de una sobredosis de enantato de testosterona y de benzoato de estradiol en ratas machos prepúberes, sobre el comportamiento de la glucemia y la insulinemia in vivo, durante una prueba de tolerancia a la glucosa. Adicionalmente se exploró, in vitro, la capacidad de secreción de insulina estimulada por glucosa de los islotes de Langerhans de estas ratas hiperandrogenizadas e hiperestrogenizadas. Se encontró que la hiperandrogenización se acompañaba de un deterioro de la sensibilidad a la insulina, con hiperinsulinemia, que no se corresponde con un aumento de la capacidad de secreción de insulina de los islotes de Langerhans. Sin embargo, se comprobó que la hiperestrogenización no indujo cambios en los perfiles de glucemia, ni de insulinemia, ni en la capacidad de secreción de insulina de los islotes de Langerhans de este grupo de ratas hiperestrogenizadas.<br>The effect of an overdose of testosterone heptanoate and estradiol in male prepubescent rats on the behavior of glycemia and insulinemia was studied in vivo during a glucose tolerance test. The capacity of insulin secretion stimulated by glucose from the islets of Langerhans of these rats that were administered a high dose of androgens and estrogens was explored in vitro. It was found that the high level of circulating androgens was accompanied by a deterioration of sensitivity to insulin with hyperinsulinemia that does not correspond to an increase of the insulin secreting capacity of the islets of Langerhans. However, it was demonstrated that the high level of circulating estrogens did not produce changes either in the glycemia and insulinemia profiles or in the insulin secreting capacity of the islets of Langerhans in this group of rats that received an elevated dose of estrogens

Glucemia, insulinemia y secreción de insulina en ratas hembras prepúberes hiperandrogenizadas e hiperestrogenizadas Glycemia, insulinemia and secretion of insulin in hyperandrogenized and hyperestrogenized prepuberal rats

En trabajos publicados previamente, realizados con distintos modelos experimentales de ratas, se halló una asociación entre la hiperandrogenización y la resistencia a la insulina caracterizada por hiperinsulinismo que, en ocasiones, se acompañaba de un deterioro de la tolerancia a la glucosa. Para obtener información adicional sobre el efecto de los esteroides sexuales sobre los mecanismos de regulación de la glucemia, se estudió el efecto de la administración de dosis altas de enantato de testosterona y de benzoato de estradiol en ratas hembras prepúberes, sobre el comportamiento de la glucemia y la insulinemia in vivo, durante una prueba de tolerancia a la glucosa. Adicionalmente se exploró in vitro, la capacidad de secreción de insulina estimulada por glucosa de los islotes de Langerhans de estas ratas hiperandrogenizadas e hiperestrogenizadas. Se encontró que la hiperandrogenización se acompañaba de un estado de resistencia a la insulina caracterizado por hiperinsulinemia, que se correspondía con un aumento de la capacidad de secreción de insulina de los islotes de Langerhans. Sin embargo, la hiperestrogenización de estas ratas prepúberes hembras no produjo cambios en los perfiles de la glucemia, de la insulinemia ni en la capacidad de secreción de insulina de los islotes de Langerhans estimulados con concentraciones de glucosa cercanos al rango fisiológico. Se concluyó que en este modelo experimental la hiperandrogenización produce un deterioro de la sensibilidad a la insulina.In previously published studies conducted with different experimental models of rats, it was found an association between hyperandrogenization and insulin resistance characterized by hyperinsulinism that, on occasions, was accompanied by glucose tolerance deterioration. To obtain additional information on the effect of sexual steroids on the glycemia regulation mechanisms, it was studied the effect of the administration of high doses of testosterone enanthate and of estradiol benzoato in prepuberal rats on the behavior of glycemia and insulinemia in vivo during a glucose tolerance test. Besides, it was explored in vitro the capacity of the islets of Langerhans of these hyperandrogenized and hyperestrogenized rats for secreting insulin stimulated by glucose. It was found that hyperandrogenization was accompanied by a state of insulin resistance characterized by hyperinsulinemia that corresponded to an increase of the capacity of the islets of Langerhans to secrete insulin. However, the hyperestrogenization of these prepuberal rats did not produce changes either in the profiles of glycemia and insulinemia or in the capacity of the islets of Langerhans to secrete insulin stimulated by glucose concentrations near the physiological range. It was concluded that hyperandrogenization produces a deterioration of sensitivity to insulin in this experimental model

El teatro infantil como estrategia pedagógica para el fortalecimiento de las habilidades básicas comunicativas en los estudiantes del grado primero D de la Escuela Normal Superior Lácides Iriarte - Sahagún Córdoba /

Un CD Rom (1.0 MB) : 68 páginas ; figuras, tablas ; 12 cmEl presente documento, aborda una problemática centrada en el desarrollo de habilidades comunicativas en estudiantes de primer grado, por lo que se propuso como objetivo general, implementar el teatro infantil como estrategia pedagógica para fortalecer las habilidades comunicativas básicas en los estudiantes del grado primero D de la Escuela Normal Superior Lácides Iriarte de Sahagún Córdoba. La metodología estuvo basada en una investigación de tipo cualitativo, con enfoque de investigación acción (IA); las técnicas de recolección de información fueron la observación, las entrevistas y la rúbrica evaluativa. Los resultados revelaron que los estudiantes sienten una especial atención hacia la representación de roles y el juego, les gusta escuchar cuentos, canciones y hablar con sus amigos. Partiendo de ello, se realizó una propuesta titulada “El Teatro infantil en la Normal Superior”, conformada de tres actividades: Vamos a Leer, Veamos y escuchemos con atención, construyendo el libreto y Manos a la obra. Finalmente, las conclusiones señalan que el teatro es una estrategia que sirve de gran utilidad para fomentar las habilidades comunicativas de los estudiantes, y que es determinante dentro de las instituciones educativas que se impulse el desarrollo de actividades teatrales para favorecer esta competencia.

Modulation of the Activities of Catalase, Cu-Zn, Mn Superoxide Dismutase, and Glutathione Peroxidase in Adipocyte from Ovariectomised Female Rats with Metabolic Syndrome

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between estrogen removal, antioxidant enzymes, and oxidative stress generated by obesity in a MS female rat model. Thirty two female Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: Control (C), MS, MS ovariectomized (Ovx), and MS Ovx plus estradiol (E2). MS was induced by administering 30% sucrose to drinking water for 24 weeks. After sacrifice, intra-abdominal fat was dissected; adipocytes were isolated and lipid peroxidation, non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity, and the activities of Cu-Zn and Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were determined. There were no significant differences in the activities of Cu-Zn, Mn SOD, CAT, and GPx between the C and MS groups, but in the MS Ovx group there was a statistically significant decrease in the activities of these enzymes when compared to MS and MS Ovx+E2. The increased lipid peroxidation and nonenzymatic antioxidant capacity found in MS Ovx was significantly decreased when compared to MS and MS Ovx+E2. In conclusion, the removal of E2 by ovariectomy decreases the activity of the antioxidant enzymes in the intra-abdominal tissue of MS female rats; this is reflected by increased lipid peroxidation and decreased nonenzymatic antioxidant capacity

Intra-Abdominal Fat Adipocyte Hypertrophy through a Progressive Alteration of Lipolysis and Lipogenesis in Metabolic Syndrome Rats

This study evaluates the progressive participation of enzymes involved in lipolysis and lipogenesis, leading to adipocyte hypertrophy in a metabolic syndrome (MS) rat model caused by chronic consumption of 30% sucrose in drinking water. A total of 70 male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: C and MS. Each of these groups were then subdivided into five groups which were sacrificed as paired groups every month from the beginning of the treatment until 5 months. The intra-abdominal fat was dissected, and the adipocytes were extracted. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), protein kinases A (PKA), and perilipin A expressions were determined. The LPL and HSL activities were evaluated by spectrophotometry. Histological staining was performed in adipose tissue. Significant increases were observed in blood pressure, HOMA-IR, leptin, triglycerides, insulin, intra-abdominal fat, and number of fat cells per field (p = 0.001) and in advanced glycosylation products, adipocyte area, LPL, HSL activities and/or expression (p &le; 0.01) in the MS groups progressively from the third month onward. Lipogenesis and lipolysis were increased by LPL activity and HSL activity and/or expression. This was associated with hyperinsulinemia and release of non-esterified fatty acids causing a positive feedback loop that contributes to the development of adipocyte hypertrophy
