摘要
Aging seems to be due to the accumulation of oxidative damage in cells and molecules. On the other hand, menopause and ovariectomy induce deleterious effects on different organs and systems that have been shown to be counteracted by estrogens and in a not so evident form also with phytoestrogens. The present study has investigated whether the administration of a commercial soy extract that contains similar to 10% isoflavones was able to modify some parameters related to oxidative stress and inflammation in hepatocytes isolated from old ovariectomized female Wistar rats. Eighteen 22-month-old animals that had been previously ovariectomized at 12 months of age were divided into four groups: ovariectomized control rats, estradiol-treated ovariectomized females and ovariectomized rats treated with isoflavones. Six intact female rats of 2 months of age were used as reference group. Hepatocytes were isolated and cultured, and carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) release, as well as adenosyl triphosphate (ATP), cyclic guanosyl monophosphate (cGMP), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lipid peroxide (LPO) content of cells were evaluated. Uterus was also removed and weighed. Hepatocytes isolated from old ovariectomized rats showed a decrease in ATP content as compared to young animals. Age also induced an increase in LPO cell content. NO, CO and cGMP were augmented with age, and PC synthesis showed a dramatic reduction. Treatment with either estradiol or isoflavones were able to improve all the mentioned parameters altered in hepatocytes isolated from old ovariectomized rats, and the magnitude of the improvement was similar for both treatments. Ovariectomy induced a significant reduction in uterine weight, which was significantly counteracted by estradiol treatment but not by isoflavone administration. In conclusion, the administration of a soy extract containing isoflavones seems to prevent oxidative changes in hepatocytes isolated from old ovariectomized female rats, without modifying uterus weight.
