Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq The elevate production of reactive species over physiological levels and associated to pathogenic bacteria could represent a high risk for many diseases. The high levels of oxidative stress and inflammation can be present in the etiology of gastrointestinal pathologies associated with ethanol ingestion, and sometimes with implication in liver or brain. Peptic ulcer includes gastric and intestinal damage that affect many people around the world and its development is a result of the imbalance between aggressive and protective factors. The Rosmarinus officinalis L., more commonly known as rosemary in Europe and as alecrim in Brazil, has exhibited several physiological and medicinal activities against some diseases mainly due its phenolic compounds. So in this thesis, the aim was to perform analyzes in vitro and ex vivo on the antioxidant properties of the ethanolic extract of Rosmarinus officinalis L. (eeRo) and its fractions (DCM, EA, ButOH), and about their antibacterial activities and the possible applicability of eeRo on gastrointestinal protection. The eeRo was obtained from the dried leaves (40ºC) subjected to an alcoholic extraction in the soxhlet apparatus. The eeRo was separately to dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and butanol in a separator funnel to get DCM, EA and ButOH fractions, respectively. The quantification of constituents of eeRo and its fractions were made by HPLC–DAD. The eeRo and its fractions were tested in the DPPH•- radical scavenging, total antioxidant capacity assays without tissues and they were tested in sodium nitroprusside-induced lipid peroxidation and H2DCF-DA in liver, brain and stomach of male adult wistar rats. The eeRo and its fractions were analyzed in bacteria minimum inhibitory concentration assay. Besids, eeRo and its fractions were tested in ethanol-induced gastric and intestinal lesions models. After application of these models and pretreatment with eeRo the dichlorofluorescein fluorescence, lipid peroxidation, ratio of GSH/GSSG, superoxide dismutase activity, catalase activity, myeloperoxidase activity assays were performed in stomach and intestine. Moreover, the measurement of nitrite and nitrate levels, ulcer index and histopathology tests were made only in stomach. The Na+/K+ ATPase activity was measured only in intestine. The eeRo, DCM, EA had significant total antioxidant effect and DPPH•- radical scavenging activity in vitro. The DCM and eeRo got antioxidant effects against basal levels of reactive species in the liver, stomach and brain. The eeRo and DCM protected the liver and brain against lipid peroxidation induced by sodium nitroprussiate. The eeRo, DCM, EA and ButOH had inhibitory effect in the gram (+) and gram (-) bacteria. However, the eeRo and DCM, had the lower minimum inhibitory concentration.The eeRo, after in vivo treatment protected stomach and intestine against the lipid peroxidation and they increased the CAT activity. The eeRo prevented the reduction in Na+/K+ ATPase and cased the increase of superoxide dismutase activity in intestine. In addition, eeRo reduced the myeloperoxidase activity in stomach and intestine. The results of this tese suggest that the eeRo, in general way, represented the better option as agent against oxidative stress in vitro, ex vivo e mainly in the prevention of gastrointestinal lesions in association to anti-inflamatory or vasodilatory mechanisms. A produção de espécies reativas acima dos níveis fisiológicos representa um alto risco para o surgimento de muitas patologias. Neste contexto, o estresse oxidativo e a inflamação podem estar presentes na etiologia de patologias gastrointestinais, como a úlcera péptica, associadas a ingestão de etanol, e por vezes, apresentam implicações hepáticas e neurais. A úlcera péptica é composta por danos gastrointestinais os quais afetam muitas pessoas em todo o mundo e seu desenvolvimento é resultado do desequilíbrio entre os fatores de proteção e agressão gástricos. A Rosmarinus officinalis L. é popularmente conhecida pelas suas propriedades medicinais em várias patologias, principalmente devido a presença de compostos fenólicos em sua composição. Assim, nesta tese o objetivo foi realizar análises in vitro e ex vivo sobre as propriedades antioxidantes do extrato etanólico de Rosmarinus officinalis L. (eeRo) e suas frações (DCM, EA, ButOH), além de investigar as suas atividades antibacterianas e a possível aplicabilidade do eeRo na proteção gastrointestinal. O eeRo foi obtido a partir de folhas secas (40ºC) e submetidas a uma extração alcóolica em aparelho de soxhlet. O eeRo foi separado por diclorometano, acetato de etila a butanol em um funil de separação para obter as frações DCM, EA e ButOH, respectivamente. A quantificação dos constituintes do eeRo e suas frações foi realizada por HPLC–DAD. O eeRo e suas frações foram testados como “scaveging” de radical DPPH•- e sobre capacidade antioxidante total sem a utilização de tecido e em ensaios de peroxidação lipídica induzida por nitroprussiato de sódio e fluorescência de diclorofluorsceína em fígado, cérebro e estômago de ratos adultos machos. O eeRo e suas frações foram testados no ensaio de concentração inibitória mínima em bactérias. Além disso, o eeRo e suas frações foram analizados em modelos de lesão gástrica e intestinal. Após a aplicação desses modelos e o prévio tratamento com eeRo foram realizados os ensaios de fluorescência de dilorofluorceína diacetato, peroxidação lipídica, taxa de GSH/GSSG, atividade da superóxido dismutase, catalase e mieloperoxidase em estômago e intestino de ratos. Além disso, foram mensurados os níveis de nitrito e nitrato, índice de ulceração além da realização de testes histopatológicas apenas em estômago. A atividade da Na+/K+-ATPase foi mensurada apenas em intestino. Os eeRo, DCM, EA tiveram, in vitro, efeito antioxidante total e “scavenging” de radical DPPH•-. O eeRo e a DCM apresentaram efeito antioxidante contra espécies reativas de oxigênio em fígado, estômago e cérebro. O eeRO e a DCM protegeram amostras de fígado e cérebro contra a peroxidação lipídica induzida por nitroprussiato de sódio. O eeRo e as DCM, EA and ButOH tiveram efeitos inibitórios sobre bactérias gram (+) e gram (- ). Contudo, o eeRo e a DCM tiveram as menores concentrações inibitórias. O eeRo, após um tratamento in vivo, protegeu o estômago e o intestino contra a peroxidação lipídica e aumentou a atividade da catalase em ambos estômago e intestino. O eeRo evitou a alteração nos níveis basais da Na+/K+-ATPase e aumentou a atividade da superóxido dismutase apenas no intestino. Além disso, o eeRo reduziu a atividade da mieloperoxidase em estômago e intestino. Os resultados desta tese sugerem que o eeRo, de modo geral, representa uma importante opção contra o estresse oxidativo in vitro, ex vivo e na prevenção de lesões gastrointestinais com mecanismos associados a ação anti-inflamatória ou vasodilatora.

- Abstract
The production of reactive species over physiological levels associated to pathogenic bacteria could represent a high risk for many diseases. The Rosmarinus officinalisL. is used around the world due its pharmacological proprieties. So, in this study our aim is to test for the first time if R. officinalisL. extract (eeRo) and its fractions (DCM, EA, ButOH) could have better or similar antioxidant action to standars and among themselves in vitroor ex vivo,in brain, stomach and liver of rats. Moreover, we intend to clarify their possible effects on pathogenic bacteria. The eeRo was obtained from the dried leaves subjected to an alcoholic extraction and fractioned. The quantification of the constituents of eeRo and fractions were done by HPLC. The antioxidant proprieties of R. officinaliswas analyzed by DPPH•-radical scavenging, total antioxidant, dichlorofluorescein, lipid peroxidation and sodium nitroprusside -induced lipid peroxidation assays. The Minimum inhibitory concentrations of R. officinalisL. were tested with standard strains of danger bacteria. The eeRo, DCM, EA had significant total antioxidant and DPPH•-radical scavenging activities. The DCM and eeRo got significant effects against basal levels of reactive species in liver, stomach and brain. The eeRo and DCM protected the liver and brain against lipid peroxidation. The eeRo, DCM, EA and ButOH had inhibitory effect in the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In general way, the DCM and eeRo had the best antioxidant and antibacterial effects among all tested fractions.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior Oxidative stress is believed to be involved in the etiology of several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. From this perspective, we have evaluated the possible antioxidant capacities of five different phthalocyanines (PCs), consisting of four metallophthalocyanines (MPCs) and one simple phthalocyanine (PC) in order to explore, for the first time, the potential antioxidant activities of these compounds. Our results show that all PCs tested in this study have significant antioxidant activity in lipid peroxidation assay, providing protection from sodium nitroprusside induced oxidative damage to supernatant from the homogenized liver, brain, and kidney of mice. Compared to the noninduced control, the PCs were generally more efficient in reducing malondialdehyde levels in all assays on lipid peroxidation induced by sodium nitroprusside; the order of decresent efficiency was as follows: manganese-PC (better efficiency) > copper-PC > iron-PC > zinc-PC > PC (worst efficiency). Furthermore, the copper-PC and manganese-PC compounds exerted a significant protective effect in deoxyribose degradation assays, when employing Fe2+, Fe2+ + H2O2, and H2O2 solutions. In conclusion, all PCs tested here were shown to be promising compounds for future in vivo investigations, because of their potential antioxidant activities in vitro. O estresse oxidativo está envolvido na etiologia de diversas doenças crônicas, incluindo doenças cardiovasculares, diabetes, câncer, e doenças neurodegenerativas. A partir desta perspectiva, nós avaliamos as possíveis capacidades antioxidantes de cinco diferentes ftalocianinas (PCs), consistindo de 4 metaloftalocianinas e uma ftalocianina simples, a fim de explorar, pela primeira vez, as possíveis capacidades antioxidantes desses compostos. Os resultados mostram que todas as PCs testadas neste estudo possuem uma significante atividade antioxidante no ensaio de peoxidação lipídica, fornecendo proteção contra a indução de dano oxidativo induzido por nitroprussiato de sódio em sobrenadantes de homogenatos de fígado, cérebro e rins de camundongos. Comparado ao controle induzido, as PCs foram geralmente mais eficientes em reduzir os níveis de malondialdeído em todos os ensaios de peroxidação lipídica induzida por nitroprussiato de sódio; a ordem decrescente de eficiência foi a seguinte: manganês-PC (melhor eficiência) > cobre-PC > ferro-PC > zinco-PC (pior eficiência). Além disso, os compostos cobre-Pc e manganês-Pc exercem um efeito protetor significante em ensaios de degradação da desoxirribose, quando empregando soluções de Fe2+, Fe2+ + H2O2, e H2O2. Em conclusão, todas as PCs testadas aqui mostraram ser compostos promissores para futuras investigações in vivo.

Abstract: Activation of the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (LHPA) and the release of glucocorticoids are fundamental for the adaptive response and immediate survival of an organism in reaction to acute stimuli. However, high levels of glucocorticoids in the brain may produce neuronal injury and a decrease of Na
+ /K+ -ATPase activity, with effects on neurotransmitter signaling, neural activity, as well as the whole animal behavior. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant that inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine by indirect actions on the dopaminergic system and LHPA axis. Its chronic use increases the body''s ability to cope with stress; however, high doses can potentiate its side effects on memory, learning, and sensory motor function. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effect of repeated restraint stress and clomipramine treatment on Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity and on the behavior of male rats. Changes in the behavioral response were evaluated by measuring the memory, learning, anxiety, and exploratory responses. Our results showed that exposure to repeated restraint stress reduced levels of Na+ /K+ -ATPase in brain structures and changed short and long-term memory, learning, and exploratory response when compared to the control group. Exposure to clomipramine treatment increased anxiety levels and reduced Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity in the cerebral cortex as well as short term memory, learning, and exploratory response. In conclusion, the present results provide additional evidence concerning how repeated restraint stress and clomipramine chronically administered at higher dose levels affect the neural activity and behavior of male rats.

- Abstract
Caffeine is presented in many commercial products and has been proven to induce ergogenic effects in exercise, mainly related to redox status homeostasis, inflammation and oxidative stress-related adaptation mechanisms. However, most studies have mainly focused on muscle adaptations, and the role of caffeine in different tissues during exercise training has not been fully described. The aim of this study was therefore, to analyze the effects of chronic caffeine intake and exercise training on liver mitochondria functioning and plasma inflammation markers. Rats were divided into control, control/caffeine, exercise, and exercise/caffeine groups. Exercise groups underwent four weeks of swimming training and caffeine groups were supplemented with 6 mg/kg/day. Liver mitochondrial swelling and complex I activity, and plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities were measured. An anti-inflammatory effect of exercise was evidenced by reduced plasma MPO activity. Additionally, caffeine intake alone and combined with exercise decreased the plasma AChE and MPO activities. The per se anti-inflammatory effect of caffeine intake should be highlighted considering its widespread use as an ergogenic aid. Therefore, caffeine seems to interfere on exercise-induced adaptations and could also be used in different exercise-related health treatments.
