Resumo

BackgroundOxidative stress is one potential mechanism that explain the direct effects of smoking on cardiac remodeling process. However, no study has compared different myocardial products of macromolecule oxidation after tobacco smoke exposure. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the lipid hydroperoxide (LH) levels, protein carbonyl concentrations and DNA damage in cardiac tissue of rats exposed to tobacco smoke.MethodsMale Wistar rats were divided into two groups: group C (control, n=14) composed of animals not exposed to cigarette smoke; group ETS (exposed to tobacco smoke, n=14) composed by animals exposed to cigarette smoke. The animals were exposed to 2month of ETS and morphological, biochemical and functional analyses were performed.ResultsCardiac cotinine levels were elevated in the ETS group. In addition, the myocyte cross-sectional area was higher in the ETS group. (C=266.623.2m(2) and ETS=347.5 +/- 15.1m(2), p<0.001). Cardiac LH was higher in the ETS group than in group C (C=196.4 +/- 51.5nmol/g and ETS=331.9 +/- 52.9nmol/g, p<0.001). However, there were no between-group differences in cardiac protein carbonyl concentration or DNA damage.Conclusions Therefore, our results suggest that, in this model, lipid damage is a good marker of oxidative damage during the cardiac remodeling process induced by 2months of exposure to tobacco smoke.
