Abstract

O excesso de óxido nítrico (NO) produzido por indução da enzima óxido nítrico sintase (iNOS) participa do desenvolvimento de inúmeras desordens que conduzem à perda da homeostasia. O estresse oxidativo gerado pelo aumento da produção endógena de NO pode levar a efeitos de toxidade induzida, tais como peroxidação lipídica, nitração de proteínas e danos ao DNA. Compostos que sejam capazes de sequestrar o radical NO podem diminuir a toxicidade das espécies reativas de nitrogênio (RNS), atuando na modulação de processos inflamatórios. Trabalhos realizados com alga da espécie Bryothamnion triquetrum (Gmelin) Howe, demonstraram que a mesma apresenta ação antioxidante, tendo sido eficiente no sequestro do radical DPPH, além de inibição da peroxidação lipídica, com uma atividade comparável ao ácido ascórbico e ao α-tocoferol. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a capacidade de sequestro do radical NO in vitro pelo extrato metanólico da Bryothamnion triquetrum. Os resultados obtidos revelaram a presença de polifenóis sendo que todas as concentrações testadas (1,0; 2,5; 7,5; 10,0 mg/mL) foram capazes de inibir a formação de nitrito a partir de uma solução de nitroprussiato de sódio 5 mM sendo a concentração de 7,5 mg/mL a que apresentou maior percentual de inibição com 46,6%.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
