Objetivos

Este proyecto experimental ha sido diseñado para evaluar: a) la capacidad de la oxitetraciclina para inducir esteatosis en el hígado de rata cuando es administrada durante un período prolongado; b) evaluar si las ratas hembras son más susceptibles a este fármaco, y c) estudiar las posibles alteraciones ultraestructurales y su relación con los mecanismos de la esteatosis.

MéTodos

Sesenta y dos ratas Wistar (31 machos y 31 hembras) fueron distribuidas en 6 grupos, dos grupos control y cuatro grupos experimentales. El estudio duró 3 meses. Se obtuvo sangre y tejido hepático bajo anestesia para el estudio morfológico (microscopia óptica [MO] y microscopia electrónica [ME]).

Resultados

La esteatosis fue de tipo microvesicular con una distribución periportal. Apareció en los grupos tratados, con un grado significativamente mayor en las hembras (p = 0,004). No se observó ninguna relación con la dosis. El estudio ultraestructural reveló una dilatación de los microsomas en todos los grupos experimentales, sin diferencias en cuanto al sexo. No se constató una proliferación de los peroxisomas ni la aparición alteraciones mitocondriales.

Conclusiones

La oxitetraciclina produce predominantemente esteatosis hepática microvesicular, apareciendo fundamentalmente en hembras. Como posible mecanismo de esta esteatosis inducida por oxitetraciclina postulamos un descenso en las funciones mitocondrial, microsomal y peroxisomal como resultado de una inhibición en la síntesis proteica de estos compartimientos celulares.

Objectives

This experimental project was designed to evaluate: a) the capacity of oxytetracycline to induce microvesicle steatosis in rat liver when administered over long time periods; b) whether female rats are more susceptible to this substance, and c) the possible ultrastructural alterations and their relation to the mechanisms of steatosis.

Methods

Sixty-two Wistar rats (31 males and 31 females) were distributed into six groups, two control groups and four experimental groups. The experiment lasted three months. Blood and hepatic tissue samples were extracted under anesthesia for morphologic study (optical and electron microscopy).

Results

Steatosis was of the microvesicular type with mainly periportal distribution. Steatosis developed in the treated groups and the degree was significantly greater in the females (p = 0.004). No relationship was found with dose. Ultrastructural study revealed microsome dilation in all experimental groups, with no differences according to sex. Despite the steatosis, no proliferation of peroxisomes or mitochondrial alterations were observed.

Conclusions

Oxytetracycline produced predominantly periportal microvesicular hepatic steatosis, appearing mostly in the females. As a possible mechanism for tetracycline-induced steatosis, we postulate a decrease in mitochondrial, peroxisome and microsome function as a result of protein synthesis inhibition in these cell compartments.
