Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are the main causes of anemia and iron deficiency and tend to affect metabolically active tissues distant from the inflammation areas, such as the retina. From this context, it is interesting to investigate the responsive behavior of the visual system through psychophysical and electrophysiological tests in animals with IBD. The main objective of the present work was to evaluate the behavioral and physiological changes of the visual system in mice with induced anemia, from an acute colitis model. For this purpose, 18 mice were used, divided into three groups: control; Colitis (induced by Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS), and colitis mother (animals born from mothers with induced colitis). Induction with DSS was performed 6 days before the tests, which occurred in the period between 60 and 90 days of life of the subjects. After induction, the electrophysiological responses were collected using the full field electroretinogram as an electrophysiological measure. Scotopic responses (rods, mixed 1 and mixed 2) and photoptic responses (from cones 1 Hz, S cones and flicker at 12, 18, 24 and 30 Hz) were measured. In addition, behavioral tests were performed by training with drinking fountain and evaluation of the perception of contrast, through stimulation with sinusoidal grids, arranged in different frequencies. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA test, using Tukey post- test, considering (P <0.05) as significant. It was found a reduction in the response amplitudes in microvolts (μV) at 60 days in the following responses: b-wave of mixed 1 (colitis: 28.12 and ± 7.96, mother colitis 42.180 And ± 8,525), cone wave 1 Hz (colitis 39.85 and ± 12.74); Cones S (colitis 36.64 and ± 9.09 μV); 18 Hz Flicker (colitis: 25.12 ± 5.62, mother colitis: 38.37 ± 7.1); 24 hr (colitis: 22.46 ± 8.38, mother colitis: 29.41 ± 9.676) and 30 Hz (colitis: 14.4 ± 3.25, mother colitis: 27.13 ± 5.51). At 90 days, reduction in the b wave of rods (colitis: 57.06 ± 6.7), mixed 1 (colitis: 45.69 ± 7.86 and mother colitis: 56.03 ± 17.130), wave ‘a’ of photopic responses (Colitis, 25.1 ± 5.11) and cones S (colitis 31.04 ± 4.83), Flicker 18 Hz (colitis 29.1 ± 9.01) and Flicker 30 Hz (colitis: 41, 8 ± 5.09, mother colitis: 32.72 ± 11.4). There was an increase in implicit time in miliseconds (ms) in rods (colitis 24.68 ± 3.48 ms) and Flicker response of 12 Hz (colitis: 21.69 ± 4.65, mother colitis 22.14 ± 4.42) At 60 days. E cone S (colitis 13.35 ± 1.18) and Flicker 24Hz (mother colitis 28.4 ± 3.87) at 90 days. The behavioral tests showed a decrease in the responses of the colitis group and a delay in the learning on bar pressure response in comparison to the control group. Therefore, anemia impairs scotopic and photopic visual function, affecting rodent retinal cells with anemia and maternal anemia, as well entails in difficulties performing a behavioral learning task in the training performed at the operant conditioning box.

Avaliação do efeito protetor da Euterpe oleracea (açaí) na resposta eletrofisiológica da retina de ratos expostos ao metilmercúrio
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-03-19) COSTA, Alódia Brasil; ROCHA, Fernando Allan de Farias; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3882851981484245; HERCULANO, Anderson Manoel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8407177208423247
Methylmercury (MeHg) is organic form most toxic of mercury. The MeHg exposure generates oxidative stress may affect the retina, because it has a high vulnerability due to their high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and oxygen consumption. In this context, administration of exogenous antioxidants obtained from the diet, such as those present in Euterpe oleracea (açaí), could be a way to prevent this imbalance and its consequences. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the possible protective effect of Euterpe oleracea in electrophysiological changes caused by MeHg in the retina. For this was performed gavage with MeHgCl (5mg/kg) or saline (NaCl 0.9%) for 7 days and pretreatment with açaí (10%) per 28 days. Was used Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: Group MeHg (received standard diet and MeHgCl); MeHg + Acai (enriched diet with acai and MeHgCl); Acai (enriched diet with açai and NaCl); Vehicle (standard diet and NaCl). One day after the last gavage animals were subjected to full-field electroretinography (ffERG) to obtain the scotopic responses (rods, mixed 1 and mixed 2) and photopic responses (cone and flicker at 12, 18, 24 and 30Hz). The next day to the ffERG was applied open field test to evaluate the animals locomotor activity. Subsequently, measurement of the lipid peroxidation by the method TBARS in retinal tissue. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey post-test, considering significant p<0.05. The open field and body weight results showed no difference between groups. The MeHg reduced the amplitude of the following responses: b-wave in rod response (Vehicle: 114.6 ± 23.6 μV and MeHg: 41.2 ± 9.6 μV); a-wave (Vehicle: 8.4 μV and MeHg ± 1.4: 3.4 ± 0.3 μV) and b-wave (Vehicle: 176.7 ± 17.8 μV and MeHg: 69.5 ± 12.0 μV) in mixed 1 responses; a-wave (Vehicle: 103.1 ± 23.3 μV and MeHg: 40.2 ± 9.6 μV) and b-wave (Vehicle: 281 ±, 38.3 μV and MeHg: 138.6 ± 14μV) in mixed 2 response; a-wave (Vehicle: 27.2 ± 3.6 μV and MeHg: 7.5 ± 1.8 μV) and b-wave (Vehicle: 139.3 ± 16.1 μV and MeHg: 54.4 ± 10μV) of cones response; b-wave in frequencies 12 Hz (Vehicle: 67.7 ± 10μV and MeHg: 28.6 ± 6.9 μV), 18Hz (Vehicle: 31.3 ± 3.4 μV and MeHg : 14.2 ± 2.3 μV), 24Hz (Vehicle: 21.0 ± 1.8 μV and MeHg: 11.0 ± 1.1 μV) and 30Hz (Vehicle: 10.9 ± 0.6 μV and MeHg: 6.0 ± 1.1 μV). While the implicit time of the waves was not altered. The pretreatment with Euterpe oleracea prevented the decrease of amplitude of both waves in mixed 1 (a-wave: 8.3 ± 0.6 μV; b-wave: 144.1 ± 7,1 μV) and mixed 2 responses (a-wave: 106.4 ± 13.6 μV; b-wave: 275,2±27,6 μV), b-wave of cone response (104.5 ± 5.9 μV) and photopic flicker at 12 Hz (67.2 ± 9.1 μV), 18 Hz (29.5 ± 4.8 μV) and 24 Hz (21.9 ± 2.4 μV). Lipid peroxidation in retinal tissue of MeHg group (294.9 ± 205.8%) was higher than that of the Vehicle (100 ± 25.1%) and açaí protected against this oxidative damage (MeHg + Acai = 111.2 ± 26.1%). Our results demonstrate diffuse alteration in the electrophysiological response and increase in lipid peroxidation of the retina induced by MeHg and protection exerted by Euterpe oleracea in these two parameters. Thus, Euterpe oleracea could be used as an important alternative to attenuate the changes in the retina caused by MeHg.
