Nitric oxide storage levels modulate vasodilation and the hypotensive effect induced by photobiomodulation using an aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) diode laser (660 nm).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the participation of nitric oxide (NO) in the hypotensive and vasorelaxation effect induced by PBM using an aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) diode laser (660 nm). Male Wistar rats were treated with the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME). A red laser (660 nm; 63 J/cm2; 56 s/point) was applied to the abdominal region at six different points. Thoracic aorta was dissected for vascular reactivity study, and a laser (660 nm; 96 J/cm2; 56 s) was applied after incubation with the NO donor DETA-NO, PBS, or hydroxicobalamin. Endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with DETA-NO or CuSO4, and then, PBM (63 J/cm2) was applied, and the nitric oxide was detected. Hypertensive L-NAME rats did not exhibit a decrease in blood pressure after PBM. PBM promoted vasodilation in the aorta isolated from normotensive rats, and less effect in the aorta of L-NAME rats and the addition of the NO donor, DETA-NO, promoted greater vasodilation by PBM in the aorta of L-NAME rats. In endothelial cells, an increase in NO, after PBM, was detected; however, with the addition of CuSO4, which catalyzes the decomposition of NO storage, there was no detection of NO after PBM. The results of this study demonstrate that the hypotensive and vasodilatory effect of PBM with a red laser at 660 nm is modulated by the release of nitric oxide from the storage.

Estudo do comportamento cortisol, gh e insulina apos uma sessao de exercicio resistido agudo / Study of the behavior of cortisol, gh and insulin after a session of acute resisted exercise / Estudio del comportamiento de cortisol, gh e insulina despues de uma sesion de ejercicio resistido agudo

INTRODUÇÃO: Muitos trabalhos têm estudado o comportamento hormonal nos exercício resistido, entretanto poucos relacionam os hormônios cortisol, GH e insulina. OBJETIVO: Estudar os ajustes das concentrações plasmáticas dos hormônios cortisol, GH e insulina em exercícios resistidos de mesma intensidade com relação à massas musculares distintas. MÉTODOS: Dez voluntários, com 20,3 ± 4,2 anos, 74,1 ± 10,2 kg de peso, 177,2 ± 4,6 cm de estatura e 23,8 ± 3,2 kg/m2 de IMC, realizaram uma sessão de leg press (LP) e supino reto (SR) com quatro séries com 10 repetições a 70% 1 RM com três minutos de intervalo. Foram coletadas amostras de sangue para dosagem das concentrações plasmáticas de cortisol, GH e insulina em repouso (Pré) e em 0' (Rec. 0'), 30' (Rec. 30') e 90' (Rec. 90') de recuperação. RESULTADOS: As concentrações plasmáticas de cortisol foram significativamente reduzidas ao final da recuperação em LP (2,20±0,37 ng/dl para 1,33±0,38ng/dl) em relação à pré-dosagem. As concentrações de GH e insulina elevaram-se significativamente durante a recuperação. GH em LP foi significativamente maior em Rec. 0' (2,75±3,29 ng/ml para 9,60±5,32 ng/dl) do que em pré. A insulina elevou-se significativamente em Rec. 30' em LP (14,70±7,92 ulU/ml para 21,66 ± 8,61 ulU/ml) e em SR (6,17 ± 2,99 ulU/ml para 19,70 ± 13,8 ulU/ml) em relação à pré. As concentrações plasmáticas de insulina pré em LP foram significativamente superiores a SR (14,70 ulU/ml e 6,17 ± 2,99 ulU/ml). CONCLUSÃO: O exercício resistido promoveu diferentes ajustes nas concentrações hormonais de cortisol, GH e insulina durante o período de recuperação. .

INTRODUCTION: Many works have studied the hormonal behavior in resistance exercise, however, few relate the cortisol, GH and insulin hormones. OBJECTIVE: To study the adjustments of plasma concentrations of the cortisol, GH and insulin hormones in resisted exercises of the same relative intensity with different muscle musses. METHODS: Ten volunteers, aged 20.3 ± 4.2 years, weight 74.1 ± 10.2 Kg, 177.2 ± 4.6 cm of stature and 23.8 ± 3.2 Kg/m2 of BMI, underwent a session of leg press (LP) and bench press (BP) with four sets of 10 repetitions at 70% 1 RM with three minutes apart. We collected blood samples to measure plasma concentrations of cortisol, GH and insulin at rest (Pre) and 0' (Rec. 0'), 30' (Rec. 30') and 90' (Rec. 90') of recovery. RESULTS: Plasma concentrations of cortisol decreased significantly at the end of the recovery in LP (2.20 ± 0.37 ng/dl to 1.33 ± 0.38 ng/dl) compared to pre. The GH and insulin concentrations significantly increased during recovery. GH was significantly higher in LP Rec. 0' (2.75 ± 3.29 ng/ml to 9.60 ± 5.32 ng/dl) than in pre. Insulin was significantly elevated in Rec. 30' in LP (14.70 ± 7.92 ulU/ml to 21.66 ± 8.61 ulU/ml) and BP (6.17 ± 2.99 ulU/ml to 19.70 ± 13.8 ulU/ml) for pre. The plasma insulin concentrations pre PL were significantly higher in the BP (14.70 ulU/ml and 6.17 ± 2.99 ulU/ml). CONCLUSION: Resisted exercise promoted different adjustments in hormone concentrations of cortisol, GH and insulin during the recovery period. .

INTRODUCCIÓN: Muchos trabajos han estudiado el comportamiento hormonal en el ejercicio de resistencia, sin embargo, pocos se refieren el cortisol, GH y las hormonas insulina. OBJETIVO: Estudiar los ajustes de las concentraciones plasmáticas de las hormonas cortisol, GH e insulina en ejercicios resistidos, de igual intensidad, en relación con las masas musculares diferentes. MÉTODOS: Diez voluntarios, con 20,3 ± 4,2 años, 74,1 ± 10,2 kg de peso, 177,2 ± 4,6 cm de estatura y 23,8 ± 3,2 kg/m2 de IMC, realizaron una sesión de leg press (LP) y supino recto (SR) con cuatro series, de 10 repeticiones a 70% 1 RM, con tres minutos de intervalo. Se recolectaron muestras de sangre para dosificación de las concentraciones plasmáticas de cortisol, GH e insulina en reposo (Pré) y en 0' (Rec. 0'), 30' (Rec. 30') y 90' (Rec. 90') de recuperación. RESULTADOS: Las concentraciones plasmáticas de cortisol se redujeron significativamente al final de la recuperación en LP (2,20±0,37 ng/dl para 1,33±0,38ng/dl) en relación con la predosificación. Las concentraciones de GH e insulina aumentaron significativamente durante la recuperación. GH en LP fue significativamente mayor en Rec. 0' (2,75±3,29 ng/ml para 9,60±5,32 ng/dl) en comparación con la predosificación. La insulina se elevó significativamente en Rec. 30' en LP (14,70±7,92 ulU/ml para 21,66 ± 8,61 ulU/ml) y en SR (6,17 ± 2,99 ulU/ml para 19,70 ± 13,8 ulU/ml) en relación con la predosificación. Las concentraciones plasmáticas de insulina, predosificación, en LP fueron significativamente superiores a SR (14,70 ulU/ml y 6,17 ± 2,99 ulU/ml). CONCLUSIÓN: El ejercicio resistido causó diferentes ajustes en las concentraciones hormonales de cortisol, GH e insulina durante el período de recuperación. .
