Ação da melatonina no tecido cartilaginoso

Abstract

ResumoOs autores fazem uma revisão que mostra a ação da melatonina sobre o tecido cartilaginoso. Referem sua estrutura química, seu local de síntese, seus receptores e sua ação. Relatam que os níveis baixos da melatonina na menopausa poderiam ser um importante fator no desenvolvimento e na manutenção da osteoporose, visto que em ratas a sua reposição leva a um aumento da densidade mineral óssea e da espessura da cartilagem articular. Sugerem uma possível ação benéfica da melatonina na proteção das lesões da cartilagem articular, o que poderia estar relacionado ao bloqueio do estresse oxidativo, uma vez que produtos desse estresse, com resíduos de tirosina, são observados no tecido cartilaginoso com doenças de degradação articular. Sugerem que a melatonina aumenta a síntese de matriz cartilaginosa. Esses fatos indicam que a melatonina pode ser benéfica para o tecido cartilaginoso, uma vez que há uma redução da secreção do hormônio da melatonina, com o avançar da idade, o qual está relacionado ao aumento da incidência de osteoartrite.AbstractThe authors write a review showing the action of melatonin on the cartilaginous tissue and relate its chemical structure, site of synthesis, and receptors. They report that low levels of melatonin in menopause may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, since its replacement in rats leads to an increase in bone mineral density and the thickness of articular cartilage. It is also suggested a possible beneficial effect of melatonin in the prevention of articular cartilage lesions, which could be related to the blockade of oxidative stress, since products of this stress, in addition to tyrosine residues, are observed in the cartilage tissue degradation in joint diseases. Furthermore, it is related that melatonin enhances cartilage matrix synthesis. These facts indicate that melatonin may be beneficial to the integrity of cartilaginous tissue, since there is a reduced secretion of melatonin with advancing age, which is related to increased incidence of osteoarthritis.
