Resumo
It was to evaluate the concentration of sulfate glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in mammary tissue of the young and adult female rats and ovariectomized females rats after hormonal stimulation. For this purpose, 60 female rats were divided into six groups with 10 animals/each: nonovariectomized groups: G1 (5 months), and G2 (15 months) and ovariectomized groups: OG (vehicle)
EG: (estradiol, 7 days of treatment), PG (progesterone acetate, 23 days of treatment) and EPG: (estradiol (7 days of treatment) and next progesterone acetate (23 days of treatment). Twenty-four hours after the last treatment, all animals were euthanized, the mammary tissue removed, processed for biochemical evaluation and quantification of the GAG. The comparison between groups showed that the concentration dermatan sulfate (DS) G1 was lower compared to G2, OG, EG (p < .05) and G2 was lower compared to OG (p < .05), and OG was higher compared to EG, GP, EPG (p < .05)
and heparan sulfate (HS) G1 was higher compared to G2 (p < .05), and G2 was higher compared to OG, EP, PG and EPG (p < .05). These changes in the extracellular matrix might explain, at least in part, hormonal influence about sulfated glycosaminoglycans in response to physiological state/age, and in response to hormonal treatment in the mammary tissues.
