Efecto <strong>de</strong> grasa bovina sobre perfil lipídico <strong>de</strong> ratones<br />

Las plantas medicinales cumplen un rol importante<br />

en la atención primaria <strong>de</strong> la salud en las comunida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> la<br />

norpatagonia, y en el marco <strong>de</strong>l proyecto <strong>de</strong> investigación se<br />

propone conocer la bioactividad <strong>de</strong> las especies autóctonas,<br />

particularmente aquellas vinculadas a usos como hipoglucemiantes<br />

e hipolipemiantes. A partir <strong>de</strong>l relevamiento <strong>de</strong> las<br />

plantas se i<strong>de</strong>ntificó al neneo (Mulinum spinosum) que se<br />

utiliza popularmente como tratamiento para “bajar el azúcar y<br />

las grasas <strong>de</strong> la sangre”. Con el fin <strong>de</strong> evaluar la posible acción<br />

reguladora sobre el metabolismo lipídico <strong>de</strong> M. spinosum se<br />

planteó el objetivo <strong>de</strong> generar un mo<strong>de</strong>lo <strong>de</strong> ratón hiperlipidémico,<br />

a partir <strong>de</strong> la modificación en su dieta.<br />

Se utilizaron ratones macho BalbC alimentados con<br />

una dieta suplementada con grasa bovina durante un periodo<br />

<strong>de</strong> 30 días. Al término <strong>de</strong>l tratamiento se evaluaron los parámetros<br />

anatómicos y bioquímicos relacionados con el perfil<br />

lipídico. El grupo tratado con dieta rica en grasa mostró<br />

valores <strong>de</strong> triglicéridos significativamente superiores a los <strong>de</strong>l<br />

control, tratado con dieta comercial. Ni el peso corporal ni el<br />

hepático se modificaron, tampoco la glucemia, hematocrito,<br />

colesterol total, HDL ni LDL.<br />

Si bien podría esperarse un aumento <strong>de</strong> los niveles<br />

<strong>de</strong> colesterol, ya que la grasa vacuna contiene aproximadamente<br />

un 70% <strong>de</strong> grasas saturadas, la hipertrigliceri<strong>de</strong>mia generada<br />

se <strong>de</strong>bería al alto porcentaje <strong>de</strong> acido esteárico que contiene la<br />

grasa bovina, que no eleva los niveles plasmáticos <strong>de</strong> colesterol<br />

total, a diferencia <strong>de</strong> los ácido mirístico y laúrico.<br />

<strong>Medicina</strong>l plants have an important role in PHA<br />

(primary health attention) in nor-Patagonian communities, and<br />

as a part of the investigation project, it is proposed to study the<br />

bioactivity of autochthonous species especially the ones<br />

related to a hypoglycemic and hypolipemic use. Based on the<br />

plants surveyed, neneo (Mulinum spinosum) was i<strong>de</strong>ntified as<br />

a popularly used treatment to “lower the sugar and fat levels in<br />

blood”.<br />

So as to evaluate the possible regulatory effect of<br />

M. spinosum on lipid metabolism, it was proposed to generate<br />

an hyperlipi<strong>de</strong>mic mouse mo<strong>de</strong>l by modifying its diet. Balb-c<br />

male mice were fed with a diet enriched with bovine fat during<br />

30 days. At the end of the treatment several anatomic and<br />

biochemical parameters were measured. The group treated<br />

with the bovine fat-rich diet showed significantly higher levels<br />

of triglyceri<strong>de</strong>s than the control group which received<br />

commercial diet. The body and hepatic weight were not modified,<br />

nor were the glycemia, hematocrit, total cholesterol,<br />

HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol.<br />

As bovine fat contains approximately a 70 % of<br />

saturated fat, it could be expected an increase in total cholesterol<br />

levels; however, the observed hypertriglyceri<strong>de</strong>mia could<br />

have been due to the high proportion of estearic acid in the<br />

bovine fat, which does not increase cholesterol levels, in<br />

contrast with myristic or lauric acids.<br />

Key words: diet – bovine fat – lipemic profile<br />
