RESUMO

The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of diabetes in the activity of some contents from the antioxidant system of submandibular (SM) and parotid (P) salivary glands. The diabetic state was induced by an injection of streptozotocin (60mg/kg body weight) dissolved in 0,1M sodium citrate buffer pH 4,5. Forty-eight hours after the injection, blood was collected and the glycemia determined. Only those animals presenting a blood glucose above 350mg glucose/100ml blood was used in the study. Thirty days after the induction of the diabetes, the animals were sacrificed, the salivary glands were removed and blood was collected and used in the determinations. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was determined in spectrofotometer. The content of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione was determined in HPLC. The lipid peroxidation was determined in blood and in SM and P glands, measuring the tiobarbituric acid (TBARS) which reacts with malonaldeyde (MDA) from lipid peroxidation. The results show an increase in MDA concentration from SM and blood, but not on P gland. The content of GSH and GSSG from SM gland increase, and the content of GSH from P gland decreased. There is no difference in the activity of SOD in both salivary glands. The activity of CAT and GPx from P gland increase, but in SM gland there is no difference. We can conclude that the antioxidant system from the salivary glands have different responses in diabetes state after 30 days of the induction. In SM gland, there is no difference in the activity of the enzymes, but we have an increase in the MDA content. In P gland, we have an increase in the CAT and GPx activity, but not in MDA concentration.
