Tokom fetalnog razvića organizam prolazi kroz “kritične periode”, tokom kojih se
dešavaju intenzivne ćelijske deobe, razvijanje i sazrevanje tkiva, organa i organskih sistema.
Sredina u kojoj fetus raste i razvija se u velikoj meri odreñuje kvalitet razvojnog procesa, a
svaka promena uslova dovodi do čitavog niza poremećaja, koji mogu biti praćeni
smanjenjem fetalnog rasta ili IUGR (eng. Intrauterine growth retardation). Posledice IUGR
su dugotrajne i ispoljavaju se u vidu različitih metaboličkih i kardiovaskularnih oboljenja u
kasnijem životu. Fetalno okruženje na taj način odreñuje adultni fenotip, a njihova
povezanost proučava se u okviru koncepta programiranja. Najčešće korišćeni
eksperimentalni pristupi u proučavanju programiranja i efekta IUGR su dijeta majke koja
vodi pothranjenosti, izazivanje stresne reakcije kod majke ili primena antenatalne terapije
glukokortikoidima. Svaki od ovih eksperimentalnih modela različitim mehanizmima dovodi
do izlaganja fetusa povećanoj koncentrac...iji glukokortikoida, koji u velikoj meri mogu da
poremete fiziološki tok razvojnog procesa.
Cilj ove studije je bio da se ustanovi da li je izlaganje fetusa pacova od 16. do 18.dana gestacije sintetičkom glukokortikoidu deksametazonu programiralo razvoj i funkciju
hipofizno-ovarijalnog sistema od fetalnog do peripubertalnog perioda života.
Predmet istraživanja u ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji bili su fetusi i ženke pacova koje
su od 16. do 18. dana gestacije izloženi deksametazonu.
Gravidne ženke pacova su tri uzastopna dana (od 16. do 18. dana gestacije)
subkutano tretirane deksametazonom (Dexamethasonis phosphat - Dx, Krka, p.o., Novo
Mesto) rastvorenom u fiziološkom rastvoru (0.9% NaCl), u dozi od 1.0, 0.5 i 0.5 mg Dx/kg...
During fetal development an organism undergoes “critical periods” of intensive cell
division as well as the growth and maturation of tissues, organs and organ systems. The
fetal environment principally determines the quality of the developmental process, while
variation of conditions may lead to a range of disorders followed by intrauterine growth
retardation (IUGR). The consequences of IUGR are long-lasting and manifest through
various metabolic and cardiovascular issues in later life. Thus, the fetal environment
prejudices the adult phenotype, while their intertwining is elaborated with the programming
concept. The most widely exploited experimental approaches in the field of programming
and IUGR effects are maternal diet leading to offspring malnutrition, provoking stress to
mother and antenatal glucocorticoid therapy. Each of these experimental approaches via
different mechanisms leads to fetal exposure to elevated glucocorticoid levels, which may
disrupt to a great extent the phys...iology of the developmental process.
The aim of this study was to establish whether the exposure of rat fetuses to
synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone, during the period between days 16 and 18 of gestation, programmed the development and function of the pituitary-ovarian system,
starting from the fetal to the peripubertal period of life.
The subject of this doctoral thesis investigation were rat fetuses and females exposed to
dexamethasone from the 16th to the 18th gestational day.
During three consecutive days (16–18 days of gestation) pregnant rat females were
subcutaneously treated with dexamethasone (Dexamethasonis phosphate – Dx, Krka, p.o.,
Novo Mesto) dissolved in saline (0.9% NaCl), in doses of 1.0, 0.5 and 0.5 mg Dx/kg...
