Hyperthyroidism was induced in rats by L-thyroxine administration (12 mg/L in drinking water, 4 weeks). Animals were assessed hemodynamically, and heart, lung, and liver morphometry were performed. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) and protein oxidation (carbonyls) were measured in heart homogenates. It was quantified glutathione (GSH) metabolism, and antioxidant enzyme activities its and protein expression (by Westem blot). At the end of treatment, it was observed cardiac hypertrophy, elevation of left ventricular systolic and end diastolic pressures, lung and liver congestion. LPO and carbonyls were increased in the hyperthyroid group, and GSH was decreased by 46% in the fourth week. Myocardial oxidative stress time course analysis revealed that it was increased in the second week of treatment. Antioxidant enzyme activities elevation was accompanied by protein expression induction in the hyperthyroid group in the fourth week. These results imply that hyperthyroidism generates myocardial dysfunction associated with oxidative stress inducing antioxidant enzyme activities and protein expression.
