In this work was investigated the participation of MMP's in acute lead intoxication, as well as if doxycycline reverses the lead-induced hypertension,and whether there arechanges in CGRP (calcitonin gene related peptide),adrenomedullin or endothelinplasma levels afterlead-induced hypertension.40 Wistar young adult male rats(weighting 200g) were used. Pb group (n=12) was intoxicated with lead acetate (1st dose 8μg/100g of body weight, and subsequent doses 0.10 μg/100g, intra-peritoneal to cover daily loss, during seven days) and treated with doxycycline (30mg/kg of body weight) (Pb+Doxy group, = 12) or saline (Pb group, = 12) by gavage, once a day. Control groups (n=8) received sodium acetate in order to offer the same amount of acetate molecules asPb group. Control group was also treated with doxycycline (Doxy group, n=8). All treatments were performed for seven days. Lead concentrations in whole blood were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Plasma adrenomedullin, CGRP, endothelin and MMP-2 concentrations were evaluated using commercials enzyme immunoassays (ELISA) kits. All experiments were approved by the Institution ethics committee (protocol nº 458/2013). There was an increase (P<0.05) in the systolic blood pressure of Pb group (167 mmHg vs. 142 ± 2 ou 143± 3 mmHg in Control group), however, doxycycline showed a decrease in these values (137± mmHg in Pb+Doxy group). The lead concentrations in blood were significantly increased in both intoxicated groups (Pb and Pb+Doxy groups) which presented 10μg/dL±1,0 μg/dLvs. 2μg/dL±1,0 μg/dL, in non-intoxicated groups (Saline or Doxy groups). Doxycycline reversed the reduction of 45% in the levels ofadrenomedullin induced by lead (Pb group presented 0.43 pg/mL vs. 1.0 pg/mL in Pb+Doxy group). We did not observe changes in the plasmatic levels of CGRP, endothelin and MMP-2.We suggest that hypertension induced by lead exposure (8 μg/100g ...
