Resumo
Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos da desnutrição proteica gestacional sobre a interface ovário–placenta, com ênfase nos mecanismos oxidativos, inflamatórios e na modulação pelo sistema endocanabinoide. Revisão bibliográfica: A gestação exige adaptações morfofuncionais complexas do sistema reprodutor feminino, nas quais o aporte proteico adequado é essencial para a esteroidogênese ovariana, placentação, angiogênese e homeostase redox. A restrição proteica compromete a atividade de enzimas antioxidantes, favorece o acúmulo de espécies reativas de oxigênio e ativa vias inflamatórias, como NF-κB, resultando em disfunções placentárias, prejuízo da vascularização materno-fetal e alterações hormonais. O sistema endocanabinoide exerce papel central na implantação embrionária, imunotolerância e desenvolvimento placentário. Evidências experimentais indicam que no canabidiol apresenta propriedades antioxidantes e anti-inflamatórias, com capacidade de modular vias como Nrf2, PI3K/Akt/mTOR e CREB, sugerindo potencial influência sobre a homeostase ovariana e placentária. Considerações finais: A desnutrição proteica gestacional representa um fator crítico de risco para disfunções na interface ovário–placenta. Embora o canabidiol apresente potencial modulador desses mecanismos, sua utilização durante a gestação requer cautela e maior embasamento científico.
