L-glutamine supplementation reduced morphological damage in the renal glomerulus of rats with Walker-256 tumor

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of the experimental subcutaneous Walker-256 tumor and L-glutamine supplementation, an antioxidant, on the glomerular morphology of rats. Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 5): control (C); control treated with 2% L-glutamine (CG); rats with...

Gastric toxicity of Alendronate and Methotrexate in Walker 256 carcinosarcoma jaw model

Introduction: Experimental animal models represent a key tool used to elucidate the mechanisms of action and toxicity of anticancer drugs. Objective: The purpose was to establish a correlation of neoplastic growth with the combinatorial therapeutic application of sodium alendronate (ALD) and methotrexate...

Walker-256 Tumor: Experimental Model, Implantation Sites and Number of Cells for Ascitic and Solid Tumor Development

Abstract The Walker-256 tumor is an important experimental model that allow the development of therapies as the biological behavior of this tumor is similar that occur in humans. In front of the above considerations, the aim of this study was to describe the experimental model of Walker-256 tumor, identi...

Red propolis and L-lysine on angiogenesis and tumor growth in a new model of hamster cheek pouch inoculated with Walker 256 tumor cells

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of red propolis and L-lysine on angiogenesis and tumor growth in a new model of hamster cheek pouch inoculated with Walker 256 tumor cells. Methods: The study consisted of two experiments with four groups each (total: 57 hamsters). In the experiment 1, the ani...

Antioxidant effects of açaí seed ( Euterpe oleracea ) in anorexia-cachexia syndrome induced by Walker-256 tumor

Acta cir. bras; 31 (9), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To assess antioxidant effects of açaí seed extract on anorexia-cachexia induced by Walker-256 tumor. METHODS: A population of 20 lab rats were distributed into four groups (n=5): Control Group (CG), which only received tumor inoculation. Experimental Group-100 (EG-100), with anima...

Influence of pneumoperitoneum on tumor implantation in parietal incision: a comparative study of trocar incision and laparotomy in rats

Videolaparoscopic surgery has enabled great progress in surgical procedures. However, the literature shows great controversy concerning its indication in oncological surgery for possibly increasing the implantation of metastases. This experimental study was carried out to help solve this controversy and ...

Efeitos da suplementaçäo nutricional com L-arginina no tumor de Walker 256

Alguns autores tem sugerido que o fornecimento de nutrientes específicos pode melhorar a resposta imunológica e consequentemente o prognóstico do paciente com câncer. Entre estes destaca-se o aminoácido arginina, cuja utilização terapêutica vem sendo investigada em uma variedade de modelos de tum...

Efeitos biológicos dos hormônios tireoideanos em ratos portadores de tumor de Walker
Biological effects of the thyroid hormones in Walker tumor-bearing rats

Ratos receberam implante de células tumorais (Walker 256) sendo sacrificados 7-21 dias mais tarde. Nesses animais verificou-se queda substancial dos níveis circulantes de T3 e T4 (15-60 por cento) e aumento dos de rT3 (1-3,7 vezes), caracterizando a síndrome do T3 baixo. Estas alteraçöes apresentara...

Estudo do metronidazol no tumor de Walker 256 previamente submetido a radioterapia: avaliaçäo polarográfica

E estudo polarográfico do oxigênio e metronidazol foi realizado em 52 ratos inoculados com tumor de Walker 256, implantando-se eletrodos de platina no músculo da coxa e no tumor. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi o estudo das alteraçöes polarográficas, no tumor de Walker 256, com diâmetro aproxi...
