Concentration of collagen fibers in the musculature of broiler chickens fed with cupuacu seed by-product

In this essay, we quantify the concentration of collagen fibers in broiler chickens exposed to increasing concentrations of cupuacu seed by-product. Collection of material was carried out in five chickens per treatment at 70 days old in the groups: control, 5% and 10% inclusion of cupuacu seed by-product...

Effect of risperidone on proliferation and apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (3), 2019
This aim of this study was to assess the molecular mechanism of osteoporosis in schizophrenia patients with risperidone use. Here, we investigated the effects of risperidone on cellular proliferation and apoptosis of a preosteoblast cell line, MC3T3-E1. Cell viability and apoptotic rate of MC3T3-E1 were ...

Muscle strength training is better than the use of growth hormone (GH) in bone health of Wistar rats

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of growth hormone (GH) and muscle strength training (ST) on the composition of bone tissue of Wistar rats through Raman spectroscopy. In total, 40 male rats were randomly distributed into four groups: (N = 10) control (C), control with the ...

Decellularization of human umbilical arteries

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
SUMMARY: Arterial obstruction in small diameter (<6 mm) vessels are many times treated with grafts, however autologous aren't always available and synthetic have a high rate of complications. Decellularization of umbilical arteries may provide a solution, but the ideal method is debatable. We compare ...
