Investigation of teratogenic effects of letrozole on fetal bone development

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Letrozole is mainly used for the treatment of unexplained infertility, breast cancer and polycystic ovarian syndrome, with secondary use in ovarian stimulation. In cases of unexpected or unknown pregnancy during the use of letrozole, letrozole may cause a teratogenic effect on the fetus. In this...

Histopathological differentiation of drowning in freshwater and saltwater in rats: forensic point of view

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: The postmortem diagnosis of death by drowning is one of the most difficult issues in forensic pathology. We investigated possible evidence differentiating saltwater drowning from freshwater drowning by histopathological changes in brain, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys tissues. A cross section ...

Effect of melatonin on peripheral nerve damage resulting from tibial defect in rats

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Peripheral nerve damage (PNI) can cause demyelination, axonal degeneration and loss of motor and sensory function. Melatonin with its antioxidative effect, has been reported to reduce scar formation in nerve injury, take a role in repair process by suppressing fibroblast proliferation in the dam...

Morphometry: assessing direct and indirect methods of measuring the diameters of tubular structures

Int. j. morphol; 40 (2), 2022
SUMMARY: Knowledge of the diameter of a structure or particle is required for stereological calculations. However, there is no consensus on the methodology for its measurement. This study aims to assess the differences between direct and indirect methods of measuring diameter. It is hypothesised that kid...

Effect of kefir on increased apoptosis in liver and kidney in cisplatin toxicity

Int. j. morphol; 40 (2), 2022
SUMMARY: Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent inducing liver and kidney damage. In this study, we intended to investigate the impact of kefir beverage, an essential probiotic and functional food, on liver and kidney damage induced by cisplatin. Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: Control, ...

Free interstitial levels of metformin in the liver of healthy and diabetic Wistar rats

Abstract In the present study, free interstitial levels reached by metformin in the liver were investigated in control and diabetic rats by microdialysis. Firstly, a bioanalytical method using an HPLC-UV system to determine the drug concentration in microdialysis samples was validated. The blood glucose ...

Comparative effect of ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin on the modulation of bile acid profiles and gut microbiota in rats

Abstract Fluoroquinolones are an important class of antimicrobial agents to manage infectious diseases. However, knowledge about how host bile acids are modified by fluoroquinolones is limited. We investigated and compared the impact of fluoroquinolones on circulating bile acid profiles and gut microbiot...

Análise do potencial do reparo ósseo através da reconstrução de ressecções segmentares por meio da associação de scaffolds de Polidioxanona ou malha de titânio e rhBMP-2: estudo in vivo

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o potencial bioativo de um “scaffold” de Polidioxanona (PDO) com associação da rhBMP-2, nas reconstruções após simulação de ressecção óssea em fêmures de ratos. Para tanto, 24 ratos, machos, adultos, com 6 meses de idade, foram submetidos a ressecçã...
