Maternal Food Restriction During Lactation Reduces Mandible Growth of the Female Offspring in Adulthood: Experimental and Morphometric Analysis

Int. j. morphol; 29 (2), 2011
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of maternal protein and energy restriction during lactation on mandible dimensions of pups (female) at aging. At parturition, Wistar rat dams were randomly assigned to the following groups: 1) control group (C) - free access to a standard laboratory diet ...

Phenytoin-induced Toxicity in the Postnatal Developing Cerebellum of Wistar Rats, Effect of Calotropis procera on Histomorphometric Parameters

Int. j. morphol; 29 (2), 2011
The role of methanolic leaf extracts of Calotropis procera in phenytoin-induced toxicity on histomorphometric variables in the postnatal developing cerebellum of Wistar rat was studied. Pregnant rats were treated orally with 50 mg/kg phenytoin in pre and post natal life and 300 mg/kg methanolic leaf extr...

Métodos: Foram utilizados 20 ratos wistars, divididos em cinco grupos. Foi lesionada, por meio de cirurgia, a região de T8, expondo as meninges e o...

Bone mineral density and bone strength from the mandible of chronically protein restricted rats

Acta odontol. latinoam; 24 (3), 2011
The present investigation was performed to assess the biomechanical repercussion of protein malnutrition imposed on rats between the 26th and 135th days of postnatal life on the mandible, which is not a weight-bearing bone but supports the loads related to the masticatory activity. Female Wistar rats age...

Estudo morfológico e imuno-histoquímico do plexo mientérico das válvulas confeccionadas no colo de ratos submetidos à amputação abdominoperineal e colostomia perineal
Morphological and immunohistochemical study of the myenteric plexus of valves made in the neck of rats submitted to abdominoperineal amputation and perineal colostomy

Colostomia abdominal definitiva após amputação abdominoperineal é uma cirurgia estabelecida, mas não é isenta de morbidades. A proposta de substituição a ela é a técnica da colostomia perineal que preenche as exigências atuais do tratamento do câncer de reto, porque ela não interfere na radi...

Side effects of cyclosporine-A treatment in rats: gingival overgrowth and early hyperglycemia

Acta odontol. latinoam; 23 (3), 2010
Gingival overgrowth is an adverse side effect of cyclosporine A (CsA) in the treatment of transplanted patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CsA on new-onset diabetes mellitus and gingival overgrowth in rats, by measuring collagen, nitric oxide and microvascular permeability....

Evaluation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in interradicular bone marrow in olpadronate treated animals

Acta odontol. latinoam; 23 (3), 2010
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a protein that increases vascular permeability and induces the proliferation, migration and survival of endothelial cells. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are antiresorptive drugs that are widely used in the treatment of bone metabolism diseases and bone metastases. Sin...
