Efecto inotrópico y cronotrópico del propranolol sobre aurículas extraídas de ratas con insulina-resistencia inducida por fructosa

Invest. clín; 58 (1), 2017
La insulina-resistencia (IR) es una deficiencia metabólica asociada princi palmente con diabetes tipo 2 y comúnmente relacionada a la etiopatogenia de enfermedades cardiovasculares, siendo el factor determinante del síndrome metabólico. La investigación pretende conocer los efectos cronotrópico e i...

High exposure to boron in drinking water and sperm parameters in Chilean young people

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
Our aim was to describe sperm parameters in residents from Northern Chile. We evaluated in 101 volunteers (18 and 30 years old) urinary and drinking water Boron levels using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry; semen parameters were measured with standardized methods. Each individual was categor...

Protective effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on ischemia­ reperfusion injury in rat ovary

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) as a prophylactic agent on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rat ovary. A total of 28 Wistar rats were divided into 4 equal groups: (I) sham, (II) ischemia, (III) ischemia + reperfusion, and (IV) IR + CAPE....

Quantitative analysis of collagen fibrillar structure in canine uterus exposed to acetate of medroxyprogesterone using second harmonic generation microscopy

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein found in organs and is responsible for providing tissues with structure and function. In order to investigate in canine uteri the potential effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on the changes in collagen deposition were grouped as nulliparous (n=11)...

Effects of quercetin-supplementation in NADH-diaphorase positive neurons subpopulations in the ileum of rats with experimental diabetes mellitus

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
The effects of quercetin supplementation in NADH-diaphorase positive (NADH-d) neurons of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats was carried in this study. Fifteen male rats were divided into three groups: normoglycemic (N), diabetic (D) and diabetic supplemented with quercetin (DQ). Whole mount preparation...
