Prospective Protective Effects of Arthrospira platensis Against Acetaminophen Induced Hepato-Renal Toxicity in Rats

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: The toxic effects of acetaminophen appear primarily in the liver and kidney. The protective effect of blue green alga Arthrospira platensis on hepato-renal toxicity caused by acetaminophen was evaluated in male rats. The obtained results showed that subcutaneous injection of acetaminophen at a d...

Histological Evaluation of the Effect of Alendronate on the Maxillary Bone of Wistar Rats Combined with Orthodontic Movement of Intense Force

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: To evaluate the histological adverse effects of alendronate administered systemically and topically in combination with orthodontic movement by intense force. Thirty-six 24-week-old female Wistar rats, ovariectomized, were used and divided into three groups (n = 12/group): control, locally treat...

Qualitative Histologic Assessment vs. Geomorphometric Analysis of Nerve Fiber Shape after the Intraneural Application of Liposomal Bupivacaine

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: The preserved form of all components of the nerve fiber is a prerequisite for the proper conduction of the nerve impulse. various factors can change the shape of nerve fibers. In everyday practice, qualitative histological analysis is the gold standard for detecting changes in shape. Geometric m...

Biomechanical Effects of Angiotensin 1-7 in Diabetes Rats Femur

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: It is known that diabetes mellitus has late complications, including microvascular and macrovascular diseases. Diabetes can affect bones through biochemical markers of bone structure, density, and turnover. This study aimed to biomechanically investigate the bone-protective effects of angiotensi...

Morphological and Functional Analysis of Cardiac Ameliorations in Elderly Rats Supplemented with a Magnolol Extract Complex

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: Magnolia bark extract supplementation has an anti-oxidative role in mammalians. However, its role in physiological aged-associated heart insufficiency is not known yet. Therefore, we investigated the effects of a magnolia bark complex, including magnolol and honokiol components (MAHOC), in elder...

Cardioprotective effects of Baccharis trimera (Less) DC in a rodent model of hookah, alcohol, and energy drink exposure

This study proposes an unpreceded model of cardiovascular disease by combining alcohol and energy drink intake with hookah smoking to investigate the cardiovascular effects of Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC., a medicinal plant used to treat dyslipidemia. For 10 weeks, Wistar rats (n=8) re...

Gastroprotective effect of the crude ethanolic extract from the stem barks of Piptadenia viridiflora (Kunth) Benth. (Fabaceae)

The objective of this work was to evaluate the gastroprotective activity of the crude ethanolic extract (CEE) from the stem barks of Piptadenia viridiflora using the acute models of inducing gastric ulcers by ethanol, ethanol-acidified, and ischemia-reperfusion, and correlating thi...

Microcirculatory changes as a hallmark of aging in the heart and kidney

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Changes in the microcirculation of multiple tissues and organs have been implicated as a possible mechanism in physiological aging. In particular, vascular endothelial growth factor is a secretory protein responsible for regulating angiogenesis via altering endothelial proliferation, survival, m...

Does L-carnitine prevent cadmium-induced damage in gastrointestinal contractility and histological changes in prepubertal rat

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Cadmium (Cd) is the industrial and environmental toxic heavy metal which is found in air, water and soil. Cd, adversely affects many organs in humans such as kidney, intestine, liver, testis and lungs. L-carnitine (LC) is an important agent that plays essential role in energy metabolism. In our ...

A rat model of rheumatoid arthritis: TDZD-8 is associated with the protection against the induction of the synovium knee joint IL-17A/GSK3beta/ROS/alpha-SMA axis of fibrosis

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that affects the synovial knee joint causes swelling of the synovial membrane and tissue damage. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) are involved in the pathogenesis of RA. The link between IL-17A, GSK3β, the oxidat...
