The alterations of microvasculature, tyrosine phosphorylation, and lipid peroxidation in kidney of rats treated with valproic acid

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
SUMMARY: Valproic acid (VPA), an antiepileptic drug, has been demonstrated to damage histology and to change tyrosine phosphorylation patterns with increased oxidative stress in perirenal tissues. This study aimed to investigate the effect of VPA on microstructure, tyrosine phosphorylation, and lipid per...

Protective effect of omega 3 and vitamin D in preventing lung-tissue damage of newborn rats exposed to cigarette smoke during intrauterine period

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
SUMMARY: This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of cigarette smoke exposure on lung and the protective role of Omega 3 and Vitamin D against these toxic effects biochemically and histologically. 28 pregnant Wistar Albino rats were divided into four groups. The first group was control group; th...

La controvertida participación del GLP-1 en los mecanismos fisiológicos desencadenados tras cirugía bariátrica

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
RESUMEN: Numerosas hipótesis se invocan para explicar el efecto beneficioso sobre el metabolismo glucídico tras la cirugía bariátrica. Algunos autores abogan por la secreción y liberación de distintas sustancias con funciones endocrinas (enterohormonas). Una de las sustancias más señaladas como e...

Evaluación de la actividad antioxidante de Cnidoscolus chayamansa (Chaya), Euphorbia prostrata (Hierba de la Golondrina) y Jatropha dioica (Sangre de Drago) en ratas Wistar inducidas a hiperglicemia

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
RESUMEN: Estudios recientes han demostrado que los compuestos activos presentes en extractos de C. chayamansa, E. prostrata y J. dioica tienen propiedades antioxidantes.

Protective Effects of Geraniol on Long Term Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Abstract Possible protective effects of geraniol, known as antioxidant properties, were analyzed biochemically and histologically on experimental long-term renal ischemia/reperfusion I/R injury in rats. This study used 3-4 months old male Wistar albino rats and were divided into 4 groups (n = 7) by rando...

Therapeutic evaluation of magnetic hyperthermia using Fe3O4-aminosilane-coated iron oxide nanoparticles in glioblastoma animal model

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the potential of magnetic hyperthermia using aminosilane-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in glioblastoma tumor model. Methods: The aminosilane-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were analyzed as to their stability in aqueous medium and th...

Chronic treatment with hydroalcoholic extract of Plathymenia reticulata promotes islet hyperplasia and improves glycemic control in diabetic rats

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the anti-hyperglycemic effects of Plathymenia reticulata hydroalcoholic extract and related changes in body weight, lipid profile and the pancreas. Methods: Diabetes was induced in 75 adult male Wistar rats via oral gavage of 65mg/Kg of streptozotocin. Rats were alloc...

Influence of photobiomodulation therapy on root development of rat molars with open apex and pulp necrosis

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the role of photobiomodulation (PBM) in apexification and apexogenesis of necrotic rat molars with an open apex. Rat molars were exposed to the oral environment for 3 weeks. Canals were rinsed with 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, filled with antibiotic paste and sealed. Aft...

Hypertension affects the biocompatibility and biomineralization of MTA, High-plasticity MTA, and Biodentine®

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of hypertension on tissue response and biomineralization capacity of white Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), High-plasticity MTA (MTA HP), and Biodentine® (BDT) in rats. Polyethylene tubes filled with MTA, MTA HP, BDT, and the control group (empty tubes) were pla...

Treatment of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis using platelet-rich plasma: microtomographic, microscopic, and immunohistochemical analyses

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on tooth extraction sites in rats treated with bisphosphonates. Thirty Albinus Wistar male rats were administered 0.035 mg/kg zoledronic acid intravenously for 8 weeks, divided into four administrations with a 2-week in...
