Intestinal inflammatory and redox responses to the perioperative administration of teduglutide in rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (8), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the inflammatory and redox responses to teduglutide on an animal model of laparotomy and intestinal anastomosis. Methods: Wistar rats (n=62) were allocated into four groups: "Ileal Resection and Anastomosis" vs. "Laparotomy", each one split into "Postoperative Teduglut...

Impact of acute undernutrition on growth, ileal morphology and nutrient transport in a murine model

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (10), 2016
Undernutrition represents a major public health challenge for middle- and low-income countries. This study aimed to evaluate whether a multideficient Northeast Brazil regional basic diet (RBD) induces acute morphological and functional changes in the ileum of mice. Swiss mice (∼25 g) were allocated...
