Examining the Impact of Acute Binge Alcohol Consumption on Trabecular Morphometry and Tensile Strength in Adolescent Sprague Dawley Rat Mandibles

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: Underage drinking has become a major public concern having a negative impact on the growth and development of the skeleton. Peak bone mass is attained during adolescence hence the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of acute binge alcohol consumption on trabecular morphometry and tens...

The Effects of Acute Binge Alcohol Consumption on the Trabecular Morphometry and Tensile Strength of Adolescent Sprague Dawley Rat Femora

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Excessive alcohol consumption adversely affects bone metabolism, thus resulting in reduced bone length, density, and strength. Moreover, these deficits in bone density and strength are likely to increase the risk of fragility fractures and the early onset of osteoporosis. While excessive alcohol...

Protective Effect of Mormodica balsamina Leaf Extract on the Gastric Morphology of Experimental Rats Against Ethanol Induced Gastric Ulcers

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Mormodica balsamina is a valuable medicinal plant that is used to treat wounds and inflammation; its leaves are also used as an antibiotic and in the treatment of stomach pain. This study was conducted to determine the anti-ulcer activity of methanolic leaf extract of Mormodica balsamina on etha...

Polygonum hydropiper extract attenuates ethanol-induced gastric damage through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (8), 2021
The present study was conducted to investigate the underlying mechanisms and effective components of Polygonum hydropiper in ethanol-induced acute gastric mucosal lesions. The ethanol extract was purified on an AB-8 macroporous resin column and eluted with 60% ethanol and was then injected into the HPLC ...

Sub-chronic toxicity evaluation of Dryopteris filix-mas (L. ) schott, leaf extract in albino rats

This study evaluated the acute and sub-chronic toxicities of ethanol leaf extract of Dryopteris filix-mas. Acute toxicity and phytochemical tests on ethanol leaf extract were determined. In sub-chronic toxicity test, animals were treated with 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg of extract every day for 90 days....

Ethanol intake and toxicity: in search of new treatments

Int. j. morphol; 35 (3), 2017
Prolonged alcohol consumption has consequences on the liver, producing necrotic precipitates and fibrosis, on the pancreas, causing the pancreatic acini to atrophy and destroying insulin-producing cells, and on the central nervous system (CNS), causing the gray and white matter in the frontal lobes of th...

Gastroprotective effects of D-002 (beeswax alcohols) and Lyprinol® on experimentally-induced gastric ulceration in rats

Rev. cuba. farm; 49 (3), 2015
Introduction: D-002, a mixture of beeswax alcohols, has been effective in osteoarthritis models and for reducing osteoarthritis symptoms. Unlike the classic anti-inflammatory drugs, D-002 elicits gastroprotective rather than gastrotoxic effects. Lyprinol, used for ameliorating inflammation and arthritic ...

Histometric Study of the Epithelium of Rats Submitted to Ethanol During Lactation

Int. j. morphol; 25 (4), 2007
The present work studied the adverse effects of maternal exposure of rats to alcohol during lactation, on the development of their offspring. Histometric evaluation by karyometry and of the palatine epithelium of the sucking was performed. Two groups of animals, one coming from mothers exposed to drinkin...

Acción del Etanol sobre el Epitelio Nasal y Glándulas Septales de Ratas, Durante la Lactancia

Int. j. morphol; 23 (4), 2005
El consumo materno de etanol durante la lactancia altera la composición de la leche, provoca la aparición de etanol y acetaldehído en la leche y agrava los efectos del etanol en las crías de ratas. De este modo, fueron estudiados los efectos del etanol, administrado a las ratas madres durante la lact...
