Action of vanillin (Vanilla planifolia) on the morphology of tibialis anterior and soleus muscles after nerve injury

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 15 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the action of vanillin (Vanilla planifolia) on the morphology of tibialis anterior and soleus muscles after peripheral nerve injury. Methods Wistar rats were divided into four groups, with seven animals each: Control Group, Vanillin Group, Injury Group, and Injury + Van...

Myostatin promotes distinct responses on protein metabolism of skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers of rodents

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (12), 2017
Myostatin is a novel negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. Myostatin expression is also found in heart in a much less extent, but it can be upregulated in pathological conditions, such as heart failure. Myostatin may be involved in inhibiting protein synthesis and/or increasing protein degradation ...

Histomorphometric evaluation of soleus and lateral gastrocnemius muscles of animals submitted to pharmacological manipulation with fluoxetine

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
The pharmacological manipulation with selective inhibitor of serotonin reuptake (SSRIs) can modify the operation of the serotonergic system and may facilitate or inhibit the action of this system, inducing changes in the morphology of the skeletal muscle of rats. The objective of this study was to evalua...

Estudo das junçöes mioneurais de cobaia através das técnicas de esterase inespecífica e azul de metileno
Study of myoneural junctions of guinea-pig through non-specific esterase and methylene blue techniques

As junçoes mioneurais e o calibre das fibras musculares de músculos da parede abdominal de cobaia foram medidas após serem corados com esterase inespecífica e Azul de Metileno. Demonstrou-se que existe correlaçao direta entre diâmetro da fibra muscular e dimensao da sua junçao mioneural. Nao exist...
