Pretreatment with kuanxiong aerosol protects against coronary microvascular dysfunction

This study investigates the efficacy and mechanisms of Kuanxiong Aerosol (KXA) on coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in rats. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, model, KXA, and nicorandil groups, receiving respective treatments for three weeks. The CMD...

Evaluation of effect of Nerium oleander against STZ induced diabetic neuropathy rat model by reducing NF-κB pathway

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a chronic diabetic complication, which is difficult to manage. The current investigation evaluates the effect of Nerium oleander (NO) in the management of diabetic neuropathy (DN). Diabetic neuropathy was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) [60 mg/kg, i.p.] and treated ...

Impact of Aging on the Morphology of the Adrenal Gland in Rats

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: Aging is an inevitable biological process that affects the function of all organs, including the adrenal gland, which is essential for producing steroid hormones that regulate metabolism, stress response, and immune activation. Understanding how aging affects the morphology of this gland is cruc...

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...

Melatonin as a preventive treatment of tongue mucosa alterations in an animal model of orofacial radiation

Objective: To evaluate the effect of melatonin as a protective treatment for the tongue in irradiated rats. Materials and Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to a single session of 50 Gy radiation and treated with melatonin 30 minutes before and after the radiotherapy session. A clinical eva...

Effect of a Dose-Dependent Administration of Binge Alcohol on the Mandible in the Adolescent Sprague Dawley Rat

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Binge drinking in adolescents has a negative effect on the developing skeleton and the attainment of peak bone mass. Our study aimed to examine the effect of binge drinking on the growth and functional integrity of the adolescent Sprague Dawley rat mandible and to determine if a dosage of 1.5 g/...

Histological and Endocrine Effects of Chronic Exposure to MP2.5 Derived from Wood Smoke in the Uterus of Nulliparous Adult Rats

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The study explores the relationship between chronic exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), sourced from wood smoke, and the histological structure and endocrine function of the uterus in nulliparous adult rats. It assesses potential structural changes in the uterus that could impact reprod...

Dopamine Dynamics in the Amygdala Influence Emotional Changes in the Early Stage of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome in Rats

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a potentially fatal reaction to various forms of tissue damage and infections that cause damage to various organs. Furthermore, the brain is damaged earlier than other organs, resulting in diffuse brain dysfunction. The central clinical symptom o...

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...

Acteoside Attenuates Recognition Memory Impairment in CUMS Rats via Regulating Synaptic Plasticity and mTOR Signaling Pathway

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: We evaluated the role and mechanism of acteoside in the regulation of memory impairment induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). CUMS was used to induce depression in rats and the successful establishment of CUMS model were verified by forced swimming test and sucrose preference test...
