Objective. To evaluate the effects of endurance, resistance, and a combination both types exercise training on hindlimb motor function recovery nerve regeneration after experimental sciatic lesion in rats. Methods. Sciatic crush was performed adult male rats, 2 weeks lesion, animals were submitted to endurance-resistance programs for 5 weeks. Over period, functional monitored weekly using Functional Index (SFI) histological morphometric analyses used assess at end trainings. Results. The SFI...
The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effect chronic use conventional (CGJ) or organic (OGJ) grape juice from Bordeaux variety on oxidative stress cytoarchitecture in liver rats supplemented with a high-fat diet (HFD) for three months. results demonstrated that HFD induced an increase thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), catalase (CAT) activity 2',7'-dihydrodichlorofluorescein (DCFH) oxidation decrease sulfhydryl content superoxide...
Hybrid scaffolds from natural and synthetic polymers have been widely used due to the complementary nature of their physical biological properties. The aim present study, therefore, has analyzein vivoa bilayer scaffold poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/fibrin electrospun membrane fibrin hydrogel layer on a rat skin model. Fibroblasts were cultivated in keratinocytes generate substitute. without with cells tested full-thickness wound model Wistar Kyoto rats. histological results demonstrated that...
The objective of the present study was to determine whether lesion subthalamic nucleus (STN) promoted by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) would rescue nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons after unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injection into medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Initially, 16 mg 6-OHDA (6-OHDA group) or vehicle (artificial cerebrospinal fluid - aCSF; Sham infused right MFB adult male Wistar rats. Fifteen days surgery, and SHAM groups were randomly subdivided received ipsilateral...
We describe the behavior of snail Megalobulimus abbreviatus upon receiving thermal stimuli and effects pretreatment with morphine naloxone on after a stimulus, in order to establish useful model for nociceptive experiments. Snails submitted non-functional (22ºC) non-thermal hot-plate stress (30ºC) only displayed exploratory behavior. However, animals stimulus (50ºC) biphasic avoidance Latency was measured from time animal placed hot plate when lifted head-foot complex 1 cm substrate,...
Nowadays, the only treatment for human babies suffering from hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is therapeutic hypothermia (TH). However, a better understanding of specific effects TH in males and females important to improve its clinical application. The present study evaluated short-term on brain injury behavioral outcomes male female neonatal rats submitted HI. Seven-day-old Wistar underwent surgery unilateral occlusion right common carotid artery were exposed hypoxic atmosphere (8% oxygen) 75 min....
The rat posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) is a sexually dimorphic area implicated in the control of reproduction. Interestingly, nitric oxide (NO) synthetizing neurons are widely distributed brain regions involved with modulation sexual behavior. Here we studied NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) activity and number positive cells MePD adult males females either across estrous cycle (diestrus, proestrus, estrus, metaestrus) or following ovariectomy substitutive therapy (consisting oil, estradiol...
Background: Salivary gland cancers (SGC) represent an uncommon group of heterogeneous tumors.We performed a retrospective survey SGC diagnosed in reference center for treatment malignant tumors from the south Brazil aiming to determine prognostic value demographic, clinic and pathologic features.Material Methods: Cases as between 2006 2016 were retrospectively collected.Medical records examined extract clinic, follow-up information.Results: One-hundred seven cases identified.The most common...
